Barron Trump can once again call himself the son of the President of the United States. His father, Donald Trump, was sworn in as the 47th president on Monday, January 20, with Barron and the rest of his family present for the entire day. Of course, with Barron having enrolled in college last year, the 18-year-old likely had to return to his education soon after.
BarronĀ is often compared to his father, which is hard to avoid, considering heās the son of a two-time president. In recent years, the the first thing people have tended to notice is how incredibly tall he is, yet during inauguration day, speculation has drawn attention to something else.
Itās well known thatĀ Donald TrumpĀ has long applied some sort of bronzer to his face, giving it his iconic orange appearance. Now, the staggering question following the inauguration is if Barron has started to do the same.
Barron has a lot of experience in the White House. The now-18-year-old son of Donald andĀ Melania TrumpĀ lived with his parents at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue during his fatherās first presidential term. But now, things are different.
Barron, who was kept entirely out of the spotlight after leaving the White House, has enrolled at Stern Business School at New York University and, therefore, wonāt be living at the White House this time around. Melania, though, recently stated that her son is always welcome in Washington.
āObviously heāll have a bedroom there, but heās an adult, heās in college now. I think he will come and visit, yes,ā Melania told Fox, adding that sheād love it if heād bring friends.
āYeah, whatever he would like to do, yes. I feel that as children, we have them till they are 18, 19 years old. We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly. And I always respect Barronās yes and no, and what he likes to do, where he would like to be.ā
Barron has benefitted from Secret Service protection since leaving the White House, and the 18-year-old will continue to have agents around him as he studies at NYU. The federal law enforcement agency previously confirmed that Barron would receive protection, though it didnāt specify exactly how.
Barron Trump āalready has his own political ideas,ā says source
He will continue living at Trump Tower, and Melania herself has confirmed that she will be spending time in New York with her son. Several sources tell People Magazine that Melania āwill do everything she canā to support Barronās well-being and help him get good grades. Meanwhile, the 18-year-old will not get the āfull college experienceā by living in a dorm.
āLiving in a dorm in a college town isnāt in the stars for him at this point,ā a source toldĀ People. āBarron already has his own political ideas. It all needs to be monitored in light of the situation.ā
Another source told the news outlet that living at home is Barronās best option now.
āWhether or not others think he is capable of being on his own, Melania feels itās better to be around him as much as possible,ā that source said. āI see that continuing.ā
Melaniaās reason for being close to Barron doesnāt just involve supporting him in his early days at NYU. Two other sources toldĀ People MagazineĀ that his fatherās return to the White House as President of the United States has played a part.
āMelania worries about the hate in the country and how it falls on her son, who is innocent of any of this,ā the source said. āShe is and has been a good sounding board for him. They talk about life as it is and how they are in the spotlight,ā the source adds. āShe tries to normalize his life. If that is even possible.ā
Barron Trump praised by his father Donald on Inauguration Day
On Monday, Barron had to skip any classes he might have had, and he did so for an important reason. His father was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, and Barron was with him during the inauguration and for the celebrations at Nationwide Arena later that day.
In his speech to his supporters, Donald Trump praised his son for helping him win the election. The president asked the crowd if they had heard of his ātall son,ā to which they responded with loud cheers.
āHe knew the youth vote. You know we won the youth vote by 36 points,ā Trump said. āHe was saying, ādad, I got to go out and to this and that one and we did a lot of them. He respects them all, he understood it very well. He said ādad, you got to go out and do Joe Rogan, all these guys that we did. They were all great, right? Barron, they were all great.ā
Barron Trump andĀ Joe BidenāsĀ interaction spread like wildfire on the internet, with some reveling in the relative mystery of the encounter. Biden smiled as he interacted with Barron, but after they shared some words, his happy expression changed to a more solemn one. Social media users worldwide were dying to know what the presidentās son had said. Moreover, Barron was praised online for how he greeted Biden andĀ Kamala Harris.
