Barron Trump is that Gen Z son of Donald Trumpthe former President of the United States and the Republican nominee in 2024 Presidential electionand Melania Trump. Born on March 20, 2006, he is Donald's fifth and youngest child and Melania's only child.

Unlike other children of the former president, the 18-year-old led a private and elusive life that is rarely seen at public events. But this year it was different. Although he wasn't actively campaigning in the run-up to the presidential election, Barron was an “unofficial advisor” on podcast appearances for his father – and he was successful at it. Accordingly ABC News“Trump's interview on streamer Adin Ross' show has received more than 2.6 million views since August 5. His appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von has received over 14 million views since August 20th. His interview on Flagrant has received more than 2.6 million views 5.7 million views since October 9th and his chat on the PBD Podcast has accumulated over 2.7 million views since October 17.” Barron became his father's gateway to a younger audience. “As a member of Generation Z, Barron – the youngest of Trump's three sons – was the one who introduced his 78-year-old.” “Father of this new medium,” a source close to Trump told ABC News.

Barron began attending New York University's Stern School of Business this fall.

Standing at 6'3″, Barron has caught the attention of many due to his good looks and social media platforms such as Instagram are filled with his fan pages. According to his father, Barron owes his impressive height to the food he ate, prepared by his late grandmother, Melania's mother Amalija Knavs.

Barron's name was chosen by his father. At an appearance in The Oprah Winfrey ShowDonald had said: “It's a name I've always loved, but I've never had the courage to use it.” I gave Melania the idea, and in the end I wanted to take her back with me. She said, 'You can't take it away!' I called him Barron while he was in my stomach and you just can't take that away!'”

His mother Melania is from Slovenia and therefore Barron is bilingual – he can speak both English and Slovenian.
