Old men do look similar. As said, not similar enough to comment on it and they look nothing like each other when younger.

I feel uncomfortable about using a photo of someone grieving at their mother’s funeral to make a joke.

It's not a joke it's an observation. And they do look alike.

OP I thought the same when I saw it yesterday

Gossiping about someone grieving. Real classy

Yes that's Barron. I always think he looks like a softie. Not in a bad way. He just gives off gentle soul vibes ... not like his dad. He always looks so sad in every photo.

Could be completely wrong of course.

I saw a video of him watching as his dad and Elon were dancing to something he looked like he really didn’t want to be there 😂

Your username says it all.

Do you mean Melania? And no, they look nothing alike apart from sharing the same look of devadtated grief as they're at a funeral of a loved one

"Devastated grief"? Trump doesn't look devastated. That isn't a criticism, it's his MIL's funeral, not everyone would find that devastating. He looks appropriately solemn.

Her father looks devastated.

I think they look similar, but I don't think it's close enough that it's particularly noteworthy.

Absolutely disgusting that someone thinks it’s ok to gossip about someone at the person’s mother’s funeral. Shame on you OP.

Using a photo of people grieving at a funeral for cheap laughs on MN is not a good look op.

Thank you. I'm glad others agree. This post is in really poor taste

DiscoBeat · 11/01/2025 01:46

If that's her father next to her at her mother and his wife's funeral then it's odd they're not comforting each other. Their hands are awkwardly hanging just next to each other.

I agree, he looks like he's been sucked into something he wants no part of (don't mean the funeral), and he does give out gentle soul vibes. Hope he takes his father as an example of how not to be.
As for Trump and his FIL, I do see similarities! Maybe it's this particular photo but it's quite hilarious.

I really don’t think “hilarious” is a suitable word to be used like this at someone’s funeral! I’m pretty certain that neither Melania nor her father were finding this remotely funny.

Using that word about a grieving family says a lot about you and none of it good, so why don’t you just go and crawl back under the stone you came out from!

They don't look the same, but there are some similarities yes...

Maybe it's just the photo. He looks like he's plotting.

Is that the son at the back? He looks like a super villain.

You mean Melania? And no, they obviously look nothing alike.

You really started a thread to mock people's appearance at a funeral? Wow.

AuntieObnoxious · 10/01/2025 23:44

Omg they do look very alike. It’s like marrying your own father 🥴

crockofshite · 10/01/2025 23:29

Is that trump grieving?

I think it's a stretch to say that Trump has the capacity for an emotion like grief.

poemsandwine · 10/01/2025 23:21

One is more orange.

Melania.

Itsthattimeofyearagain · 10/01/2025 23:18

They look like two old men to me, which they are. Only 2 years apart I think. Ewww indeed.
