Uh oh… Looks like Michael Wolff hit a nerve with the orange utan there.

    Elsewhere in the podcast, Wolff also claimed that he started the rumor that the reason why Trump was targeting Harvard was because his youngest son, Barron, applied and didn’t get in — a claim that first lady Melania Trump has denied.

    “That nugget comes from me,” Wolff said. “That exists because I reported that that was the joke within the White House.”

    He added, “I actually don’t know if there’s any truth in this, which there very well might be, but within the White House that became the joke… Because they were like, ‘What is he doing? This is crazy stuff. Why would this be happening?’ and then they tell the Barron joke.”

    Trolling masterclass.

    Stop badmouthing orangutans. They’re intelligent and empathetic creatures.

    God that picture of Barron in the article. What fucking teenager goes into a hairstylist and says, “give me the Gordon gecko”?

      I hate the Trumps as much as the next guy, but I specifically refrain from dumping on Barron Trump, and you should too: the kid hasn’t yet said or done anything that indicates he’s going to become a dirtbag like his father or his retarted siblings, and he might very well choose to decide to distance himself from his terrible family.

      Same reason why I don’t dump on the Musk kids: at least one of them is decent, and the others might become good people too and they deserve a chance.

      Give Barron Trump a chance too.
