Barron Trump, soon 15 years in Mar-a-Lago: what Donald and Melania had not planned
While Barron Trump could be enrolled in a private school in Mar-a-Lago, Melania and Donald Trump will have to change their habits. They will have to hang out with a few parents, and why not organize a birthday party for their son.
On March 20, Barron Trump will blow out his fifteenth candle. And it is far from the White House, which his father had occupied since 2017, that Melania's only son will celebrate the event. Like any teenager? In order to facilitate the integration of their boy so discreet and so protected, his parents will have to forge links with other parents. No small feat, as the New York Times reveals: even before their installation in Mar-a-Lago, their private club in Palm Beach, the outgoing president of the United States and the ex-First lady have turned their backs on each other. neighbors. We even greeted them with a very unfriendly banner.
New life for the former presidential couple, but also for their son. Barron is expected to join a private school in Palm Beach in the coming days, his mother Melania prospecting for the best establishments in the fall. A change of school that will force Donald Trump, who has kept a low profile since his little regretted departure from the White House, to make changes in his life himself. A more assiduous frequentation of the other inhabitants of Palm Beach, in particular, seems inevitable. “He never leaves his enclave,” Jeff Greene, a city real estate investor and former Mar-a-Lago member, told The New York Times. "He goes to the golf club and returns home," continues this relative. A schedule today compromised by the importance of the social fabric in Palm Beach.
"Palm Beach has its own social codes," a source told The New York Times. And to confirm: "Donald Trump has never tried to take part in this social life and I do not see him making efforts to change the situation. Maybe having a child in school will force him to do so. . " Not to mention that the Trump empire in deficit will be in great need of support in the coming months.
An isolated family
Already battered by their neighbors, the Trumps have always preferred the luxury and comfort of Mar-a-Lago in the heart of Palm Beach. "Isolation has always prevented Trumps from fully establishing themselves in the city's social life," Carey O'Donnell, head of a marketing and public relations agency, continues to the New York Times.
Neither the designer boutiques on Worth Avenue, nor the renowned restaurant La Goulue have received a visit from the couple in the past twenty years. True that until now, Donald, Melania and Barron were only spending vacations in Mar-a-Lago, a historic home bought by the magnate in the early 90s. By deciding to invest the place in the long term, they will be forced to s 'integrate and make some effort if they want to be accepted.
