Barron Trump, the youngest son of former United StatesPresident Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has recently garneredattention online as his father's campaign for the 2024 presidential election heats up. Barron, who turned 18 on March 20, 2024, is stepping into the political spotlight, reportedly offering political advice and technological insights to his father's team.
Born in 2006, Barron was raised in the Trump family's opulent penthouse in New York City and attended elite private schools on Manhattan's Upper West Side. His parents, Donald and Melania Trump, married in 2005, and soon after, they were expecting Barron.
When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, Melania and her sonremained 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.
Melaniahas consistently sought to shield Barron from the public eye.
An old video of a four-year-old Barron speaking with a Slovenian accent has gone viral on social media platform X.
The video, taken from the family's April 2010 appearance on CNN's Larry King Live, shows a young Barron interacting playfully with the talk show host.
In the video, Melania encourages Barron to greet Larry King, and the young boy waves energetically at the camera.

The video also captures a moment where Barron is kneeling by his open luggage, prompting Donaldto remark, "Now you can do reading, writing, and arithmetic."
Larry King later notes Barron's accent, to which Melania responds, confirming that Barron spends most of his time with her.
Donald Trump adds, "I think it’s great. Anything he does is OK with me." Melania further claims that Barron speaks three languages, leading Donaldto proudly declare him the "smart one."
