00:00From his impossible height to speculations about his impending return to the White House,
00:05Barron has been all over social media lately. And one new picture shows something we've
00:09rarely seen before.
00:11"'Barron Trump.' This is the first time he's ever done this. Barron."
00:16Whenever the camera has been on Barron Trump, the past and future first child has sometimes
00:20looked like he'd rather be anywhere else but where he's being photographed at. In fact,
00:25Barron's often serious and at times downright miserable expression in some of his pictures
00:29has often been a point of discussion on social media. Some have theorized that Barron simply
00:33isn't as comfortable with fame as his father, President-elect Donald Trump. As one Reddit
00:38user reasoned,
00:39"'Maybe the kid doesn't like being in the spotlight.'"
00:41Others quipped that Barron's own family was the source of his moody looks. One comment
00:46in particular pointed out that Melania often has a similar expression when she's out in
00:50front of the cameras. One person said,
00:52"'The only smile I've ever seen on her was for a camera then immediately goes back to
00:56lemon pucker.'"
00:58But Barron recently relaxed his poker face when he met Nigel Farage, a British politician
01:02who's an avid Donald Trump supporter. Farage posted a picture of himself and Barron on
01:06X, formerly known as Twitter, celebrating Donald's victory. But the real takeaway from
01:11the photo is that Barron is actually, gasp, smiling. He's showing teeth and all, which
01:16might be the happiest he's looked on camera in a while. Barron certainly has a lot to
01:20be happy about with his father recently winning the election. Either that, or the youngest
01:24Trump child was just really excited about taking a picture with Farage.
01:28Despite the more stoic face Barron Trump has been known to put on for the press, there
01:32are times when the camera has caught glimpses of the NYU student's less serious side. When
01:37Donald Trump sat down to sign his first executive order in 2017, Barron famously stole the show
01:42in the background when playing peekaboo with his baby nephew, Theodore Trump. Barron was
01:47only 10 years old at the time and hadn't yet gone through the growth spurt that would see
01:50him dwarf even his father. Still, the camera managed to catch the rare human moment between
01:55the Trump family that melted hearts everywhere.
01:58Not too long ago, Barron also did something pretty rare when he accepted a standing ovation
02:02at his father's rally in July 2024. Granted, Donald, while on stage, mentioned his son
02:07during the speech, which prompted the celebratory response.
02:10You're pretty popular. He might be more popular than Don and Eric.
02:15But Barron played into it, standing up from his seat and waving at his father's supporters
02:19while offering them a tiny smirk of recognition. Although he still seemed a bit uncomfortable
02:24in the spotlight, it was clear he appreciated the praise. In any case, there's enough evidence
02:28of Barron loosening up to show he can have a much lighter personality. His more reserved
02:33public image might simply be the case of a growing teenager repeatedly thrust out of
02:37his comfort zone.
