The weird thing is this might actually be true.

(1,945 posts)If he named his son after (William)Barron Hilton, who was actually a successful businessman and really had wealth, to kind of schmooze Hilton. Like to curry favor and try to fit in with that old money socialite crowd. I don't know but suspect they would want nothing to do with a grifter like 45*.

(40,212 posts)It will now be used by the right wing on a loop about how the witness attacked a child.
Trump gave his son this name because he has some affinity for the name Barron, as in John Barron and maybe he was thinking it sounded royal.
This is a truth: You can not give the republicans even an inch.

(15,317 posts)You are also wrong about the name. Barron was Trump's own pseudonym.

Funny thing, none of them were upset when they heard trump bragging about "grabbing pussies" while his third wife was PREGNANT with that 13-year old child.

(16,736 posts)others. I found out recently (last year or so) that the Laura Ingraham (Nazi Salute Laura from GOP convention) radio show, was at times guest-hosted by..... Mike Pence. Birds of a feather. Folks like Savage, Jones, Hannity, etc. are all spin-offs of the Limbaugh model. 24/7/365 they own the radio waves and the military (Armed Services) radio.
