Due to his stature, Donald encouraged his son to pursue basketball.
Now that Barron’s 18 years old, a pediatric anesthesiologist toldThe List that he’s probably done growing.
“He’s so smart,” Tyson enthused to “PBD Podcast.”
“This guy is on top of his game intellectually.”
Tyson isn’t the only person in the Donald’s circle to comment on Barron’s intelligence.
“[V]ery kind and humble and empathetic and smart.”
Since he was a young child, Barron has demonstrated a proclivity for languages.
He became fluent in Slovenian by practicing with his maternal grandmother and aunt.
And languages aren’t the only area in which Barron reportedly excels, either.
“He’s a genius with computers,” Donald explained to a crowd in Las Vegas in 2020.
Two years later, Donald highlighted a rather startling aspect of Barron’s skills.
As far as education goes, Barron has attended multiple private schools over the years.
He’s on track to graduate in 2024 from Florida’s Oxbridge Academy.
After that, it’s unclear what his post-secondary education will encompass, or what school he will select.
However, Donald did mention that his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, was under consideration.
“He’s a great athlete,” Melania Trump informedABC Newsin 2016.
While Donald supported his son’s athletic pursuits,he didn’t want Barron to try football.
Luckily for his father, Barron prefers soccer.
In 2017, Barron played in a youth league affiliated with D.C. United.
Trump also encouraged his son by inviting D.C. United players to the White House at Easter and Christmas.
Barron was able to meet some of his heroes and chat with them.
In addition, Barron impressed the pros with his understanding of the sport.
“He was very knowledgeable about soccer,” D.C. United’s Patrick Mullins commented toThe Washington Postin 2017.
