Being The First Son Of The President May Seem Amazing But It Has It's Difficulties

Barron Trump takes after his father. As a headstrong teen determined to become a businessman, “Little Donald” may grow up taking after his father. Despite his father’s willingness to put Barron in the spotlight, mother Melania insists on her son’s privacy, making young Barron the subject of internet speculation. What we do know is that Trump’s fourteen year-old son lives a life of luxury, enjoys golf and is even considered to be a “Little Donald”. What we do know about the only child of Donald’s third marriage is he grew up in the Trump Tower penthouse in NYC, where he had an entire floor to himself, and attended an expensive private school. After moving to Washington following his father’s election, Barron became the first son of a president to live in the White House since JFK. Barron is trilingual, speaking his father’s native English, his mother’s native Slovenian, and French, taking on bilingualism as early as age three. The youngest Trump takes after his father with his reportedly stubborn personality, and in his career aspirations. Mother Melania claims he decided at age five that he wanted to pursue a career in business, and his plan B is to become a professional golfer. The teen loves sports, prefers suits over sweatpants, and shares his mother’s interest in upscale fashion. It’s hard to tell what's next for Donald Trump's adolescent son, but it’s likely to include golf.
