Is Barron Trump really a secret gamer who loves K-pop and anime? The secret life of Donald and Melania Trump’s son
What does the future hold for US President Donald Trump’s youngest child – who Melania desperately tries to shield from the spotlight
Compared to other children who have grown up in the White House, very little is known about Barron Trump.
Not your average schoolboy
Barron Trump didn’t immediately move into the White House after the January 2017 inauguration. He completed the academic year at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City and continued to live at Trump Tower on Manhattan’s glamorous Fifth Avenue until June 2017, travelling to Washington DC and his father’s Mar-a-Lago, Florida estate on weekends and holidays.
At one point he took 80 classmates on a tour of his soon-to be home. The Trump family’s protection by the New York Police Department and the Secret Service is believed to have cost NYC taxpayers US$1 million per day.
Bright future
According to The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump by Mary Jordan, Barron and Melania waited to move to the US capital so she could revise her prenuptial agreement. It was to make sure Barron was entitled to an inheritance that was more equal to Trump’s older children both financially and in terms of work in the Trump Organisation.
Major league soccer
Melania stated in 2018 that he is “all into sports”. Barron Trump has been seen in an Arsenal Football Club shirt and has since played for the DC United under-12 and Arlington Soccer Association’s under-14 teams. In April, Donald Trump admitted that Barron was “in his room” and happy, “but not as happy as he could be”, amid school and sports shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic.
