Honestly, though, I doubt too many people are fooled by this incident and imagine the quiet and mysterious Barron is, finally, the *nice* spawn of Satan. From what little Barron intel I’ve come across in the past, it’s clear he supports his father. So, like, fuck all that. But thank you for unraveling this story. When I read about the incident in a Guardian news item, all I could think was, “What the hell am I reading?”

I am somewhat ashamed to admit I didn’t see it for what it was. I fell for the trick. I thought “oh, maybe Barron does have some decency”. Having read this article and your comment, my eyes have been opened. I have a fairly healthy level of cynicism but also a desire to see redeeming qualities in people, even those I don’t like, so, in this case, the latter won over the former.

And, yes, this isn’t Barron’s story. It’s about the woman who was assaulted and the perpetrator.

And look how the *only* reason that has gotten attention and discussion is because of the sort-of celebrity involved in it. Women are abused and murdered daily all over the world, and mostly people don’t bat an eye. Being a woman on this planet is a risk factor. Hell, what’s up with those Epstein files, eh?

And a male “celebrity” too. It’s like “look, this is a good man”.

I am a white woman in the UK and I recognise the privilege that affords me. I know that I would never have been turned down for a job interview because my name was too hard to pronounce. Or ignored because of the colour of my skin. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it must be to navigate the world as a black woman.

However, patriarchal norms still exist and I struggle to get male doctors to take me seriously, among other things.

Sister, I stand with you ✊

He supports and helped get Andrew Tate released into the United States so he is not so innocent.

Good call, Doctor. Barron's public image has been very carefully and intentionally cultivated as a blank slate. He's a 19 year old (adult) with no social media, no known voice or personality. Perfect for positioning as beneficent prince.

He has the last name of a petulant man who desires to be king/dictator of America and that’s all I need to know about him. His father tried to convince us that Barron was a technological genius because he knew how to turn on a laptop and now we are being led to believe that he is some kind knight in shining armor, phuc that. He’s a trump, and no better than his grifting father and that of the First Escort. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it still reeks as being a trump. F47!

I feel like they tried 'too little, too late'. We all know about his monster siblings, ain't no way he comes out of it 'normal' (for lack of a better word).

I’ve been saying something similar for years, when people would tell me they thought Barron was being “hidden” because of some disability. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it seemed like a deliberate attempt to build mystery for a future narrative. Thanks for putting this out there. I really appreciate knowing there are other smart, critical thinkers who aren’t afraid to speak truth to what they see.

It's probably both. Something is very wrong with him, I'll bet you.

Looks exactly like the future High Commander of Gilead from 'The Handmaid's Tale.'

Thank you! Not hard to see the fascist imagery here. “Triumph of the Will” features a lot of boys who look like this.

This analysis hits hard on how power uses dynastic symbolism to obscure its brutality. Your point about the split screen - one body elevated into myth, another distorted for justification - perfectly captures the mecanics of racialized propaganda. What really got me thinking is how this noble heir archetype has been recycled across empires since Rome. I've seen similar patterns in colonial narratives, and its wild how effective that old playbook still is.

Excellent article. Keep reporting on false images.

Barron is the image of Fascism. These people aren’t human.

Leslie Ann's avatar

No, they aren't human — Beyond evil. And they're "polishing" him to take the reigns. They are all absolutely disgusting!

He and his mom have duel citizenship. According to his dad's wishes don't they both have a one way ticket out of the country? The Donald never thinks before he speaks (or maybe he does, which is worse?). Maybe Barron's blank page issue stems from his being boring.

Sorry. Barron is a creep.

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts

I wanna have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

You're so fuckin' special

I wish I was special

Distributing your essays as widely as I can so that people can better see the propaganda infrastructure the regime is trying to build, Dr. Stacey

Really grateful for these tools you are giving us since the U.S. "education" system literally tries to blind us so we cannot see
