Donald Trump's granddaughter a viral sensation in China
CNN ^ | 15 Nov 2016 | Serenitie Wang

She's just five years old but might just be Donald Trump's biggest diplomatic win in China.

A video of Trump's granddaughter Arabella Kushner reciting Chinese poetry is being shared across the country. During his bid for the US presidency, Trump had nothing but tough talk for Beijing. But the little girl's command of Mandarin is being interpreted by some as a hidden sign of Trump's affinity with the country.

"Trump's craziness and unreliability are just being deceptive," said Weibo user @Ananqiumao in one top rated post.

"Look at his children and family, each one is cuter and more adorable than one another. That's the result of family education. Trump is a man of achievement." "Feel like Trump would be more friendly to China," said user @caiairenweimian.

In the video, Arabella is wearing a red Chinese style ball gown standing on a table. Other traditional Chinese elements -- the Chinese character for happiness, lanterns and Monkey stickers -- are visible in the background.

"Arabella wanted to have a pre-bedtime #ChineseNewYear party this past Sunday evening," Trump's daughter Ivanka wrote in the post earlier this year. "She got all dressed up and performed songs and poems for Jared, Joseph and me."

Ivanka told the South China Morning Post magazine four years ago that her daughter was studying Mandarin from a Chinese nanny. She added that she was also learning the language and she could "pretty much name every animal in the zoo."

So I typed her name into Google to see picture of her. First picture has “Down Syndrome,” as caption. Leftists are hateful and evil.

I'm more appreciative of this quote:
That's the result of family education. Trump is a man of achievement.

Yeah and they’re saying Barron is autistic based on his dazed and sleepy appearance at 3am on election night (which I found frickin’ adorable).

Losers.

Me too!

I just thought of how lots of folks on both sides are harping about him not being a politician. Look where politicians have gotten us....give me a business man ANYDAY! We’ve all got character flaws and I think Trump’s travels and rallies showed him that he loves the soul of the Americans who are in the heartland and have Christian values. That, any country can work with!!! China is a perfect example. High conversion rates and the govt. notices that people are easier to work with...

Trump never said he don’t like China. in fact, he respect them. Trump is just angry at our own leaders for being stupid

Aspergers maybe but not autistic. Many highly intelligent/gifted kids live within the autism spectrum. But people treat the kid like he is 16. He’s a child.

Liberal caterwauling about the little girl’s “cultural appropriation “ of Chinese clothing in 3, 2, 1,...

He has definitely displayed some symptoms on the austism scale...but then again..he is a young kind in a huge body..that could account for some of it.

Trump spaced out his vaccinations because of the vaccine-austism worry

Baron was tired at 3AM. What other 11 year old wouldn’t be?

>>Yeah and they’re saying Barron is...

The architectural/Marxist/pseudo-intellectual poodle overlords strategy of “competing” has always relied heavily upon subverting the self-evident natural superiority of those they consistently fail to outperform.

Same Ol’

In the end, Nature will rule - one way or the other. Just ask Korah, the Pharaoh’s treasurer, about that.

Hopefully King Trumpechadnezzar will exemplify the leadership required for the Republic to emerge from of the wilderness... and be reconciled.

Yes, I was stunned when the family walked out. He is about level with Trump’s shoulder! Trump is 6’2” I have heard, so that puts makes Barron taller than I am at 5’6”. My husband is 6’4”, and our son, who just turned 8 yesterday, is only 4’6” and he’s the tallest boy in his class. I can’t imagine he would grow 6” a year for the next 2 years, no matter how much he eats (which is a LOT already, and no junk food even! lol).

Anyhoo...yeah Barron is just a little kid, 10 years old. So it is going to seem weird when this yuuuge teenage looking person acts his actual age.
