Donald Trump has never been known as a โgood father.โ He himself has even admitted that he simply does nothing to take care of them, as heโs always left that to his various wives and baby mamas over the years.
Ivanka is the princess of the bunch, who weโre frankly pretty sure heโd much rather date than parent. Don Jr. is the first son, namesake, and family fuck up that will never quite earn the approval from daddy heโs so deeply desperate for. Eric is the stereotypical middle child who just wishes someone would pay attention to him. Tiffany would just as soon her daddy didnโt speak to her when he opens up his checkbook. And then we have Barronโฆ
Trumpโs relationship with his youngest son, the only one he shares with his current wife Melania, is perhaps the most troubling of them all. While Donald doesnโt have much genuine love for any of his children, Barron appears to be the one that he truly disdains โ with reports over the years confirming that Donald doesnโt get along with his youngest child and even sees Barron as a โmajor issue in his marriage.โ
Now, if one public relations expert is correct in their analysis, that relationship is only poised to get a whole lot worse in the coming years.

Barron is notoriously neutral when it comes to his fatherโs politics, in large part due to his motherโs vehement attempts to keep her only son out of the spotlight and, thereby, out of the media cycle. However, the youngest Trump heirโs 18th birthday is rapidly approaching and people are beginning to speculate on which proverbial direction Barron Trump is preparing to head in.
Will he turn out like his father? A real estate โmogul,โ whoโs actually just a crook in a suit with terrifying world-domination aspirations?
Possibly. But Eden Gillott, crisis management expert of Gillott Communications, recently spoke out and said that she sees Donaldโs youngest son going a different direction โ one that will almost undoubtedly make Donald hate Barron even more.
Speaking with the outlet The List, Gillott laid out her theory on what Barron Trumpโs first steps into his adult life will look like:
Barron will most likely opt for Melaniaโs elegance of privacy rather than his fatherโs love of the spotlight. This selective visibility could define his persona, underscoring the sophistication of leading a life of quiet dignity amidst a world that often confuses noise with influence. Barron has a unique opportunity to capitalize on this increased visibility to subtly shape his own narrative. While his fatherโs potential presidency could heighten public interest, Barron could use this moment not for direct engagement, but as a chance to reinforce his personal brand of quiet distinction.
Barronโs choice of a quieter path could mark him as the bearer of a new legacy where he redefines what it looks like to carry the name. His signature trait that he carries well into whatever path he chooses, marking him as a figure of thoughtful consideration. If, at a later point, he decides he wants to fully step into public life, itโll be much easier to navigate than trying to close Pandoraโs box.โ
Donald Trumpโs entire existence is built on his egotistical idea that everyone who even knows of his name loves him, respects him, and wants to be him. That existence will undoubtedly be shattered if his own son rejects it.
