Speaking to the Palm Beach Post in 2006, Donald Trump said that baby Barron Trump had more in common with his mother than his father. “He’s like her in temperament. Very calm. Which is not easy when you’re around me,” he admitted. Melania Trump appears to be the parent that Barron spends the most time around as well, and even after the Trumps left the White House, she seemingly remained devoted to shielding him from the media circus his father attracted with his myriad scandals. “They live in a fairy tale world and just deal with things as they come and seem to survive pretty well,” a source told People.
If Barron follows Melania’s example, we probably won’t witness him suddenly morphing into a Donald clone who craves the attention of adoring crowds and longs to admire his reflection in the lens of a television camera. “Barron will most likely opt for Melania’s elegance of privacy rather than his father’s love of the spotlight,” PR expert Eden Gillott tells Nicki Swift.
So far, we’ve seen zero evidence that Barron desires a lifestyle significantly different from the quiet, drama-free conditions his mother has carefully constructed for him. During a 2018 town hall, Melania even said that Barron had expressed no interest in using social media, which is pretty unusual for a Gen Zer. So, it seems unlikely that he’ll become the next big TikTok star or YouTube streamer in 2024.
