It’s my eldest son’s birthday! Barron Trump celebrates his 20th birthday today, March 20th.
It’s been more than a year since Barron Trump’s father returned to office, and the tall but elusive presidential son has made only two public appearances. Barron Trump was only 10 years old when President Donald Trump first took office.
He is currently a second-year student at New York University’s Stern School of Business. Although his parents believe he is politically savvy, we haven’t heard directly from Barron Trump.
The first lady’s office has not commented on how Barron Trump will celebrate, but the president is scheduled to head to his home in Florida on the evening of March 20th.
Here’s what you need to know about Barron Trump.
Who is Barron Trump?
Barron Trump is the youngest of President Donald Trump’s children and the only child of the president and first lady Melania Trump.
Barron Trump stands out for his height whenever he appears with his parents, but he doesn’t usually appear in public. During his term as president, his only public appearances were at the inauguration and the State of the Union address. His father still praises him for helping reach young voters through social media platforms and influencers like streamer Adin Roth.
“He’s a great young man, and we’re so proud of him,” Melania Trump said on Fox Business Network’s “Morning with Maria” on January 29. “This time it’s very different because he’s 19 and the first time he was 10. He understands politics, he’s giving advice to his father and he’s talking about it. It’s very different.”
In a video posted in October by the president’s eldest granddaughter Kai Trump (technically Barron’s niece who is one year older), Donald Trump called Barron “cute” and a “good kid.”
How tall is Barron Trump?
Barron Trump is at least 6 feet 7 inches tall, but there are conflicting reports about his height.
What college does Barron Trump attend?
Barron Trump is a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business, the first lady told Fox Business Network, adding that he “loves this school.” It is unclear whether he attends the Manhattan campus, and reports say he did not return to New York last fall, instead enrolling at another NYU campus.
