Throughout Trump’s presidency, some critics mocked Barron’s appearance and height. However, he found solace in soccer, joining the Under-12 division of DC United and impressing with his knowledge of the sport. Barron also developed interests in sneakers and computers, with Donald claiming during a press conference that on one occasion when he’d been locked out of his laptop, Barron was able to quickly unlock it.
Barron, much younger than his siblings, shares a close bond with Donald’s youngest daughter, Tiffany, and speaks fluent Slovenian, his mother’s native language. Melania’s parents, Viktor and the late Amalija Knavs, were instrumental in his upbringing, moving to the U.S. to be close to Barron. Insiders describe Barron as shy and reserved, inheriting his mother’s personality.
