Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006)[1] is an American television personality and the youngest son of Donald Trump, the 45th & 47th President of the United States.

Early life and education

[edit]

Barron was born on March 20, 2006 in Manhattan, New York City. He is the son of Donald Trump and his third wife, Melania Trump. He has four older half-siblings, namely Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany.

In May 2006, Trump was baptized at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida. He was raised at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City and attended the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan until 2017. He moved to the White House in Washington, D.C. on June 11, 2017 and attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland until 2021.[2]

From 2021 to 2024, Barron attended Oxbridge Academy, a private college-preparatory high school in West Palm Beach, Florida,[3] where he graduated on May 17, 2024.[4]

In September 2024, Trump became a freshman of the Stern School of Business of New York University.[5]

In the media

[edit]

During his early childhood, Barron made several television appearances, including on The Apprentice and a May 16, 2006, episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show at only two months old.[6]

In politics

[edit]

Barron appeared at a campaign rally in South Carolina, and was present for his father's acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, presidential victory speech,[7] and inauguration in January 2017, as well as some subsequent events. He has overall remained out of the political spotlight.[8]

In May 2024, Barron was selected by the Republican Party of Florida to be one of Florida's 41 at-large delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention, in order to vote to decide the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2024 presidential election.[9][10][11] However, his mother declined the role on his behalf, citing prior commitments.[12]

In August 2024, Barron and his friend, 17-year-old conservative influencer Bo Loudon, were credited with aiding the Trump campaign in its attempts to appeal to young voters.[13] They allegedly set up the opportunity for Adin Ross to interview Donald Trump, as well as a banquet event at Mar-a-Lago that hosted several other conservative figures such as Patrick Bet-David and Justin Waller.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

In addition to English, Barron Trump is fluent in Slovene.[14] He stands at 6 foot 7 inches (2 meters) tall as of 2021 and is the tallest of Donald Trump's four children.[15]

Barron is known to be a fan of soccer.[16] In September 2017, he was selected to join the U-12 team for D.C. United's Development Academy for the 2017–2018 season.[17] In February 2019, Barron played with the Arlington Soccer Association.

On October 14, 2020, Melania Trump confirmed that Barron had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, without exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.[18]
