Barron Trump towered over his parents at dad Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington, DC, Monday.
The 6-foot-9 teenager, who is a freshman at New York University, stood stoically behind his parents while his father was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.
The 18-year-old’s height was particularly striking as he flanked mom Melania Trump — who wore a custom navy coat by Adam Lippes and a matching boater hat by Eric Javits — on stage.
Barron was joined by his half-siblings — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump — as well as his nieces and nephews, other family members and celebrities including Jeff Bezos and the Paul brothers.
Melania, 54, recently revealed that she and her only child with Donald, 78, would be living part-time at the White House during his second presidency.
FLOTUS shared on “Fox & Friends” last week that she and the college student plan to divide their time between DC, New York City and the family’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla.
“I will be in the White House. And when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach,” she explained.
“But my first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife, and once we are in on Jan. 20, you serve the country.”
Nicknamed the “Winter White House,” Mar-a-Lago has been Donald’s primary residence since 2019 after raising Barron — the youngest of his five children — at his Trump Tower triplex penthouse in Midtown Manhattan.
Melania noted that Barron, who is enrolled at NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business, will “come visit” 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as often as he wants and is even allowed to bring friends over.
“I feel that children — we have them ’til they are, like, 18, 19 years old. We teach them, we guide them and then we give them the wings to fly,” she said.
“And I always respect Barron’s ‘yes’ and ‘no’ and what he likes to do, where he would like to be.”
As for the teen, he’s reportedly “a ladies’ man” and “really popular with the ladies” at NYU.
“He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive — yes, even liberal people like him,” a source told People last month.
When Barron arrived on campus in September 2024, he was flanked by security guards as he headed to classes on his first day.
Melania later explained on “Fox & Friends” that her son simply can’t have a “normal” college experience.
“I don’t think it’s possible for him to be a normal student. His experience at college — it’s very different than any other kid,” she shared.
“I’m very proud [of] how he’s handling [it]. He’s very strong, and he knows that he’s in a different position than other children.”
The former model — who was born in Slovenia — went on to gush over how her “grown young man” has “knowledge” about politics and even gave “advice to his father” when he was running for president the third time around. (Donald previously served as the 45th POTUS from 2017 to 2021.)
“He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation,” Melania said of Barron.
“It was incredible how he brought in success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact.”
