Childhood and education

Barron Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City to President Donald Trump, and  Melania Trump. He is the  first child of Melania and the youngest for Donald, who has four other children from his previous marriages.

According to online reports, Barron spent most of his childhood at his family’s lavish penthouse in New York City while attending prestigious private schools on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. He attended the  Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School before Donald began his presidential term in January 2017.

He then enrolled at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Maryland, after moving  into the White House with the rest of the family, during his father first tenure.  According to news report, Barron was hesitant about leaving his life in N.Y.C. and moving into the White House after Donald was first elected president.

Barron is presently a student of the New York University after graduating from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida in 2024.

During his father’s first tenure, Barron faced attacks online and daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton came to his defense. Amid the online bullying, Chelsea posted on X on several occasions, asking others to give Barron the chance to grow up without so much criticism.

“It’s high time the media & everyone leave Barron Trump alone & let him have the private childhood he deserves,” Clinton wrote in response to a negative article about Barron. Jenna Bush Hager, another former presidential daughter, also spoke out about how the attacks on Barron made her “mad”

Interest in politics

Barron’s Mother Melania has tried over the years, to keep her son away from the spot light and involved in the country’s politics  as she worries about the hate in the country and how it falls on her son. According to insider source, she tries to normalize his life in anyway possible.

In May 2024, news broke that Barron had been selected to serve as an at-large delegate for the state of Florida at the Republican National Convention later in July, which would have marked his first foray into the political realm. However, the office of Melania Trump announced two days later that he “regretfully declines to participate” at the convention because of prior commitments.

In July, 2024 Barron joined his dad on the campaign trail. While in Doral, Fla., Donald noted from the podium that it was his son’s first-ever rally. During the  recent inauguration event, Donald also revealed  how he played a  key role to ensure father’s successful bid for a second  term.

Giving a warm shout out to his son, Donald said “I have a very tall son named Barron… has anyone ever heard of him?”  “He knew the youth vote. We won the youth vote by 36 points. He was saying – ‘Dad, you have to go out and do this one or that one’. We did a lot of them. He respects them all, he understood them very well.”
