Melania Trump is often perceived as distant and reserved, a trait that also seems to apply to her son, Barron Trump. The First Lady is known for maintaining a small circle of friends, with a source informing Page Six that she regards her few acquaintances in Palm Beach as her closest companions.
One reason for her reticence may stem from a betrayal by a former friend who disclosed private information about the Trump family. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former aide who had been acquainted with Melania for over 15 years, authored a revealing book titled “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady.” According to the insider, “Melania has yet to establish a political circle in Washington, which leaves her feeling somewhat isolated during her visits. She lacks trust in the political environment, which is rife with leaks and shifting loyalties based on polls and elections.” The source further noted that when Melania is in New York City, she primarily spends her time with Barron, who currently resides in Trump Tower while attending New York University.
As her only child, Barron shares a particularly close bond with Melania. The First Lady’s photographer, Regine Mahaux, remarked to Hello!, “Barron is happy and proud, and she takes great pride in him. Their connection is truly special. I am delighted with the person Barron has become.” Like his mother, Barron is reportedly not very outgoing, and despite being a freshman at one of New York City’s most prestigious universities, he remains somewhat elusive.
Barron Trump appears to be leading a solitary life on campus. While downtown New York City offers a vibrant atmosphere for college students, it seems that Barron has not fully embraced this opportunity. As the son of the President of the United States, it is understandable that he prefers to maintain a low profile. However, fellow students at New York University have noted his absence on campus, and when he is spotted, they often go to great lengths to capture his attention. It seems challenging for students to encounter him, as he does not appear to be actively engaged in the college community like many of his peers.
It is likely not beneficial that Trump is consistently accompanied by Secret Service agents, with reports to the Daily Mail indicating that he is even escorted to the restroom and refrains from dining in the cafeteria with his peers. However, this does not imply that the youngest Trump son is inaccessible; sources have indicated that he is quite friendly. Those in his vicinity have noted his enthusiasm for gaming, as he has inquired about his classmates’ Discord usernames, according to TMZ. Maintaining a certain distance while socializing appears to align well with Trump’s persona.
