Barron Trump
Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006) is Donald Trump's youngest child and his only child with Melania Trump. His nickname is Little Donald because he shares so many similarities with his dad. Melania has said: "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. He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him âLittle Donaldâ."[1]
"Little Donald" or the "First Boy of America" is currently attending the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The school was originally founded in 1764 and boasts famous students including Moby Dick author Herman Melville and beloved Buffy the Vampire actress Sarah Michelle Gellar.[2] Barron is fluent in Slovene which he speaks with his mum and grandparents, who also live in New York. During his early childhood, Barron made several television appearances, including on The Apprentice and The Oprah Winfrey Show. Barron will not immediately be living in the White House but will remain at Trump Tower with his mother, until the end of the current school term. When he isn't in school, Barron spends his time in Trump Tower where he has a whole floor to himself. On the eve of his 70th birthday, Donald Trump enjoyed a quiet night out for dinner with his wife, Melania, and Barron, at Ralph Lauren's The Polo
Barron loves wearing suits, probably because of the total adoration he has for his father.[3] He made a number of appearances during the 2016 election; although Melania Trump said she had wanted to keep him out of the spotlight. Barron made a total of three public appearances on the campaign trail, appearing at a campaign rally in South Carolina, and attending his father's RNC acceptance speech and presidential victory speech. While absent from pre-inauguration events, he was at his father's inauguration ceremony in January 2017 and some of the following events.
Soon after Donald was sworn is as President, Barron found himself at the centre of controversy, after a Saturday Night Live writer Katie Rich was âsuspended indefinitelyâ for tweeting a bizarre rant on the ten-year-old.[4] During Trump's inauguration ceremony, Modern Family actress Julie Bowen also attacked Barron, sharing a number of Instagram posts making fun of Barron. "I think Barron is on his Gameboy. Canât say I blame him", she captioned one photo of Barron looking at the floor during his father's swearing-in ceremony.[5]
