Source Shares Story On Barron Trump's 'Lonely' Childhood From Melania Trump's Former Assistant

There are many members of the Trump family who are in the spotlight right now, but through the years, one of the more elusive members remains the president's youngest child, Barron Trump, his only son with Melania Trump.

 

At 20 years old, the world is getting to know him a bit more, especially after the news broke about his college education, his plan to study business at NYU, etc. Seeing him make more public appearances has also had social media users sparking curiosity about his childhood, and people with inside scoop are ready to talk about it.

 

Content creator Emily Weis recently took to TikTok to share a story she heard from an alleged former assistant of Melania Trump, whom she knows through a family friend who previously worked as an intern for Lindsey Graham before landing a job as an assistant to the first lady during Trump's first term as president.

 

"She told me this particular thing about Barron," Weis began in her video before claiming that while being given a tour of the White House by the former assistant, she learned that the NYU student liked to spend a lot of time on the lawn next to the East Colonnade, which is located near the Oval Office.

 

"Barron likes to spend a lot of time out there," she continued. "Mostly, he plays Fortnite, goes to school, and then he'll go out in this grassy area and tap around a soccer ball, or just do sports. He's always trying to get his dad's attention out there."

In addition to hanging out by himself in the White House during his father's first term, the content creator explained that he had an overall "sad" vibe in the eyes of his mother's assistant.

 

Reflecting on Trump's first term, the assistant claimed the youngest son of the president was often trying to get his attention or bond with his father, who was always "super busy" and "didn't spend a lot of time" with him. Emily claims the assistant said that Barron overall had a "sad and lonely" vibe about him, especially due to his complicated upbringing.

 

"Half of the country hates him because of who his father is," she added. "His mom's not around a lot...they don't make a lot of time for family time....He was basically ignored and kind of taken care of by like, one or two guys who managed his schedule."

 

The assistant also allegedly said that Melania was "the only parent" to really spend any time with Barron, and that he "doesn't have a relationship" with his dad.

 

"Until [Barron] became politically useful for him," she continued. "Typical narcissistic behavior."
