The school attended by President Donald Trumps youngest son has signed an open letter calling on his father and Congress to do more to tackle the epidemic of gun violence and to prevent the arming of teachers with firearms.
St. Andrews Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, which Barron Trump began attending last fall, is one of more than 100 schools in the Greater Washington, D.C., and Maryland area whose heads signed the letter published in The Baltimore Sun Wednesday.
We urge our president, our Congress, and our state leaders to enact specific, rigorous measures to reduce gun violence in our society, particularly in our schools, read the letter, which was signed by St. Andrews Episcopal School head Robert Kosasky.
We need a robust system of registration and background checks, with a particular eye toward weapons capable of rapidly firing a vast number of deadly shots. We need stronger mental health services and more effective communication among agencies responsible for the well-being of children, adults and families. What we do not need is to arm our teachers with guns, which is dangerous and antithetical to our profession as educators.

OP
I know, he does look very sad. I think he probably knows what a complete asshole his father is

Suit jacket and shirt are too big, he needs a haircut, looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.

I've never seen a happy looking face on this child.

and how badly he treats his mother. Also, it's pretty clear that Trump doesn't give a damn about the kid and has no idea how to relate to him. The best thing Melania could do would be to leave Trump, get as much money as she can, move far away and raise Barron the way Tiffany was raised - with minimal contact with his father. Only then will he have a chance at a relatively normal life.

I wonder if Melania had a thing going with a good-looking pool boy?
