A tweet by Ivanka Trump @ivankatrump saying “I cannot believe that Theodore is eight months old today! Happy birthday little teddy bear!” with an admittedly cute picture of a child smiling. It has a reply from @blacknmild saying “this isn’t how birthdays work”

    I think it’s rather common around me to throw a tiny celebration each months on the first year. A treat and a small message to the family never hurts 🤷

    Plus, 8 months is super round, it’s a power of two and 2/3 of a year ☝️🤓

      I don’t like picking on young kids no matter who their parents are. That kid has a chance to break the cycle like any of us do.

        “now remember, you have a chance to go against your family, be disowned, lose all your possessions and shortcuts in life, but do something positive in life”

        “I’ll weigh my options and give it some consideration”

        and other hilarious jokes you can tell yourself

        You’re missing my point. I would rather they’d not have bred. I’m not saying to harm or judge the kids as babies…

        I sense you’re one of those people who argues with people who prefer not to have children, telling them they’re lacking any purpose in life because they didn’t breed. Hope that’s wrong but this comment gives off similar vibes.

        Edit: looks like the downvoters are exactly the type I described

          Yeah and let’s note that he’s clearly been on HGH, gender affirming care, since he was a teen.

          You can literally ask any AI if being 6’7" at his age (or any of his heights/ages following the years where they started HGH) is normal, and it will voluntarily tell you while it can possibly be normal, in general no, it’s a sign of excess growth hormone and the person should be screened for acromegaly or Marfan’s. Per Trump, Barron has no diseases (yes, he’s been asked about this before because his son is so tall), he is just that tall.

          If Barron was as many standard deviations short as he is tall, he’d be 4’7".

          He was not only given HGH, but so much of it that it potentially risks his heart and could be part of why he has alleged mental/brain issues.

          Every fucking accusation is a confession with Trump - can’t give trans kids puberty blockers, that’s abuse, but you can accelerate their aging with excess HGH ig

            This seems… Is there any actual evidence for this, or is this just kinda a wishful conspiracy? Because I’m all for calling out their hypocrisy, but not only does this family have a history of lying about their height, tall people… exist. Approaching your full height at 19 isn’t exactly uncommon.

            (Ask an AI? Am I being wooshed?)

              The “evidence” here is pretty sketchy, but I believe it, for two reasons.

              1. It’s extremely on brand for a Trump to do this. Decrying [X] publicly while getting it for yourself is basically all he has ever done. Look to the covid vaccines for a convenient example. In addition, Trump thinks being tall = being important (just look at the six inch lifts he wears in his shoes) and I have no problem at all believing that he doped up his son with a bunch of drugs to try and turn him into some kind of superhuman.

              2. They’ve been making up stories about everyone else for their entire lives. So even if this one is completely made up, what does it matter? What goes around comes around. They’re lucky it’s something as relatively legal and safe as HGH. If we were really going tit for tat on Trump misinformation, we should have mainstream media telling everyone that Barron Trump was raised on an IV drip feed of stem cells, crack cocaine and blended up white babies. That would be closer to actually tasting some of their own medicine.

              Alas(?) lefties don’t really want to play that game. They generally find misinformation to be distasteful. Which I don’t blame anyone for. I’m just tired of one “team” being bound by rules and one “team” just doing whatever the fuck they want constantly with zero oversight. If we aren’t going to implement oversight then we’ll both end up in the mud together.

                Alt right: “There’s a secret video of Hilary Clinton ripping a child’s face off as part of a sex ritual!”

                Leftist: “There’s probably a video of Donald Trump getting pissed on by Russian prostitutes.”

                Centrists: “Both sides are the same!”

              Read what I said again - if he was as many standard deviations short as he is tall, he’d be 4’7". It is an ANOMALOUS height difference by a LOT. He is indeed that height when you look at him next to his family. Earliest reports of him being 6’7" is in 2021 when he was 15… thats extremely unusual. Have you EVER met a 15 year old at or over 6’7"?? And he could be much taller these days, they havent disclosed any kind of accurate height. It’s so anomalous that Michael Rappaport calls him “Big Body Trump.”

              There’s nothing to say he is at his full height yet. And also, the anomalous height stuff started around 12 for him (he was relatively average height before that - v unusual). Also, being on whatever hormones, it’ll take longer for his long bones to finish growing/growth plates to harden, he will continue to grow in his 20s past when everyone else stops. My genuine guess is that he will be near or over 7ft tall by 25 and stop growing then. He will likely have permanent, lifelong heart issues from this.

              It’s so obvious that it’s growth hormone (exogenous or endogenous), that even AI can detect it.

                Yes. Plus I asked an AI and they said this is just an absurd conspiracy theory (of such tenuous feasibility that the flat earthers all enthusiastically started supporting it), so I’m pretty sure thats conclusive.

                My genuine guess

                Is this performance art? Am I being whooshed right now?

                No seriously, you think its more likely they’re giving him growth hormones to make him taller vs. he’s got tall parents and he is himself tall? Or that they’re lying about him having a growth disorder?

                Attack them for the thousands of legit reasons we already have, you don’t need to make stuff up to justify it.

                  I specifically said to ask AI if it’s normal for a 15 year old to be 6’7", or a 18 year old to be 6’9". Go ahead.

                  Flat earthers are overwhelmingly MAGA types? They wouldnt like this idea, which is based in literal evidence you can see. Can’t hide doping.

                  Yes, since it isn’t the future and we dint know Barron’s height at 25, since he isnt 25, I have to GUESS what height he will be, as done anyone. You’re genuinely very dumb, huh?

                  Yes, if you understood what a standard deviation was, you’d understand that his height difference is significant even with tall parents. Again, so much so it is MEDICALLY RELEVANT and can INDICATE A BRAIN TUMOR (acromegaly). They know it’s not a brain tumor because they’ve been dosing him.

                  Yes, I think Trump and Melania lie. Lol.

    Maybe due to all of the accomplishments of the Cheeto king’s administration life expectancy will be measured in months to hide the fact that our collective life expectancy has been drastically reduced. When you got studies coming out saying that the poorest European lives about as long as the richest American, well you know you got a problem.

        Confidence will get you very far in many fields. Unfortunately, more intelligent people are aware there are things they do not know and rarely have the confidence levels comparable to that of a dimwit.

      Yeah, we took photos of the kids in the same chair each month in the first year. It wasn’t like we had parties, but this is normal new baby stuff. Plenty of legitimate reasons to hate the Trumps. Dogpiling on them for shit like this is petty and reinforces the right-wing narrative that the attacks are personal.
