Eight years after his first stay in the White House, the son of Donald and Melania Trump remains an enigma in his own right.
Melania Trump sometimes calls him “mini-Donald”. Except for his impressive size, Barron Trump appears to be very different from his father. Less ostentatious, less self-confident, more solitary and, above all, much more reserved. Which would not prevent the young man from working hand in hand with the head of the state. The 18-year-old student was also on stage alongside Donald Trump when the latter won the US presidential election on Wednesday, November 6. Some even saw that a (rare) smile appeared on the young man’s face.
Strategic role

Behind the scenes, Barron Trump would play a strategic role with the Republican candidate. He would really help his father to understand “new media” and “to win the voice of youth”. Agreed Washington Post, Barron Trump is said to have advised the politician on which podcasts he should speak on in order to appeal to a younger audience, particularly that of Theo Von and Adin Ross. Support that the student showed even at the polling stations. On November 5, Melania Trump shared a photo of a student who was voting for the first time at that time. And of course, in favor of the father.
Tennis match
Americans thus see the emergence of a new Baron, more responsible and strategic. But also more aware of the political problems and the dangers threatening his father. During Donald Trump’s campaign, Barron would repeatedly worry about the leader’s health, showing a sense of anxiety. “He gives good advice,” assured Donald Trump during a meeting organized in North Carolina. “Dad. Relax, now, are you okay, dad, I don’t need much right now.” He takes care of me, he is very wise.”

Especially since the student suddenly discovered the July 13 assassination attempt against the candidate in Butler. “Baron was playing tennis with his friends when someone came up and rushed to him saying, ‘Hey! “Your father was shot,” Donald Trump said in an interview. Fox News. “Mom, mom, mom, what happened?” They saw that I got up, then I shook my fist.’
“Radical Change”
“Wiser” but perhaps more worried, Barron Trump will be better prepared in any case than in his younger days. Eight years ago, the little 10-year-old boy, a little awkward and shy, became the youngest son of a president since John F. Kennedy to live in the White House. A new beginning, synonymous with many upheavals.
In 2016, Donald Trump also stated that his son, who was then in school in New York, found the move “terrible”. A “radical change” that a little boy would understand anyway. “I told him that if his father wins the election, he will help people like him and children, and that makes him happy,” the candidate said at the time. He is a 9-year-old young boy, strong and intelligent, who understood something.
Before moving into the building, Melania Trump, who would be very “protected” towards her son, had to negotiate a financial agreement with her husband. At least that’s what Mary Jordan reveals in 2020 in her work The art of his deal. “He wanted written proof that when it comes to financial opportunities and inheritance, Barron will be treated the same as the three oldest Trump children,” he wrote. But here, despite all these precautions, Barron Trump’s first steps in the White House are turning out to be much more hectic than expected.

At official events, the boy’s exaggerated eye blinking, small, unintelligible gestures, and careless yawning make him the object of ridicule from netizens. Not to mention the videos that went viral during Donald Trump’s inauguration, which made the child the laughing stock of social media. We see him innocently playing with his 10-month-old nephew, Theodore, or not even 5 with his mother. In November 2016, American TV presenter Rosie O’Donnell even wondered if the boy might have a form of autism.
So much so that the White House had to intervene, calling to respect the young man’s private life. Incidents, as a result of which Baron Trump disappears from circulation. We barely see him occasionally on the White House lawn, with his perpetual thatch and his growing stature. At the age of 14, the teenager measures no less than 1.90 meters.
The look, however, is enough for one of the young man’s shirts, which was signed on J. Crew and emblazoned with “”.The expert”, ended up out of stock in 2017. Its absences, especially in 2019, at a dinner with Donald Trump and his children at Buckingham Palace or at a political meeting in Orlando, therefore did not go unnoticed.
New life
Meanwhile, Barron Trump is building himself away from the cameras. He briefly attended St. Andrews Episcopal College in Potomac, Maryland. Before entering high school at Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach. Institution, which he graduated in May. Over the years, the paparazzi managed to capture several pictures of the teenager. In 2021, he finds himself at the foot of Trump Tower, two heads taller than his mother. The next year we meet him again, growing taller, at Ivana Trump’s funeral.
And if the youngster seems to have found a new balance today, alongside his bodyguards, he returned to Stern School in New York in September, as evidenced by photos that have been revealed New York Post . Of course, the student “loves his classes and his teachers,” as Melania Trump explained on “The Five.” He wouldn’t be any less lonely.
Asked about his son’s love life, Donald Trump made the announcement on a recent podcast PBD: “I’m not sure if he’s still there. I don’t think he’s ever had a girlfriend.” Before adding: “He doesn’t mind being alone, but he’s a person who gets along well with people.” It remains to be seen whether the young man, now back in New York, will get used to his father’s new mandate. Or if he is content to watch his actions from his 2.06 meter height, and his (Trump) tower golden color
