Barron Trump can proudly say he is the son of the President of the United States once again. His father, Donald Trump, took the oath of office as the 47th president on Monday, January 20, with Barron and the rest of the family by his side throughout the day. However, since Barron started college last year, the 18-year-old likely had to get back to his studies shortly after.
People often draw comparisons between Barron and his father, which is understandable given that he is the son of a two-time president. In recent years, many have noticed his impressive height, but on inauguration day, attention shifted to another topic.
It’s widely recognized that Donald Trump has used bronzer to achieve his signature orange look. Following the inauguration, a curious question has emerged: has Barron begun to adopt a similar beauty routine?
Having spent considerable time in the White House, the now-18-year-old son of Donald and Melania Trump lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue during his father’s first term. However, this time around, things have changed.
Barron, who stayed out of the public eye after leaving the White House, is now a student at Stern Business School at New York University, meaning he won’t be residing in the White House this time. Nevertheless, Melania recently mentioned that her son is always welcome in Washington.
He’ll definitely have his own bedroom there, but he’s an adult now and in college. I believe he will come to visit, for sure, Melania shared with Fox, expressing her excitement if he brings friends along.
“Absolutely, he can do whatever he wants. I believe that as parents, we have our kids until they’re about 18 or 19. We teach them, guide them, and then we let them spread their wings. I always respect Barron’s choices and preferences about what he wants to do and where he wants to be.”
Since leaving the White House, Barron has been under Secret Service protection, and at 18, he will continue to have agents with him while he studies at NYU. The federal agency has confirmed that Barron will receive protection, although they haven’t detailed how it will be implemented.
Barron Trump “already has his own political ideas,” says source
He will remain at Trump Tower, and Melania has confirmed that she plans to spend time in New York with their son. According to several sources for People Magazine, Melania is committed to doing everything possible to ensure Barron’s well-being and academic success. However, the 18-year-old won’t experience the “full college experience” of living in a dorm.
“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t feasible for him right now,” a source shared with People. “Barron already has his own political views, and it all needs to be carefully monitored given the circumstances.”
Another insider mentioned that staying at home is the best choice for Barron at this time.
“Regardless of what others think about his independence, Melania believes it’s important to be close to him as much as she can,” the insider stated. “I see that continuing.”
Melania’s desire to stay close to Barron goes beyond just supporting him during his initial time at NYU. Two additional sources informed People Magazine that his father’s return to the White House as President has also influenced this decision.
“Melania is concerned about the negativity in the country and how it affects her son, who is innocent in all of this,” the source explained. “She has been a great support for him. They discuss life as it is and how they navigate the public eye,” the source added. “She tries to make his life feel as normal as possible, if that’s even achievable.”
Barron Trump praised by his father Donald on Inauguration Day
On Monday, Barron had to miss any classes he might have attended, and there was a significant reason for it. His father was officially inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, and Barron was by his side during the ceremony and the festivities at Nationwide Arena later that day.
During his address to supporters, Donald Trump commended his son for his role in the election victory. He asked the audience if they were aware of his “tall son,” prompting enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
“He understood the youth vote. We won the youth vote by 36 points,” Trump remarked. “He was telling me, ‘Dad, I need to go out and do this and that,’ and we accomplished a lot together. He respects everyone and really got it. He said, ‘Dad, you need to go on Joe Rogan and all those shows we did. They were all fantastic, right? Barron, they were all fantastic.’”
The interaction between Barron Trump and Joe Biden quickly went viral, with many intrigued by the mystery surrounding their meeting. Biden smiled while speaking with Barron, but after their exchange, his cheerful demeanor shifted to a more serious one. Social media users around the globe were eager to uncover what the president’s son had said. Additionally, Barron received praise online for the way he greeted both Biden and Kamala Harris.
“I was really impressed by that gesture from someone so young. To reach across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature move. Good for Barron,” one commenter noted.
Body language expert says Barron Trump showed off “super-confidence”
One observer remarked, “What a wonderful young man… That gesture speaks volumes. Great job, Melania.”
According to the Daily Mail, the TikTok video featuring Barron and Joe had garnered over half a million views by Wednesday. One viewer humorously commented, “Looks like he said, ‘You’re done.’”
In an interview with the Daily Mail, body language expert and communications coach Judi James offered another perspective. She noted that Barron “confidently” and “charmingly” leaned down to shake hands with Biden.
“While it may appear that Biden’s expression changes as if Barron has delivered some ominous message, the reality is much simpler. Barron was actually leaning in to greet Kamala, and Biden’s face was just reflecting the end of his greeting with Trump’s son,” James explained.
She further mentioned that Barron’s playful demeanor and what she termed “super-confidence” have led some to misinterpret his interaction with Biden.
“When he was introduced by his father, he stood like a rock star soaking in the cheers and chants of his name, even cupping his ear to amplify the applause. This might be why some people mistakenly think he’s making pointed remarks as he leaves,” James added.
Did Barron Trump have a ‘fake tan’ during the inauguration?
James shared that Barron took on the role of a “sweeper” during the inauguration, a position he often assumes when attending events with his father.
This means he typically arrives and departs separately from his parents. However, rather than just trailing behind them as he did in his younger years, he now engages with others, shaking hands and offering polite remarks. James emphasized that this behavior truly “defines” Barron’s presence and status, allowing him to stand out without overshadowing his father.
He is making it clear that he is emerging as a significant individual in his own right. His height and growing confidence contribute to a regal presence. Meanwhile, Biden endured a fiery speech from Trump, displaying a range of emotions from discomfort to forced smiles as his presidency was harshly criticized.
Barron, known for his impressive height, often draws attention at events. During the inauguration, he was seen interacting with various attendees, but one aspect of his appearance left many surprised. According to Express US, Barron was noted for having a new “healthy glow,” with the Mirror even suggesting he had developed a “bronze” tan, reminiscent of his father’s.
Why Donald Trump is wearing bronzer
During a church ceremony at St John’s Episcopal Church on Monday, Barron was spotted with striking bronzed cheekbones and a glimmering forehead, drawing comparisons to Donald Trump. For years, Donald’s distinctive orange complexion has been a topic of discussion. In his younger days, his skin tone was lighter, as he didn’t use bronzer.
So, what prompted Donald to start using bronzer? Celebrity makeup artist Safia Cox shared her insights with the Mirror, suggesting it might be linked to his self-confidence.
“I believe he applies some kind of fake tan or tinted moisturizer along with bronzer. I’m certain it’s not from sunbeds, as that would create a different hue,” Cox explained.
“It seems like he’s using a cream product, possibly with bronzer, and then setting it with powder. The orange tone is quite noticeable, especially around the edges of his face. If you examine his hairline, it’s much lighter, which isn’t due to sunbeds; it looks like he’s applying a cream product.”
“He has orange blindness”
Cox speculated that Trump might use “some kind of fake tan or tinted moisturizer with bronzer,” which he then sets with a powder. She pointed out that near his hairline, there’s a noticeable contrast, as it appears “very pale.”
“I believe his makeup routine has evolved over the years, possibly reflecting his age and growing insecurities. The constantly shifting orange tone has sparked numerous online debates and memes, with many questioning his preference for such an orange look,” Cox added, noting that some suggest Trump applies more bronzer when feeling stressed.
“He seems to have a sort of orange blindness or fake tan blindness, and I doubt he’s aware of it,” the makeup expert shared with the Mirror. “It’s not a flattering bronze; he doesn’t look like he’s just returned from a vacation, but rather like he’s piled on the fake tan. It’s strange; he might be really insecure and thinks it boosts his confidence, or perhaps he’s intentionally doing it to keep people talking about him.”
