How Donald Trump refers to his son is very funny and very, very weird

Here’s Donald Trump launching a drive against vaping in the US which he reveals he was prompted to do by the concerns of his wife, Melania.

But that’s not entirely why we’re here. The reason we’re here is the bit where he refers to his son, Barron, who Melania was concerned about.

Just, well, here it is.

everyone: my son

And just in case you’re after some wider context just to make sure you heard it right.

Trump indicates that his drive against vaping came at the behest of Melania. He then describes his son Barron in a very odd way.

"That's how the First Lady involved. She's got a son — together — that's a beautiful young man, & she feels very very strongly about it." pic.twitter.com/s5wNzUCSmj

It’s the way he says ‘together’ that makes it extra special. She’s even sat next to him as he says it.

Trump on Tiffany: "She studies so hard. She's a great student. And she's just a great — she's a great person. So I look forward to talking to her."

Trump on Barron and Melania today: "She's got a son — together — that's a beautiful young man."

These are his OWN kids btw.

This is how Donald Trump just described his own son, Barron, while sitting next to his wife: "She's got a son – together- that is a beautiful young man." pic.twitter.com/fFcuRSNvZB

Trump on his son, as the White House transcript puts it: "And that's how the First Lady got involved. I mean, she's got a son — together — that is a beautiful, young man, and she feels very, very strongly about it. She's seen it."

Trump in the Oval Office sounds disordered & rambling. Trying to land a first strike on Bolton. Repeating everything. On vaping:
"That's how the First Lady got involved." She's got a son…together that is a..a..beautiful young man & she feels very strongly about it."

No words.

I’ll miss mango pods but at least we got the clip of Trump describing his son as “Melania has a boy…we…together…started a kid, at some point-from which he’s now, her son, also mine, to the extent that he’s from the two of us creating him”
