In a few months, Barron Trump, the youngest son of Donald Trump, will be 18 years old. The young man has been a mystery, just as his mother, Melania Trump, wanted.
Even though Donald Trump and his children are part of one of the most famous and limelight-hogging families on this planet, almost nothing is known about the teenager.
For example, the world has yet to hear Barron Trump’s voice. The public knows basic information about the young man: he is tall, speaks Slovenian, is bright, and is getting ready for college.
Other than these minor details, Barron Trump is an enigma, just like former first lady Melania Trump. Well, this week, for the very first time, Barron Trump quietly and inadvertently gave a glimpse of the kind of man he is.
And by the looks of things, he will be nothing like his famous, controversial father, who loves to attack and belittle everyone around him. Barron Trump, his father, Donald Trump, and his half-siblings were present during the funeral of his grandmother, Amalija Knavs.
The camera caught a surprisingly tender moment between the teen and his father. After what seemed like an unfortunate moment of brief tension between Donald Trump and former first lady Melania Trump, Barron Trump was seen jumping into action in the most beautiful way.
Barron Trump was photographed touching his father’s back as a sign of reassurance. While Donald Trump has been on the world stage for years, giving political speeches or pushing business deals, with his adult children next to him, this is probably the first time, a clear gesture of genuine affection has emerged in the Trump clan.
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the gesture via The Daily Express, saying: “It elicits an unusual response from their son Barron, too. Clearly tuned into his father’s mood, he extends a hand in what looks like a mimed or truncated embrace that could suggest a desire to show comfort and/or support.”
The surprising demonstration by Barron Trump will force even some of Melania Trump’s enemies and critics to agree that, while she might have failed in many fields, she delivered in the motherhood department.
Barron Trump’s first independent move as a Trump confirms that he is loving, caring, has empathy, and is supportive of his father.
That says a lot about the teenager who grew up with Donald Trump and his infamous antics and rhetoric, and it also puts the spotlight on his family, who rarely shows these emotions in public.
