00:00As the Trump family arrived in Washington, D.C. for Inauguration Day, Trump's son Barron
00:04grabbed the attention of millions. But what made him stand out this time if it wasn't
00:08his height?
00:09On January 20th, 2025, the Trump family gathered together for the second presidential inauguration
00:14of President Donald J. Trump. Donald Trump was seen chatting with his vice president,
00:18J.D. Vance, and his wife, Usha Vance. However, those three could only hold your attention
00:22for so long before your eyes moved to Barron Trump.
00:25America has witnessed Barron's dramatic transformation over the years, from a young boy to a striking,
00:29striking adult. But the president's son is still working out his style, and his greased-up
00:34do is certainly not his Sunday best.
00:36Honestly, Barron's new hairstyle looks like he just discovered The Sopranos for the first
00:40time. He could have even been mistaken for Donald's head of security, as his slicked-back
00:44hair matures him quite a bit more than his fluffy brown coiffed style does. A darker,
00:48more structured hairstyle makes him look like he could be a part of his father's administration,
00:52and it's certainly a change from his usual look.
00:55In fact, Barron Trump has grown up a lot since his father was first elected. When Donald
00:59Trump was sworn into office for the first time on January 20, 2017, Barron Trump was
01:04only 10 years old — just a child.
01:06Congratulations.
01:07Eight years later, Barron is a towering 6'9", well surpassing his 6'3'' father. It's a stature
01:16that's created some difficulty for the usually private Barron, not to mention some veiled
01:20jealousy from his father. Now a college student attending New York University, he's immediately
01:25recognizable, which nixes Barron's dream of a low-key freshman year.
01:29Not only does Barron stand out physically, but he's also proven himself in politics,
01:33making decisions for his father that positively impacted his presidential campaign. While
01:37Barron's reported political views hint he's not totally Team Dad, his suggestions for
01:41Donald's interviews on the campaign trail, including on popular podcasts, were maneuvers
01:45that led his father to Inauguration Day.
01:47I was on The View many, many times, and they loved me.
01:52As Barron Trump reclaims his title as first son, it's easy to wonder what his future looks
01:56like now that Donald Trump is president again. As a freshman in college, Barron has to choose
02:00whether he will give up living in Manhattan and join his father in the White House or
02:04continue his life in the Big Apple. His mother, Melania, hints that Barron has no interest
02:08living in the White House. It seems like Barron has more autonomy in his decision now that
02:12he is an adult, which Melania says she wants to respect. For now, it appears the college
02:16student will be staying put in New York.
02:18While his political future might be uncertain, Barron Trump is still making his mark in the
02:23Though Barron may be many miles away from his father, it's obvious he's been influenced
02:27by his father's success — as a businessman, that is. According to Newsweek, Barron and
02:31a few associates launched a real estate company under the name Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital
02:35Inc. in July 2024. Though the company was disassembled in November for the sake of not
02:40distracting from Trump's return to power, they have plans to relaunch later this year,
02:44according to Newsweek. That being said, it seems pretty certain that Barron is intent
02:48on following in his father's footsteps.
