Barron, 14, Trump despite himself
Donald Trump's son is 14 years old, measures approximately six feet tall and made his return - virtual - to third grade in Maryland. Adolescent Survivor Update 2.0.
He is the last of the Trump clan. Donald Trump's last child. The only one, too, from his marriage to Melania Knauss. When his father was elected 45th President of the United States on November 9, 2016, he became, at age 10, the youngest boy since John John Kennedy to live within the walls of the White House. In other words, he has everything to become the darling of Americans, eager to be moved, if not for a president, for a "First Child". On the night of victory, the slogan “We are all Barron Trump” rings out as loving support for the son of “The Don” - in a fit of uncontrollable yawning on stage. Better still, the screening of a reality TV show at the White House, with a male Suri Cruise, satin bathrobe and rhinestone charentaise, almost makes the incredible Kardashian family tremble.
Social media martyr
Except that ... Very quickly, Barron Trump questions. His sudden "absences", his exaggerated blinking of the eyes or even his incomprehensible little gestures make him the ideal prey for tyrannical social networks. Two videos, one on which we see him naively playing with his 10-month-old nephew, Theodore (Ivanka Trump's third child), the other on which he visibly has difficulty doing a high five with his mother, notably stirred up taunts. Slips oblige (we are in the Trumpian era), American host Rosie O'Donnell spreads rumors of autism and an author of “Saturday Night Live” even imagines Barron as a maverick of a shooting at the House- White. So much so that the executive ended up banging his fist on the table, calling for the young man's privacy to be respected, and even Chelsea Clinton taking his defense on Twitter. Since then, nothing, except the t-shirt "The Expert" worn by Donald and Melania's son for his installation at the White House in 2017 (he had remained in New York until then), out of stock. stock in just a few hours.
The calm after the storm
Then in 2018, Melania herself took over, pulling the cover over her with worrying absences and ever more distant relationships with her husband. At the time, the arrival of Stormy Daniels in One of the tabloids was not for nothing in this media isolation, but it has the merit of finally letting the young Barron Trump grow up in the shadow of the blinding light. Indeed, the blond heir celebrates his 12, 13 and 14 years in the greatest discretion. No official photo on the steps of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (like Prince George at Kensington Palace), no sleepovers in the Oval Office. Barron joins his new class every year at St Andrews Episcopal College, located in Potomac, Maryland, without the traditional media coverage of presidents' children (which Malia and Sasha Obama were treated to). A scalded Trump fears cold water. After so much uproar around the slightest of his actions, Barron Trump ended up entering the ungrateful age without anyone noticing.
The age of all possibilities
In fact, only a few snapshots taken on the descent of Air Force One in Washington or towards Marine One in the garden of the White House show how much he has grown (he is now the size of his father. , namely 1.90 m), and how he swapped his model Trumpian wardrobe with that of a teenager of his time. Two years ago, he was sweating daddy's son, hair brushed in the wind, New Balance on his feet, beige chinos and white polo shirts.
Today, Barron turned misunderstood rebel, black satin teddy, black jeans, black sneakers and undercut. Someday, maybe, he'll even say all he has to heart in a heartbreaking interview with Oprah Winfrey, giving his parents the final blow. In the meantime, no one has yet publicly heard the voice of Melania's beloved son (otherwise bilingual in Slovenian). By extension, we never got the reality show we all dreamed of - secretly - at the White House.
