Some of the murmurs have a basis in truth.
But some ofthe claims about Barron are just bizarre, offensive, or altogether bogus.
Because these behaviors are sometimes associated with autism, rumors began to spread about Barron being neurodivergent.
One YouTube video in particular became viral after Rosie O’Donnell reposted it on X (then Twitter).
As good as O’Donnell’s intentions may have been, the then-first family didn’t see it that way.
The attorneys flatly denied the autism claim, saying Barron’s behavior was typical of a boy his age.
He mastered speaking Slovenian, French, Italian, and German.
He is also a legendary chess [master] extraordinaire."
But a little basic fact-checking debunks all this.
As for the widely circulated chess story?
The article also claimed Donald Trump was himself a skilled chess player who studied under the great Bobby Fischer.
The theory was bolstered by some other online users with far too much time on their hands.
All this, say the believers, helps prove Barron or his father are time travelers.
We won’t venture to untangle the absurdity of it all.
More than two decades also separate him from Ivanka and Eric Trump.
Even half-sister Tiffany Trump, closest to him in age, was a teen when he was born.
For that reason, there have been rumors their relationship with their younger half-bro is distant.
But the gossip is just that idle talk.
She even called him “the baby whisperer.”
Tiffany, too, has praised her younger sib publicly.
