Apparently someone wrote a script about Barron Trump trying to sabotage his father's 2016 campaign. Seems like the movie would have to show Barron's efforts backfiring. The whole thing was one big backfire. The DNC wanted Trump as the Republican nominee. They called on the press to take him seriously because they thought he was the only one Hillary Clinton could possibly beat, and they kept thinking this even as he effortlessly crushed each of his Republican rivals.
No one will produce the script though.
When I was in grade school, we had one of those reading books. It had a story in it about some backward mountain people who look at their newborn baby.
He's such a li'l bit, said the mother.
Why, that's a great name for him! said the father. We'll name him Lil Bit!
Lil Bit continues to be small for his age. He is mocked and ridiculed until one day, his school bus crashes into a ravine and he's the only small enough to crawl out a window and run for help.
It was part of a whole genre of children's stories where a kid is mocked for some attribute which ends up saving everyone.
In reality, there's a child actor somewhere being beaten up at school and rejected for role after role because he looks like Barron Trump. This movie could be his salvation. Like Lil Bit crawling out of the overturned school bus, his resemblance to Barron Trump could turn him from an outcast into a big man.
And it could be Barron Trump's salvation. He's cute now even as an abnormally tall 13-year-old, but you know he'll turn out just like his brothers, Uday and Qusay. A movie like this could change that.
Is it worth millions of dollars making a movie on the off chance that it will make Barron Trump a non-monster? No, of course not.
I had a family member, an avid Democrat, who had a morbid hatred for Jimmy Carter's children. I think she hated 10-year-old Amy more than Chip. She was pissed off that Amy hugged her father when he was elected. She also hated Stevie Wonder because he had once been billed as "Little Stevie Wonder". But she was defensive about Chelsea Clinton, the horrible parasite who disrupted anti-war events as a student in England. Now she's married to a billionaire.
Another family member was enraged watching outtakes of the Olsen Twins. "THEY'RE BRATS!" she said because one of them had to do a retake.
I told her that all actors flub lines. One of the Olson twins smiled faintly for a second or two which I took to be a sign of slight embarrassment, but this family member said, "LOOK! SHE THINKS IT'S FUNNY!"
