Barron Trump has pretty much been kept out of the spotlight by his mom, Melania, ever since he was born. Now that heโs 19, though, the dynamics have shifted a bit. But even so, his parents handle things in their own ways. A body language pro is breaking down the clear contrast between how Donald and Melania approach raising their kid.
Barronโs had this one-of-a-kind upbringing. Sure, it came with all the perksโlike tales of him having a whole floor in Trump Tower just for himselfโbut his dadโs mega-fame made a regular kid life tough to pull off.
Things got even more intense when Donald snagged the presidency the first time around; staying under the radar wasnโt exactly easy for Barron. These days, as heโs kicking off his second year at NYU Sternโs business school campus in D.C., heโs got Secret Service trailing him everywhere.
So much of Barron Trumpโs world has stayed private. Melaniaโs done everything she can to keep the media and crowds at bay, and even at 19, sheโs still playing that protective role.
For ages, you hardly ever saw Barron out and about. But once Donald clinched his second term as president, that flipped. On Inauguration Day, Barron kinda ended up grabbing the attention away from his dad.
Everyone knows Melaniaโs been the main one hands-on with Barron. But just how do the President and First Ladyโs parenting vibes differ? Body language expert Judi James says itโs night and day.
What Donald and Melaniaโs Gestures Say About Raising Barron, Per the Expert
In a chat with The Mirror, James pointed out that Donald seems all about thrusting Barron into the limelight, while Melaniaโs more about guarding him from it.
โDonaldโs body language around Barron screams โproud dadโโlike that Lion King moment where heโs showing off his cub to everyone, implying the kidโs just like him,โ James explained to The Mirror. She noted Melaniaโs style is way more about wrapping him up safe.
She added, โMelaniaโs got these wrapping and holding moves that show sheโs all about protection and careโlike her arm around him in that early pic where heโs leaning in, or using both hands to gently guide and hold him back as he starts walking in the later shots.โ
James highlighted how Donald sticks to this consistent โsignatureโ pose with Barron, which screams pride and full backing for his son.
Donaldโs Got โTotal Trustโ in Barron
โAs Barron grows up, Donald positions him right in front, hands on both shouldersโlike a stamp of approval and pride. It lets young Barron mirror his dadโs straight-back, legs-apart stance,โ she wrapped up.
โAnd once Barron shoots up taller and those steadying hands drop away, it looks like Donaldโs giving him space to do his own thing, showing real confidence in him.โ
