It looks like Donald Trump is making his way back to the White House. After defeating Kamala Harris in the presidential election, he’s returning for a second term. This time, though, it seems he will not have as many family members with him at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. His youngest son, Barron, is busy studying in New York.
Barron, now 18, has lived quite an incredible life, largely staying out of the public eye thanks to his mother, Melania. While his life has been extraordinary, the question remains whether he’ll follow in his father’s political footsteps.
When voters met Donald Trump on election night, standing right there with the family was Barron Trump. As usual, his height caught the public’s attention. Earlier in the day, Barron cast his very first vote, with Melania sharing a photo of him inside the voting booth. Trump’s fans have already started dreaming about Barron’s future.
Growing up, Barron spent his early years in Trump Tower, Manhattan. It’s been said he had a whole floor to himself, complete with a kitchen, living room, and even maid quarters. Melania gave him the nickname “Little Donald” due to his personality as a child.
“He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy. He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants. Sometimes I call him ‘Little Donald,’” Melania explained.
With Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election, Barron’s life forever changed. After finishing his schooling in New York, he moved to the White House, becoming the first boy to live there since JFK Jr.
Barron attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland, not too far from the White House. Before his move from New York, it was clear he was eager to have his school friends visit the White House. Confidential sources suggested he was excited to host sleepovers.
Barron’s Friends Visit the White House
Barron invited classmates to visit him at the White House, and according to reports, “Kids at his school are already planning sleepovers.” A report from PageSix mentioned Barron taking around 80 schoolmates to Washington in May 2017.
Unlike typical school tours, those who visited with Barron had a special, personal tour. “All the kids got dressed up,” said a source. “The girls were in dresses, and the boys wore khaki pants and button-downs. It was so cute.”
Insight Into Barron’s High School Life
During the visit, the children, teachers, and Secret Service agents toured the White House. The highlight of the trip was meeting President Trump and First Lady Melania. President Trump spoke to them about achieving their potential and serving their country.
Barron wasn’t often seen in the public eye during his father’s presidency, and Melania worked to protect him from scrutiny. After their time at the White House, the family relocated to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
Enrolling at Oxbridge Academy, Barron’s life was kept as private as possible. Secret Service agents were known to escort him on campus, and he even attended classes under a different name for privacy. Despite this, there are a few whispers about his school days.
A source told the Daily Mail that it was a “shame” Barron couldn’t experience school like his peers. “He was very funny and sociable. He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining,” said the source. However, Barron missed out on typical high school activities like going to dances or football games.
Father and Son: A Unique Relationship
Barron’s graduation from Oxbridge Academy in May was a proud moment. Donald Trump even commented on Barron’s excellent performance at school. However, books suggest Donald might be a little envious of Barron’s height.
Michael Wolff’s book claims Trump’s relationship with Barron is strained, partly due to him being taller. According to Wolff, Trump is so conscious of height that he avoids taking pictures with taller people.
Despite any family rivalry, Barron gave advice to his father during his campaign. While Barron and Melania weren’t active on the campaign trail, they remain supportive of Donald.
Future President Barron Trump?
For Barron, this election year was meaningful not only for witnessing his father’s run again but also for casting his vote for the first time. Melania celebrated by sharing a photo of Barron voting.
Fans quickly sent their congratulations, with many speculating on his possible future. Comments poured in, with fans calling him a “sharp young man” and a “future president.” One user even hinted at “2044,” the year Barron could potentially follow in his father’s footsteps as president.
