At just 16 years old and standing at 200.6cm (six foot seven), he has demonstrated his individuality in various ways. For instance, he is a skilled computer user and has even been called a computer whizz by his father, whom he once hacked.

Barron Trump has proven independent and unafraid to challenge his father.

At CPAC in February, Donald bragged to the audience about his son’s superior technological talent. He revealed that Barron had even logged onto his computer without permission.

Donald has spoken about Barron’s IT brilliance before.

There is no love lost between Donald and Barron. 

ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl shared some insight into Donald’s relationship with his teenage son Barron as he promoted his book Betrayal. In November 2021, the final act of the Trump Show took place.

On CNN’s New Day, Karl revealed that when he was the head of the White House Correspondents Association, Donald compared him to his son and reenacted a conversation between the two.     

Karl explained in his book about the 2020 encounter. In her book Rigged, Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway revealed that during a debate, Donald Trump compared the author’s lack of enthusiasm about his possible appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner to his teenage son Barron’s reluctance to express his love for him.

Barron, who was only 14 years old at the time, did not approve of his father’s conduct during the 2020 presidential debate with Joe Biden.

The then-president constantly spoke over the former Vice President of the United States, forcing moderator Chris Wallace to quell the chaos. Additionally, the White House was a no-show.

Barron’s desire to establish his identity and distance himself from his parents’ reputations is evident in his absence during his family’s departure from the White House.

Despite residing there, he did not join his siblings, Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany, for the public farewell ceremony or walk across the South Lawn to board Marine One.

The next move is up to Barron.

Melania described Barron as a mini Donald. She said he is ‘all into sport.’ However, they have different athletic preferences. The former president enjoys golfing with his friends and watching American football. He is reluctant to let his son play due to the threat of injuries. On the other hand, Barron has different interests.

Barron has shown interest in football instead of attending games with his father, a role Melania has publicly taken. It doesn’t seem like he has bonded with his dad over athletic activities.
