Barron Trump: Everything you need to know about Donald Trump’s youngest son

Barron Trump is the youngest son of former US President Donald Trump.

Trump welcomed Barron in 2006, shortly after he tied the knot with his third wife Melania in 2005.

Barron is Donald’s fifth and Melania’s first child.

Born in 2006, Barron was raised in the Trump family’s lavish penthouse in New York City and attended elite private schools on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, Melania and her son remained in New York City for several months so Barron could complete his academic year. During the summers, Barron would join his family at the White House.

Melania has consistently tried to shield Barron from the public eye.

Barron turned 18 on March 20, 2024 and attends New York University’s Stern School of Business.

Speaking about his son’s decision to join NYU, the Republican presidential candidate said they had also considered the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where he had attended.

“It (NYU) is a very high-quality place. He liked it. He liked the school. I went to Wharton, and that was definitely one we considered. We didn’t. We went for Stern.”

Trump said Barron had already taken an interest in politics and advised him on how to attract Gen-Z to vote for him. Barron was the mastermind behind his father going on a live stream with Adin Ross and other popular streamers.

“Adin Ross, you know, I mean, I do some people that I wasn’t that familiar with, different generations. He knows every single one of them. And we’ve had tremendous success,” Donald said.

Some 41 million Gen Z voters will cast their ballots in the 2024 US election, and whoever taps them could win the keys to the White House.
