The young man has just turned 16 and his mother has congratulated him on social networks while she tries to protect him from curiosity. After two years in the White House little is known about him
A few weeks after Donald Trump became president of the United States, journalists accredited to the White House were informally called to ask them to respect the privacy of Barron, the youngest son of the Republican politician. His parents feared that such a stir would alter his life. At the same time, Melania, the first lady, decided to stay in New York for a few more months so that Barron could finish the school year and gradually acclimatize to his new life. Two years after the arrival of Trump to the presidency, the figure of Barron is very silent. He is only seen with his parents getting on or off planes and little else. Unlike Malia and Sasha, the daughters of the Obamas, or Chelsea, the Clintons, Barron does not act as the son of the president. Of course, the US media comment on the sullen attitude of the youngest of the Trumps and also the physical change that he has experienced. He is already taller than his mother, who is 1.80 meters tall. The specialists, percentile in hand, predict that when he is 18 years old he will be the tallest in the family, a title that Erik now has, reaching 1.96.
Barron Trump is physically a carbon copy of his father. "He is a very special and intelligent mentally strong boy. He is independent and stubborn and knows exactly what he wants. He is a mix of us in appearance, but his personality is identical to his father's, that's why I call him Little Donald" , explained his mother in an interview with the American press. Barron Trump shares with his father his love of golf, a sport that they practice together on weekends. He is also passionate about video games, although he told his mother that he wanted to be a "businessman".
During the electoral campaign, Barron, like the rest of his brothers, was present at the events organized to promote his father but then disappeared from the public scene. In that short space of time, the young man was serious and not very receptive to the interest he aroused in the media. Becoming the son of the president of the United States and grabbing the attention of the media is not easy. And Chelsea Clinton knows it well, since she spent her adolescence as the daughter of a president, something that she suffered from 1993 to 2001 while she lived in the White House. Last January, Bill Clinton's daughter made a public defense of Barron Trump: "Barron Trump deserves every child's chance to have a childhood."
In the last few hours, Michelle Obama has also talked about how her daughters coped with the years they lived in the White House. Malia was 10 years old and Sasha was seven when Barack Obama was appointed president and the great concern of the couple was that they not feel that they were living in a fishbowl. “It took a lot of effort to keep them in their reality. We made sure to attend parent-teacher conferences, go to their games, and have kids sleeping over at our house. And that takes work”, he explained. "Imagine going to a parent-teacher conference with a motorcade of 20 cars and police officers yelling at teachers 'get out of the way!'
Barron studies at the private school St. Andrew's Episcopal School, located in the wealthy neighborhood of Potomac (Maryland) on the outskirts of the capital and whose annual cost is $40,000. He is the first presidential son to opt for this school, which educates about 600 students, from preschool to the end of secondary education.
Melania spread this Wednesday on her social networks the image of two large balloons with the number 16 and wrote: "Happy birthday BWT", referring to his full name, Barron William Trump.
Barron is Melania's only child and Donald's youngest child. He has several half-siblings on his father's side: Donald Jr, Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany. Melania is proud of him: "The most important and happiest role I've ever had is being the mother of my son."
