Does you heard rumor that youngest son (Barron Trump) of American President Donald Trump is autistic?
I read that in of our Polish political journal,
apparently some American media report that the youngest son of President Trump is autistic, but I do not know how much truth is in it

yes

and i don't see why it matters, even if it was true it doesn't make his dad any more charismatic or relatable by association.

To sum up what I said when this first came out. Trump’s son is 11 years old. He has enough problems being the son of a President and particularly the son of this President without people publically speculating he has a condition that is stigmatized. Kids lives should be private.

Agree
It is not the kid's fault that his dad is the president of a superpower :D

Poor kid. It doesn't matter what your opinion of Trump is (and he is the consummate idiot president), the rest of his family should be left out of political matters.

One does wonder about the lad's father's rather "Rigid" ideas in the face of reason.

He acts bored, and fidgets when the grown ups give speeches? Even grownups do that. That's it?
The sole evidence that he is "autistic"? :lol:

There is more evidence that he is a time traveler than there is that he is autistic!
