I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his last name is Trump, so the odds of him being a cesspool of a human being are astronomically high.

Maybe they’re onto something. What if, instead of voting for people based on their ideals and record, we just passed leadership down through bloodline? Has anyone tried that before?

My daughter goes to NYU although she isn't in the business school which probably has more conservative assholes than she encounters in her line of study. She says everybody around her thinks it's weird and basically debate how much shit to give him should they cross his path.

From what I gather, there are two camps.

Camp A thinks he's a trump therefore they'll call him a fucking Nazi to his face if given the chance.

Camp B thinks he's not responsible for his father's actions but he hasn't done anything to distance himself from them so they'll call him a fucking Nazi to his face if given the chance too

It's a very nuanced debate, I don't know which side I would support.

This is shit journalism. Yeah, his name is Trump so he's probably an asshole, but he's living his life, which has no impact on your life or mine. He's a private citizen, and his alleged assholery is not a public matter.

I wouldn't expect the son of a sociopath to be terribly well-adjusted.

"He's a guy you can have drinks with".... Uh no? He's 18. You cannot have drinks with him unless your a piece of tra... Well that guy can, but that's more like peer pressuring someone you really out age

"The douche doesn't fall far from the bag."

On campus, nobody really knows what’s up with that guy, other than that he’s not like any of the other students. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” says Kaya Walker, the president of the NYU Republicans. “He goes to class, he goes home.”

That seems like a pretty kind assessment for what must be a super weird experience for everyone else on campus. A constant Secret Service presence seems like it must disrupt the other students’ lives, as well as the professors at the school. In fact, Walker quoted one of her own professors as saying “he doesn’t really belong here.”

Weird, is something most people can be called, I'm more concerned with the other linked article in the story, citing a former behavioral specialist of barron's recounting stories of animal, physical, and sexual abuse...

Poor kid, he's only 18 still, that's gotta be a really tough way to grow up.

I love the fact that it's turning out that he's just like his brothers and fathers--empty.

The non-existent value of weirdly comparing his profile to a Greek statue aside, it's not even a good comparison. He has a way more prominent nasal ridge, a higher, more angled and sharp jawline, lower cheek bones, and a much flatter brow/forehead. What exactly is meant to look similar here except that they are both white guys?

From the article:

Of course he’s famous and sought-after — he’s a Trump. People would book Eric as a clown at their kid’s birthday party if he wasn’t so afraid of being his true self. Everyone wants to be close to a famous person, and people who want to curry favor with Donald Trump will say any manner of sweet nothings about his children.

ETA: although I chuckled at the above statement, this author is biased as shit. All his articles are nothing but Reddit-style fan service and exhaustively regurgitated comments. He even perpetuates the couch fucker lie in other articles. Everything reads like he's trying to make the best joke in order to get his karma numbers up.

Even though I lean left, I wouldn't trust anything this guy has to say and would do extra research before I took it seriously.
