Where is Barron Trump ?: his absence does not go unnoticed on social networks
The Trumps' youngest son has not been seen since before Christmas. During his father's farewell to Washington, Barron, 14, was not present. In social networks, his absence does not go unnoticed.
Where is Barron? That was the question thousands of Americans asked when former President Donald Trump last left the White House on January 20 before taking off from Andrews Air Force Base for Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
The then president and his wife Melania walked alone to the helicopter that would take them to Air Force One while on social networks many wondered why they were not seen with their 14-year-old son Barron, the only of the former president's children who lived four years in the presidential residence.
Upon arriving at the air base, Trump gave a short speech and took his wife Melania and all of his older children onto the presidential plane that they would board for the last time. Behind him came Ivanka, Tiffany, Donald Junior and Eric, some of them with their partners and children. But Barron was not seen. By then social media was flooded with the same question, where is Barron?
The answer can be as simple as that his mother, protective like almost all mothers, did not allow him to be seen in public either on that day or in the weeks before his father left Washington. Barron - who came to the White House aged 10 - was also not seen in the Trumps' Christmas card photo or in most of the December events late last year.
His mother's decision to keep him off the radar of the media is understandable. Since the day his father won the Presidency in 2016, the boy has been the target of ridicule and bullying.
That day, when it was three in the morning and the celebration of his parents continued after the defeat of Hillary Clinton, a photo of the minor, visibly tired and bored, went viral, and the frustration of those who did not want Trump as president was overturned against the only son he shares with Melania. The minor was called the "antichrist", the face of evil and there was even speculation about his mental health and the possibility that he was an autistic child.
The bullying was so serious that Chelsea Clinton, the only daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton and who also spent part of her childhood in the White House and under the camera's magnifying glass, came to her defense. Despite being her mother defeated by Trump, Chelsea demanded respect and privacy for the new tenant of the presidential residence.
“It is time for the media and everyone to leave Barron alone. Let him have the childhood and privacy that he deserves, "said Clinton in one of her trills, and Melania thanked him with another saying:" Thank you Chelsea, it is very important to support all children to be themselves. " . Since then, Melania - who claimed to be the biggest victim of online bullying in history - has dedicated her time in the White House to fighting bulling, especially online.
Donald Trump resumed his life as a common citizen at Mar-a-Lago, his luxurious golf club in Florida, away from the center of attention that was focused on the swearing-in of Joe Biden as the new president of the United States. Although Barron has not yet been seen, it is known that he will live with his parents in Florida and attend a luxurious college in that state.
