Why do we never hear or see Barron Trump? Is his father hiding him?
Some unpleasant facts:
1-Trump Doesn't Need It: Trump is drawing attention without having to show that he is a loving or affectionate parent to his youngest son, who has had the misfortune of getting caught up in his father's need for adulation and in the spotlight of the media. If Barron were required to play a role, they would jog it and become part of the "dogs and ponies" show.
2-Trump's parenting skills might be the only things worse than his leadership skills or his business acumen: No one who has been close to family has ever claimed that he is "Father of the Year" material, and he has done nothing. to improve that public appearance. He is essentially Barron's father and that's it. He does not brag about the child, nor does he seem to spend a significant amount of time with him.
3-Barron and his greed are the only things that hold Melania and Donald's pathetic pairing together: If she hadn't brought Barron out, she would have been replaced by another gold digger (a younger model) a few years ago. She has no intention of allowing anything to happen to her sole source of influence, so she keeps it a secret.
4-His older siblings don't seem to have any relationship to him: in a normal family, you will likely see Barron going to his older siblings' houses and at least hanging out with his children. Or you would see him go to the movies or sporting events with them. That this does not appear to have been captured by the media, seems to indicate that it does not happen. They may see Barron as a competition for the scraps that his father will leave in his will, and nothing more.
5-Doing so would divert attention from The Donald: As Trump makes clear with his tweets, with his impromptu ramblings on the White House lawn and at his rallies, his main concern is himself. It is impossible to see where Barron Trump would fit into the massive egofest that is Trump's presidency. In fact, Barron could steal some of the spotlight, and when it comes to Donald Trump, that just won't work.
6-I don't know if Barron Trump is on the autism spectrum and frankly, I don't care. It's none of my business and why speculate on something that will become apparent in a few years at the most?
7-I know that Trump's other daughter, Tiffany, doesn't appear to be, and he treats her just as badly as Barron. So autism, if it exists, doesn't seem to be a factor in the matter.
