A touching video from 2010 has resurfaced, offering a rare look into Donald Trump’s fatherly side.
In the clip, a four-year-old Barron appears alongside his father on Larry King’s CNN talk show.
Donald, then known as “The Donald” from The Apprentice, shares heartfelt advice with his young son, asking for a goodbye kiss before setting expectations:
“I want all As,” he says, referring to Barron’s grades.
“And when you get older, no drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes… and no tattoos. I don’t ever want to see tattoos on you.”
Barron, holding a tiny briefcase, chats with his mother, Melania, before heading off to lunch and school.
His father lightheartedly remarks that Barron is off to learn “reading, writing, and arithmetic.”
Lessons Rooted in Family Tragedy
The elder Trump’s guidance stems from personal loss.
His older brother, Fred Trump Jr., succumbed to alcoholism—a tragedy that deeply shaped Donald’s views on substance use.
Donald has frequently shared how Fred’s struggles influenced his decision to avoid alcohol entirely, a choice he’s proudly upheld throughout his life.
Reflecting on his brother’s advice, Donald shared with the New York Times: “Fred would tell me, ‘Don’t drink ever.’ He understood the problem he had, and it was very hard.”
Barron Trump: A Quiet Yet Impactful Presence
Fast forward to today, Barron Trump, now 18, is carving out his own identity.
Standing at an impressive 6’9”, the NYU business student is a far cry from the young boy seen in the video.
Despite his low public profile, Barron has quietly influenced his father’s campaign strategy.
He played a pivotal role in advising Donald on engaging younger audiences, particularly by encouraging appearances on popular podcasts such as those hosted by Adin Ross and Joe Rogan.
Barron’s involvement even extends to innovative ventures like cryptocurrency.
Reports suggest he was instrumental in his father’s decision to launch a cryptocurrency business, tapping into the interests of younger voters.
Public Fascination and Political Speculation
Barron’s rare public appearances, such as his introduction at a rally in Florida earlier this year, often spark online fascination.
His towering height and poised demeanor have fueled comparisons to historical figures like Alexander the Great.
Despite his limited visibility, the youngest Trump has quickly become a favorite among his father’s supporters.
There’s even speculation that Donald Trump might involve Barron more directly in his political endeavors, though Melania reportedly dislikes the idea of her son entering the political fray so early.
Known for her preference to shield Barron from the spotlight, she has spoken of his strong will and independence.
A Future in Politics?
Though still early in his journey, Barron Trump’s growing presence hints at a future in politics.
His quiet yet impactful influence on his father’s campaign and his ability to captivate public interest suggest he may follow in the family’s footsteps.
For now, he balances his roles as a college student and an emerging figure in the Trump legacy.
Whether he steps into politics or carves out his own path, Barron’s story is one that continues to unfold.
