Fact-checking - Did Barron Trump really live in the White House?
Would the so discreet Barron Trump have lived elsewhere than in the White House during his father's tenure? It is a rumor which is tenacious and which is today denied by members of Donald Trump's staff. The 14-year-old boy was simply protected by his parents.
Barron Trump is the victim of a persistent rumor and as Donald Trump prepares to hand over his functions to Joe Biden, the new President of the United States, it is time to find out if it was true or false! The 14-year-old boy is very discreet, so discreet that several people assure him that he never lived in the White House during his father's four years in office. His last public appearance dates back to August 27, the day of the inauguration for the Republican Party in Washington. He was standing next to Donald and Melania Trump, his face extinguished. Nothing since. He wasn't even with his parents when they returned from Mar-a-Lago in December, when they canceled their New Years party at the last minute.
But where is he hiding? A rumor was started by a certain Roland Scahill and then relayed by the Washington Post. While Donald Trump was in the White House, Barron reportedly lived with his grandparents and Melania in a house near his school in Maryland. Only, and as the Business Insider site reminds us, the rumor was denied by Stephanie Grisham, when she was still Melania's spokesperson, and by several members of the White House. White House Secretary Rickie Niceta Lloyd even called the rumor an "urban legend".
For her part, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders assured that it was "ridiculous" gossip and that she often saw Melania Trump in the establishment which had just been cleaned up. bottom out on the eve of the inauguration of Joe Biden.
Melania, "mother wolf"
The one who does not get along with her daughter-in-law Ivanka is quite simply a "wolf mother" who takes care of the peace of her offspring. Melania Trump wanted to prevent Barron from being the object of mockery and criticism so that he would grow up in the most serene environment possible.
As a reminder, it was in June 2007 that mother and son moved to the White House, after several months during which Melania renegotiated her marriage contract. Barron had started attending St Andrew's School in Maryland a few months later. The journey by car between this school structure and the workplace of the President of the United States was 30 minutes.
