It should be big around the two meters. Even if Barron Trump wasn’t the most powerful man in the world, he would probably notice. With Donald Trump’s return to the White House, his youngest offspring has also moved back into the spotlight. If Barron Trump was still a child during the first term of office, the 18-year-old, who has her birthday next Thursday (March 20), is now a student entitled to vote. The Trump son hardly manifests itself publicly. Some still predict a great political career.
A special childhood
Barron Trump is the only child of Trump and his third wife Melania, who is now the first lady in the United States. Barron was born in 2006 as the fifth child of Trump and spent most of his childhood in New York. There he attended a noble private school and lived in the shielded billionaire world of his heavy father.
Some time after Trump’s first election victory, he moved into the White House and went to a prestigious school near the US capital Washington. His parents kept him largely away from the spotlight. He graduated from Trump’s Mar-A-Lago in Florida near Trump’s estate. Today Barron Trump is studying at New York University (NYU) in Manhattan. Like his father, he chose the business subject.
Barrons big day was also inaugurated
In the past few weeks, however, the tall young man attracted attention with his presence at events such as the inauguration of his father. There were no public statements from him, but he waved to the audience in terms of states and imitated his father, whom he looks very similar. Barron Trump stretched his fist up under the cheering of the guests and kept his thumb up. He understood what young voters moved, said father Trump when he introduced his “very big son”.
These small gestures are like a fist that are shared tens of times on the net. What Barron really thinks or what his political attitude is – it can only be speculated about it. His silence creates a gap that everyone can fill with their own idea of Barron. Loyal supporter of his father, shy son or maybe even a secret rebel? There are no limits to the imagination.
Article draws attention to everyday campus life
There is a flood of memes on social media that take barrons on the shovel. For some, Barron may only be an internet joke, for others he is much more. “Barron Trump is the future of the conservative movement,” said the Republican Student Association recently. The background is an article in the magazine “Vanity Fair”, which gets to the bottom of Barron Trump’s everyday university life.
In it, the NYU President of the Republican Association, Kaya Walker, is quoted with the words: “He is somehow a strange on campus.” Barron Trump goes to class and then home, she said about the president’s son, who is always accompanied by security personnel and, according to the article, is also more in the background. Walker was pushed by the Republican Student Association for the resignation of her post for her testimony. The statement was “inappropriate” it was said that it was invited to join Barron Trump to join the association.
Barron, the election campaign whisperer
Barron Trump – the future of conservatives? This is a bold statement when you consider that the 18-year-old has not really expressed her publicly politically. However, others did that for him. His mother Melania said her son helped Donald Trump with advice to win the presidential election in November. Barron openly represented his opinion. Trump consultant Jason Miller said that the teenager helped choose podcasts in which father Trump should appear in the election campaign.
In fact, the Republican also relied on this medium in the election campaign to spread his message. He spoke to the podcasters Joe Rogan and Theo von, whose main target group are younger men. Trump’s vice candidate JD Vance also used the podcast strategy and agreed aggressively to persuade young men to vote for Trump.
Trump’s children mix in politics
A few months ago, Barron’s older brother Eric Trump said in an interview about Barron that there was a “great future” in front of him. Many of Trump’s children are politically active and influential. Daughter Ivanka had recently withdrawn something from the public, but was his advisor in the White House during Trump’s first term. Eric and his brother Don Jr. aggressively supported their father in the last election campaign and are still considered close consultants.
“My advice to Barron: You are the most observed person, probably the most observed bachelor in the world at the moment,” Eric said. So he has to be careful. This advice should not only apply to love things. It is open whether Barron Trump will enter his father’s footsteps one day.
Many Republicans apparently trust him. According to a recent survey, 49 percent of the party supporters surveyed in favor of applying for the US President’s office in the future. In contrast, 37 percent, unsure 13 percent. According to the constitution, you have to be 35 years old in order to become US president – this is a few more years and the constitution is not so easy to change. But politically influential is not only in the Oval Office.
