Exactly.
Growing up as Army Brats who moved every 2-3 years, my children had a different normal than children who spent their entire lives in the same house
Huge security footprint. Trump Tower is visible from a large number of surrounding high rise buildings. It would be much easier for USSS to manage the WH footprint alone, with Barron attending Sidwell Friends.
smart and strong mother
well done !
Why expose Barron the the Obama trash at Sidwell friends?
I hope its just until June and school lets out. The President and his family need to live in the Whitehouse. There are plenty of good private schools.
Melania is a very hands on mother. She did not have nannies for Barron, she raised her own child. They certainly could have afforded all of the help any mom could want.
I watched the interview that Harvey Levin did with Trump. They showed several still shots of Baron looking happy and smiling with his Mother. It was in direct contrast to how he looks now when he’s in public.
I don’t mean to offend by making the observation that this youngster looks overwhelmed by what is happening in his and his family’s life.
i’m sure Trump has considered all of this.
yep, “A source close to the transition campaign” could be the dude emptying out the wastebaskets...
LibTurds and MSN to make up Fabricated Scandal Tales about.
I noticed his lack of smiling also——a tad unusual,IMHO.
.
He would have been the first son living in the White House since JFK jr.
Yes, lots of kids go through multiple moves. However, not many have to endure the kind of hatred and abuse Barron is likely to face in a new school.
She'll have to wait for the disaster recovery, and fumigation crews to complete their jobs. When I posted this comment a few days ago, some freeper added an exorcist to the recovery team.
So...because your normal was a military “brat” whose family moved every 2-3 years. Well...good for you and it worked out. That was your “normal”...it was all you were used to..
I know kids that grew up in that environment - some turned out incredibly well...some not so much.
Here’s the rub - your “normal” is not the normal for the Trump family. They don’t move every 2-3 years.
I suggest you treasure your experiences...and let the Trump family decide on what’s best for them. Period.
Someone’s gotta do it.
Roger that. I can fully associate with your experience. I went to Guam when I was 3 months old. Way back in ‘47! Yikes. Lucky for me the population hadn’t grown to near the ‘tipping point’ at that time. Shortest time at one location was a year. Longest 4 years. Dad was a career Naval officer. He swore me in to the Navy when I was 20. I only did one hitch (4 different ships in one tour?). But, having traveled so much gave me a pretty good world view. You are correct that you learn a lot about different cultures and ways which most kids today have no idea about. I turned out ok. Well, at least I think so. Others, not so much. LOL!
It’s my belief that Barron has special needs that we aren’t privy to. They are making this decision based on what is best for their child. As they should.
Perhaps there are other medical/emotional issues with Barron that are well... none of our business. I suspected as much when I saw him at the GOP convention.
This could be the reason he’s not coming to Washington.
And frankly, they way the enemy is acting these days, having the family in Washington may be a security risk for now.
Agree. I grew up as an Army brat and moved & changed schools a number of times. He can go to St. Albans or another private academy not named Sidwell and make new friends. Or go to D.C. public schools or military school as did his father, although I don’t think Melania would permit it. Bottom line: They need to live in the WH as a family.
