Barron is getting tall.

He needs to borrow some of his dad's extra long ties.

Expressionless again
He is most likely autistic (in my opinion.)
Such opinions are neither appropriate nor needed in this forum.
There's nothing inappropriate at all about that opinion.

Even if Barron is autistic (and I'm not say he is) - what does it matter in the least? He is a young man growing up under a magnifying glass. Let him be a kid.

I was responding to the statement that he was expressionless with my opinion of a plausible reason. I quite possibly have more concern and compassion for him than his own father does.

Nothing said on this forum will affect that process in the slightest.

Having trump as a father, Melania as a mother, that crowd of stepbrothers and stepsisters, AND being the son of a President of the United States however... miley-signs003:

It was easy enough to look at previous Presidentially pardoned turkeys... There aren't many photos online prior to Reagan, but all the ones since are white. There's a couple shots I was able to quickly find of Truman with a more traditionally "pilgrim colored" turkey... but some aesthete at some point probably thought it was more decorous to have a white turkey at the White House.

Aren’t the vast majority of commercially raised turkeys white?

yes

As an editor once discovered when he requested a photo of a turkey for the paper. He freaked when we came back with a big white bird, and thousands more like it in the background.

There is plenty of evidence pointing at old, mutant sperm as a strong contributor to autism. Not fake news.

I have seen nothing so far that he is being a “kid”. No throwing a ball, riding a bike or dressing like a “kid” and no expression of his surroundings.

I'm with Ombligo on this. His parents are doing a good job keeping him out of the public eye, there is no reason we need to see him just being a kid, that's his private life. The lessons of Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton were very well learned by the Bushes, the Obamas, and now by the Trumps. All did a very good job protecting their kids from the harsh public spotlight and obsessive, invasive scrutiny by the media into the private lives of public people. Children should be off limits.
