Barron Trump has a bright future ahead of him. He’s at a great advantage because he
has attended top schools. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s the son of the president
of the United States. Barron has plenty of resources at his disposal and connections
that will help him get far. As a result, he will likely have many choices when it comes
to a career. Here’s a list of jobs we think Barron Trump
might hold one day and the one job we think he’s most likely to have.
This is a possibility for Barron. Plenty of
first kids have gone on to have successful media careers. One former White House kid
who is now a TV regular is Jenna Bush Hager. She works as a correspondent for the Today
show as well as editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine. In addition, Lara Trump,
Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, hosts Real News Update, a weekly webcast focused on sharing
news about Donald Trump’s accomplishments.
Melania told Parenting magazine Barron has
his own floor in Manhattan’s Trump Tower. She said he was in charge of decorating his
space in the penthouse. Melania and Donald allowed Barron the freedom to decorate his
rooms however he pleased. Although he has permission to freely decorate, Barron doesn’t
like to have patterned bedsheets. He prefers sheets without designs. “He does not like
covers with airplanes or cars on them. He likes clean and white,” said Melania.
In the same interview, Melania Trump mentioned
Barron is very interested in helicopters and airplanes. He likes them so much he chose
to incorporate images of helicopters and airplanes into the design of his living space. He has
a great interest in flight, but as mentioned above, he would rather not have planes on
his bedsheets.
Barron expressed an interest in art early
on. Since his parents gave him lots of space to be creative, he took advantage of it. Melania
said that Barron has pictures and art in his playroom. His creativity even boiled over
to the point where began drawing on the walls. Most parents would be angry about this behavior,
but Melania says she tries to encourage him. ‘When he was smaller he started drawing
on the walls. His imagination is growing and important. He draws on the walls in his playroom,
we can paint it over. One day he was playing bakery and he wrote Barron’s Bakery on the
wall with crayons. He is very creative, if you say to a child ‘no, no, no,’ where
does the creativity go?’, Melania said.
A career in architecture could be in store
for the first son. Barron also spends time putting things together. The first lady said
he enjoys building large structures from Magna-Tiles and Legos.
“Sometimes we play together and build cities or airports using Magna-Tiles and Legos. He
builds big projects. It is very special what he does. He has a big imagination and it’s
very impressive,” Melania said.
Law seems to be a favorite among former first
children. For example, Jimmy Carter’s eldest son Jack Carter worked as a lawyer during
the time his father was in office. He graduated from the University of Georgia law school
1975. A recent example of a first child entering law is Tiffany Trump. She began her studies
at Georgetown Law in 2017.
It’s no secret that Donald Trump is a fan
of golf. As a result, he’s passing his love for the game on to Barron. Melania said that
Donald and Barron sometimes golf together. She also said Barron wants to be like his
dad and become a businessman and a golfer. Said Melania: “They have a beautiful relationship
full of respect and love. New York is our home base, but we spend a lot of time in Mar-a-Lago.
There they play golf, spend time together, eat dinner together, and we enjoy family time.”
Barron is also a big soccer fan. In 2017 he
had the opportunity to play a pickup game with D.C. United during the annual White House
Easter Egg roll. Apparently, Barron knows a lot about soccer and has an interest in
learning more about the game. United forward Patrick Mullins spoke with
The Washington Post about Barron’s enthusiasm and knowledge. “He was very knowledgeable
about soccer, knew about D.C. United and was interested to know more. Little kid, to have
a passion for the game, and to be knowledgeable and have a conversation with us, it makes
me feel good about kids growing up playing the game,” said Mullins.
Becoming a published author is another career
that might suit Donald’s youngest son. Another Trump child, Ivanka, already has two books
under her belt. Her first book, published in 2010, is titled The Trump Card: Playing
to Win in Work and Life. Ivanka’s second book, published in 2017, is titled Women Who
Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success.
Barron was seen practicing his photography
skills recently. After a family trip, he used his phone to take a photo of Marine One. Donald
and Melania decided to take Barron on a Father’s Day weekend trip to Camp David. This is a
government-owned retreat site in the Maryland-based Catoctin Mountains.
If Barron decides to become a teacher, he
will be following the path of former first daughter Jenna Bush Hager. She worked at Elsie
Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School in Washington, D.C. during the time
her father was in office. She taught third grade. Hager received positive feedback on
her teaching skills. “Being a first-year teacher is one of the hardest jobs a person
can have. She was a fantastic first-year teacher,” executive director Linda R. Moore said.
Melania made sure Barron knew how to speak
more than just English. As a result, he is fluent in Slovenian and is learning French.
His language skills could help him land a job as an ambassador. Melania also knows several
languages. Besides English, she is fluent in German, Slovenian, French, and Serbian.
The sky’s the limit for Barron Trump. His
parents make sure to remind him he can do anything he puts his mind to. Melania told
People magazine she encourages Barron to try new things. If he follows after some of the
past first children, one of those new things could be activism. Lynda Bird Johnson Robb,
eldest daughter of former president Lyndon Baines Johnson, chaired the President’s
Advisory Committee for Women, which assisted with former president Jimmy Carter’s mission
to promote gender equality.
Perhaps Barron will become president one day.
Watching his father carry out his daily duties could possibly give him a desire to lead the
country. If Barron does become president, he will follow in the footsteps of two sets
of father-son presidents in the United States. John Adams became the second U.S. president
from 1797-1801 and his son John Quincy Adams became the 6th U.S. president from 1825-1829.
Former President George H.W. Bush became the United States’ 41st president. A few years
later, his son, George W. Bush became the 43rd president of the United States.
Barron might have some competition from Ivanka Trump, however. The book Fire and Fury claims
the first daughter might be thinking about a presidential bid.
We wouldn’t be surprised if Barron decided
to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship seems to run in the Trump family. Donald owns
many businesses, including hotels, golf courses, real estate, and more, so Barron might become
interested in running a business or two. Ivanka got bitten by the business bug, and launched
a jewelry and fashion line, so let’s see if Barron follows suit.
