Donald Trump’s youngest son — the only child he shares with his third and current wife Melania — just recently turned 18 and will graduate high school in just a few days now, and it’s starting to really show.
Barron Trump has largely stayed out of the public spotlight from the very beginning, despite his father’s ever-mounting scandals and legal woes — including the infamous Manhattan dirty Hush Money trial he’s currently neck deep in, over payments that were made to the woman he allegedly cheated on Barron’s mom with and then tried to cover it up by buying the woman’s silence.
The youngest Trump child’s privacy was carefully curated and fiercely protected by his mother, even during her time as First Lady of the United States, when Donald rose to the presidency when Barron was only 10 years old.
However, Barron Trump is a big boy now, and it seems that, in true teen fashion, the former First Son is sowing his wild oats.

British tabloid, The Daily Mail recently released an exclusive piece on Donald’s youngest son, with the headline, “Barron Trump, 18, uses his charm to schmooze conservatives, gets into mischief with friends, and has his own political aspirations.”
One source told the tabloid, “Barron is handsome, tall — taller even than his father – and very knowledgeable for someone his age. He’s also far more politically interested than people realize.”
In fact, people thought that Barron was finally making his big political debut last week when it was reported that the 18-year-old had been chosen as an at-large RNC Florida delegate on behalf of his father — only for that news to be shot down as quickly as it came onto the scene with a rather interesting statement from his mother’s office, stating that Barron had to “decline” the delegate offer, due to prior commitments.
“I see all the attributes of a future President if he has the appetite for it. And why not? He has the Trump genes,” the source told the publication.
“While he was still a minor she zealously protected him and we knew very little about the details of his daily life,” the source told Daily Mail. “I think he’s allowed to make more decisions for himself now. He can invite anyone to dinner he wishes. He’s slowly becoming more public.”
It seems that now, with that new sense of freedom and autonomy, Barron Trump is already bracing himself for what he knows is soon to come.
As soon as Donald’s youngest son turned 18, a few rogue members of the media were quick to jump on Barron like dogs on raw meat, calling the teen “fair game” now that he’s officially an adult. This notion was quickly shot down by anyone with a heart on either side of the political fence — the fact of the matter is, Barron hasn’t done anything wrong yet, and it’s frankly just unfair and cruel to start attacking him just because you can.
However, apparently, Barron already knows what the media has in store for him, and he’s prepared for it.
According to the exclusive new piece, the teen has spoken with his friends behind closed doors and acknowledged that the media is going to “come after” him.
Patrick Bet-David, an Iranian-American business mogul and prominent figure in Trumpworld quoted Barron Trump saying, “It’s officially fair game to come after me,” referring to both the media and his father’s political enemies. “I don’t care. Good, do it. They’ve gone and done it to every kid.”
It certainly seems like Barron Trump is trying to carve his own path in life after years of his mother sheltering and protecting him. I am just not sure that he is prepared for what he will actually find outside the golden, gilded doors of Mar-a-Lago.
