Barron Trump to be delegate at RNC (update: no he isn't)

[Kamala's side hoe]

I think honestly he would be Trump's preferred "successor" if Barron wasn't another 17 years from being able to run for Prez. His other kids seem mostly politically inept, especially Don Jr. This is mostly "vibes" but none of them really match to Trump's undeniable charisma. Trump is a very skilled bullsh*tter, while Don Jr., Eric, etc... aren't.

Despite literally just being 18 something strikes me as different about him.

Barron is a clean slate. I don't think I've ever even heard him talk. He has baggage, never gone on the record on policy, isn't on social media (at least publicly). He really can morph himself into whatever he wants. He could turn out to be a carbon copy of his father or he could be a decent, dignified, pragmatic statesman. He already has the last name so that gives him carte blanche for pretty much anything he wants in GOP circles. I can see a viable political future for him

Virtualearth Inc. CEO Barron Trump is now officially the world’s richest man, according to the Forbes World Billionaires List. His current net worth clocks in at $825.6 billion, which exceeds that of the previous record-holder, Alibaba founder Jack Ma, who has a net worth of $820.3 billion.

Trump, 33, acknowledged his newfound status on Twitter, saying “Great news. Now let’s keep on making the world a better place.”

Trump’s newfound status is an auspicious sign for his Sacramento, California-based virtual reality behemoth, of with Trump owns a 20 percent stake. The news comes only a few months after Virtualearth achieved the 3 billion global users milestone, across both conventional and brain-integrated platforms. The VR network boasts more than 1 billion users in India alone, 350 million users in China and 264 million users in the United States. It has a market capitalization of $1523 billion as of December 2039; as such, Virtualearth is the 4th largest publicly-traded corporation in the United States and the 17th largest in the world.

It is hard to imagine a life before Virtualearth and other virtual reality networks. Before, social media was mainly restricted to one-dimensional Internet posts. Now, friends and family on opposite sides of the planet can practically talk to each other in person. I can experience my friends’ vacation as if I traveled there myself and present to audiences of thousands without leaving my house. Millions of users spend billions of dollars through Virtualshop, play VR games with Virtualplay, and even enjoy virtual pornography with Virtualearth After Dark. And its influence, virtual and real, continues to grow; Virtualearth has been a prominent player in the VR device market since acquiring Oculus from Facebook in 2038 and operates a joint fiber-optics venture with Verizon Inc., whose board of directors include Trump as a member.

Unlike most Silicon Valley executives, Trump is not a man new to wealth; as the youngest son of the late president Donald Trump, he started Virtualearth with a $125 million contribution from his billionaire father. “I’ll admit, it’s not exactly what you call a ‘small loan,’” the younger Trump said in an April 2039 interview, referencing how the elder Trump himself started his business empire with a “small loan” of $1 million from his own father, real estate developer Fred Trump.

“My father used to say,” Trump said in his commencement address to the University of Pennsylvania class of 2038, “He is so good with these computers! He’s great with the cyber!’ He always told me that. And so I agreed and ran with the idea.”

With that $125 million, Trump was able to found Virtualearth in 2025, when he was still a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania. While virtual reality social networks were emerging at that time, it was Trump who, with his money, was able to acquire the necessary infrastructure, particularly the central servers, that would lead to Virtualearth dominating the market over its potential competitors.

Trump, who is fluent in English and Slovene, has often distanced himself from his father; for example, he is an unapologetic proponent of globalization and multiculturalism, a stark contrast to the elder Trump’s isolationist and nationalist worldview. In his April interview, Trump said that “my dad wanted to build a wall between America and Mexico. So I built a bridge instead. Now you and me here in New York can have a coffee chat with someone in Mexico City without leaving our rooms.”

Trump is an active philanthropist. To date, he has donated $10 billion to the Barron Trump Initiatives foundation, which Trump founded in order to develop Internet infrastructure and renewable energy for developing countries, along with helping them with adapting to the effects of climate change. He is also involved in politics, and was a strong supporter of Crystal Sun’s campaign during the 2036 presidential race.

That is not to say that Trump or Virtualearth is free from controversy. In 2038, five prominent Indian politicians were accused of accepting bribes from Virtualearth, though the company denies it; all were eventually acquitted. Likewise, Virtualearth has come under fire for accepting Chinese censorship requirements; regularly, Great Firewall bots censor posts for Chinese users.

However, any such controversy must be put into the context of Virtualearth’s remarkable success. It is rare that an entirely new form of communication is invented, but when that happens, the whole world turns upside down. As Trump implies, the fact that he’s now the world’s richest man is just an asterisk to his bigger accomplishment to changing the world, and this accomplishment is simply a hint of the shape of things to come.
