Barron William Trump, born on March 20, 2006, is the youngest child of President Donald J. Trump and the only child from his marriage to First Lady Melania Trump. Unlike most members of the Trump family, Barron has maintained a low profile during his father’s campaigns and presidency, though he has appeared at certain public events with his family.
Early Life
Barron Trump was born in New York City and grew up in Trump Tower, Manhattan. He attended Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School. He is multilingual, fluent in English and Slovenian, thanks to his mother’s heritage.
Life in the White House
After Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, Barron initially stayed in New York with his mother to finish the school year before moving to the White House in 2017. Barron became the first male presidential child to live in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. in the 1960s. While he attended certain events with his family, he was largely shielded from the public eye.
Education
After Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, Barron attended St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, an elite private school in Maryland, during his father’s presidency. Following Donald Trump’s departure from office in 2020, Barron enrolled at Oxbridge Academy, a private college-preparatory school in West Palm Beach, Florida, graduating in 2024. He is now studying at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
Political Views
Barron has consistently avoided the political spotlight. Although supportive of his father’s presidential campaigns, little is known about his personal views. In May 2024, he was invited to serve as a Florida delegate at the Republican National Convention but declined. Nevertheless, Donald Trump credited him with helping to appeal to younger voters during the 2024 election. Barron was photographed voting for his father and appeared on stage during Donald Trump’s victory speech on election night.
Height
Barron is widely recognized for his height. Throughout his upbringing, observers noted his rapid growth. Donald Trump recently shared that Barron stands at 6 feet 7 inches, making him the tallest member of the Trump family.