āI was very impressed by that gesture and from someone so young. To go across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature thing to do. Good for Barron,ā one person wrote.
Body language expert says Barron Trump showed off āsuper-confidenceā
Another added: āSuch a good young manā¦ That gesture just tells you everything. Well done, Melania.ā
As per the Daily Mail, on TikTok, the video of Barron and Joe had been viewed over half a million times as of Wednesday. One person joked: āLooks like he said, āYouāre done.’ā
Speaking with the Daily Mail, body language expert and communications coach Judi James has another theory. She explained that Barron āvery confidentlyā and ācharminglyā bent to shake hands with Biden.
āAnd although Bidenās face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Bidenās face was registering the fact that heād finished his greeting ritual with Trumpās son,ā James said.
She added that Barronās humor and so-labeled āsuper-confidenceā have led people to misread what Donaldās son really couldāve said to Biden.
āWhen he was introduced by his father, he stood like a rock star acknowledging the cheers and chants of his name and even cupped his ear to increase them. Which is probably why people might assume (wrongly Iād say) that heās possibly making barbed comments on his way out here,ā James continued.
Did Barron Trump have a āfake tanā during the inauguration?
Moreover, James explained that Barron was āworking as a sweeperā during the inauguration, a role he frequently takes on when appearing with his father at any event.
āThis means he tends to arrive and leave behind his parents, but instead of just walking off behind them as he did when he was younger, he spends time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words,ā James continued, concluding by saying that ādefinesā Barronās presence and status without having to compete with his father.
āHe lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise. Biden had been on the receiving end of a flame-thrower speech from Trump, where he had sat in a variety of poses including pained deflation and bravado smiling as his entire four years in office were scorched to ashes.ā
Barron, as mentioned, is extremely tall, and his height is something that people. usually talk about following his appearance at events. At the inauguration, he was seen speaking with many people, but there was one detail regarding his appearance that is said to have left people baffled. Express US wrote that Barron was sporting a new āhealthy glow,ā with the Mirror even claiming Barron had a ābronzeā tan ā just like his father.
Why Donald Trump is wearing bronzer
When attending the church ceremony in St Johnās Episcopal Church on Monday, Barron was seen with bronzed cheekbones and a sparkling forehead, which many compared to Donald. Donald Trumpās orange face has been reported on for years. When the current president was younger, his face was paler because he didnāt wear bronzer.
So why did Donald start wearing bronzer to begin with? Speaking with theĀ Mirror, celebrity makeup artist Safia Cox claimed it could be related to his confidence levels.
āI think he uses some sort of fake tan or tinted moisturizer with a bronzer. I 100% do not think itās sun beds as it would be a completely different tone,ā Cox said.
āI think itās some sort of fake tan or some sort of tinted moisturizer with bronzer, and heās then used powder with it. Itās definitely some sort of cream product that he uses and has probably mattified it after because itās so orange. You can see the rim around his face. If you look closely at his hairline, itās very pale, and thatās not from sunbeds; heās slapping some sort of cream product on.ā
āHe has orange blindnessā
Cox guessed Trump has āsome sort of fake tan or some sort of tinted moisturizer with bronzer,ā which he then uses a powder to apply. She continued by explaining that close to his hairline, you can see that itās āvery pale.ā
āI think his makeup has changed over the years, and I think it as heās got older and potentially a little more insecure. The ever-changing orange hue has become the subject of many internet discussions and memes ā with people wondering why he likes to be so orange,ā Cox continued, concluding that some have argued that Trump uses more bronzer when stressed.
āHe has orange blindness or fake tan blindness, and I donāt think he realizes,ā the makeup expert told theĀ Mirror. āItās not a nice bronze, he doesnāt look like heās just hopped off a plane he just looks like heās layered on fake tan. Itās bizarre; heās either really insecure, and itās for confidence and thinking he looks good, or heās being clever and doing it to get people to talk about him.ā
