Barron Trump is more than just an unusually tall former First
Kid — here's the special skill his mom Melania taught him from a very young age.
Donald Trump's youngest son Barron has managed to mostly avoid the spotlight. In fact,
he's only really photographed when he's traveling alongside his parents. Part
of the reason why Barron prefers to lead a quieter life is likely because
he was so young when his dad won the presidency and became even more famous.
"Barron Trump. Did you ever hear of Barron Trump?"
Barron turned 16 in March 2022, and little is known about his life or interests aside from
the fact the growing boy reportedly enjoys sports and forgoes social media entirely.
"He's all into sport. So he's a great athlete."
Barron and his mom are incredibly close, with CNN pointing out they've
both retreated even further from the public eye since leaving the White
House and returning to Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where Barron attends a private high school.
Aside from sharing a desire to be left out of Donald's political aspirations going
forward, Barron and Melania also have something else very special in common.
Town & Country confirmed Barron is fluent in Slovenian, having learned his mother's
native tongue at a young age. Back in 2009, while attending the Met Gala,
Melania bragged to reporters that her son, who was around 3 years old at the time,
is actually multilingual. According to People magazine, Melania gushed
that Barron was a "very special" and quite talkative child. She explained,
"He talks three languages. He speaks my language — Slovenian — English and French."
According to Express, when Barron was just 4,
footage emerged of the youngster speaking with a strong Slovenian accent.
"I have to go to school now?... Yeah you will have lunch and
then you go to school… now I'm gonna go?... Yeah."
Melania admitted he picked it up through spending the majority of his time with her.
Although Barron has since lost his accent, in the book "Melania Trump — The Inside Story:
The Potential First Lady," one Slovenian journalist revealed the teenager likely speaks
Slovenian while speaking to Melania's sister. The journalist even claimed Barron could have
obtained Slovenian citizenship, solidifying his commitment to his second language.
Melania might be a former model, but Barron is considerably taller than her nowadays — with
photos published by the New York Post in 2021 showcasing the teenager's impressive
6-foot-7-inch frame. Barron, who was then just 15 years old, noticeably towered over his mother.
"He's a rather tall young man. He's tall."
Former president Donald Trump reportedly stands at
6-foot-3-inches — though his actual height has been disputed many times,
according to The Guardian — but even he's in awe of his youngest child's stature.
"Barron is 6-foot-7, can you believe it? And he's 15."
Trump then jokingly compared Barron's height to that of one of his other children.
"And Eric is short — he's only 6-foot-6."
Barron also loomed over his family at Ivana Trump's funeral in July 2022.
It's not surprising Melania and Barron share a common language and a consistently strong bond,
since the retired model notably told Parenting,
"I am a full time mom; that is my first job. The
most important job ever. I started my business when he started school."
In fact, according to People mag, the Trumps opted not to have nannies in Barron's early years,
with both parents emphasizing the importance of being physically present for him.
"Barron Trump. A legend."
