Barron Trump came “home” for Thanksgiving, although it’s hard to say that Mar-a-Lago is home for him. It’s always been a structure of pure Donaldry, etched in the fake gold leaf of pretentiousness. Barron, like his mother, is far more likely to see New York as his home, since he, you know, lives there. He goes to school there. His mom lives there. He was born in Manhattan.
He was spotted Saturday night having dinner with Donald and Melania at the Southern White House by none other than “life coach” and “wellness alchemist” Karina Safarova Rudeva, a Russian influencer who spends a lot of time hanging around Donald Trump.
I wonder why.

Rudeva posted a number of videos to her Instagram story of the family eating with Barron’s grandfather also in attendance. The young man is visiting from NYU’s Stern School of Business, where he’ll return after Thanksgiving. Barron should be back in Florida one more time before his dad’s inaugurated, right around mid-December in time for Christmas.
The video was reposted to X by “FLOTUS Report,” an account that exclusively follows Melania:

Interestingly, Melania appears to be exercising her standard distance from her husband — as far away as possible. If he leaned over to the right as far as possible, he wouldn’t have been able to even touch her pinky finger.
That always throws me off personally, because I sit on the same side of a booth with my girl when we go out for dinner and nobody’s even with us. I can’t help but wonder what the point of their marriage is, if neither of them cares enough to even hold hands like Junior does with that woman he’s cheating on Kim [5] with.
Then again, I’m never going to understand the mindset of that kind of person. I am literally never going to be photographed stepping off a plane with an entourage, or at least I hope I’m not.
The strangest part of all is just how much contact Trump seems to have with “important” Russian people. You’d think after he was caught colluding with Russia in 2016, he’d try to distance himself the way Melania does from him.
