Too early to tell about Baron, but compare Trump's other children - who developed their characters over 3 marriages/mothers - vs. Hunter Biden.


One of my favorite Trump quotes...


“I was a lousy husband for a long time. I really was. I’m a great father though. If I was half as great as a husband as I am a father I would have never been divorced.”

What did she do there? What is her specific skill set or area of expertise?

I honestly have no idea. Do you know or are you just spouting a bunch of meaningless “credentials.” I know she sounds about as dim and vapid as anyone I’ve ever heard every time I’ve heard her speak, but maybe there’s some genuine brilliance I’m missing.

Just by typing this you must be the most ignorant person in TD. And THAT is a tremendous achievement!

Attempting to dunk on someone noting a 6'7" son of a President actually ends up telling more about you and how you view The Royals than you imagine.



Might not be done growing and if he adds muscle to that frame....

I've never seen him play anything, but curbside glance I just think he lacks the coordination to play Div. 1 basketball.

I'm an alumnus.

It's one of the things that Oxford makes clear in their admissions process. It's partly why they struggle to raise funding to the same extent as US colleges as donors don't get any admissions advantages.

Oxford famously turned down the Prime Minister Blair's kid when he applied.

It's one of the things I'm most proud of as an alum. Oxford doesn't consider your connections - I was the son of a doctor so I'm very, very grateful.

McKinsey is a management consulting firm.

They tend to offer advice to corporate boards in return for a fee. The advice can vary from on what to price your goods, your market and customer analysis or even on how to implement government policy.

I wasn’t asking for the Wikipedia description of McKinsey, you realize?

I would expect better ability of discernment from an Oxford man.

I've never worked at McKinsey so I can't give any more info than that.

I know they used to host dinners and events in my college but I never got passed the case study stage of the interview process for any consulting firm.

And that's where they attacked by making sure Oxford recieved what they needed.
I respect your achievement, it's amazing.
But the way to Jimmy the system is to get to the lower institutions and make the fix there, so Oxford doesn't look like favoritism when she admitted

You realize 99% of Oxford graduates work at mundane jobs, right?

There's pretty much no elite.

I've got friends who work at economic consulting firms to friends who work as academics to friends who don't really seem to be doing that much with their lives.

I went as a mature student (21+).

Harris Manchester College, really, really great experience as someone who was over 21 when I went.

No other world-class university would accept someone who was over 21 when I went.

Baron is tall. Good for him. His parents are both tall, so it is not unexpected.

I will be more impressed if I learn that he is smart. That would indicate an ability to rise above genetics.

Trump's children are spectacular role models for every American child, no doubt about it. Then Biden comes along with his son Hunter, the smartest man Biden knows.

What an extraordinary contrast.


And don’t forget the lady who calls herself a DR , was once a babysitter and is a whore . This whole family is complete trash!
