Donald Trump has never been known as a “good father.” He himself has even admitted that he simply does nothing to take care of them, as he’s always left that to his various wives and baby mamas over the years.
Ivanka is the princess of the bunch, who we’re frankly pretty sure he’d 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 he’s 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 didn’t speak to her when he opens up his checkbook. And then we have Barron…
Trump’s 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 doesn’t have much genuine love for any of his children, Barron appears to be the one that he truly disdains — with reports over the years confirming that Donald doesn’t get along with his youngest child and even sees Barron as a “major issue in his marriage.”
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 father’s politics, in large part due to his mother’s vehement attempts to keep her only son out of the spotlight and, thereby, out of the media cycle. However, the youngest Trump heir’s 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 “mogul,” who’s 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 Donald’s youngest son going a different direction — 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 Trump’s first steps into his adult life will look like:
Barron will most likely opt for Melania’s elegance of privacy rather than his father’s 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 father’s 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.
Barron’s 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, it’ll be much easier to navigate than trying to close Pandora’s box.”
Donald Trump’s 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.
