Donald Trump‘s youngest son, Barron Trump, that stole the show at his father’s inauguration? According to many, the answer is a resounding yes.
Barron, who is now 18, began his freshman year at New York University’s Stern School of Business in September 2024. He’s reportedly pursuing a degree in business and finance.
At the time being, the young Trump is residing at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, commuting to campus for his classes.
According to his mother, who spoke to Fox in September, 2024, “It was [Barron’s] decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home.”
However, according to an insider, she wants to keep a watchful eye on her son.
“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” an insider told People in December 2024 when speaking about Barron’s living situation. “Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible.”
Body language expert Judy James spoke of Barron Trump and his appearance at his father’s inauguration, saying that now the boy is all grown up, he’s “working as a sweeper.”
“This means he tends to arrive and leave behind his parents, but instead of just walking off behind them as he did when he was younger, he spends time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words,” James continued, concluding by saying that “defines” Barron’s presence and status without having to compete with his father.”
“He lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise. Biden had been on the receiving end of a flame-thrower speech from Trump, where he had sat in a variety of poses including pained deflation and bravado smiling as his entire four years in office were scorched to ashes.”
One thing that caught everyone’s attention was Barron’s quick interaction with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
According to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Barron greeted Biden saying, “G’day to you sir” before turning to Harris with the words, “Ma’am, good day.”
Biden replied, “It’s good to see you, man.”
Body language expert Judy James said Barron “very confidently” and “charmingly” bent to shake hands with Biden.
“And although Biden’s face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Biden’s face was registering the fact that he’d finished his greeting ritual with Trump’s son,” James said.
As expected, people praised the young gentleman for his action, dubbing him as well-mannered and saying his mother did an awesome job raising him.
“I’m done with hard work,” she said. “I want an easy life with someone who’ll give me their credit card.”
