Politics isn’t for the faint of heart.
Anyone who’s ever set foot in the White House will tell you that for free.
When Trump assumed the presidency in 2016, his son was just 10 years old.
It’s a lot for anyone to deal with, let alone a preteen.
Now 17 and on the cusp of adulthood, how have these challenges affected him?
And more importantly, will they have a lasting impact?
Let’s take a look at the tragic life of Barron Trump.
However, Barron Trump’s father thought he would give it a pass.
“I think it’s easier for Melania if I’m not there,” he said.
“And his reaction was … at first he needed to take it in.”
Plus, there’s all that love that they have to give.
Fred Trump (pictured far right) was an avid businessman.
I love my mom and she loved me."
Sadly, she would never get to see her youngest grandson.
She died a year after her husband.
The then-10-year-old youngster had to say goodbye to everything he knew, including his school and friends.
No matter where he went, Secret Service agents would follow him.
“He does love New York and he loves his school.
Not so much living in the White House.”
Dealing with that kind of vitriol can’t have been easy, especially when it made headlines.
Katie Rich tweeted a joke that said he “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter.”
Some found this hilarious, but others found it incredibly offensive.
This wasn’t necessarily the only time that Trump was targeted, either.
For many kids, their parents are their safe space.
But when you’re Barron Trump, these norms don’t apply.
Rumors have swirled for years about whether the pair are truly happy.
The author went on to suggest that the billionaire could even have her deported.
Other publications and media outlets love to raise questions about the relationship, too.
These may sound like impressive roles, but this hasn’t saved her from scrutiny.
The speculation continued after her role ended, too.
For Barron Trump, being part of this dynasty must be overwhelming.
Rarely has a day gone by in recent years without a negative headline about some member of his family.
It’s so prevalent that his parents must find shielding him from it impossible no matter how they try.
While a nasty headline or joke can be hurtful enough, these problems can sometimes get much more serious.
She went on to state that she would “slam a bullet” into the young heir’s head.
Politics evokes a passionate response, but inciting violence against anyone let alone an innocent child is never okay.
An insider also toldPeople, “Remember, Melania is a mom with a not-yet-adult son to protect.”
Three years on, Donald Trump has been indicted four times.
But it begs the question, does his young son feel the same way?
No matter what, Donald Trump is his father, and he isn’t a spring chicken anymore.
His family’s stint in the White House changed everything, setting his life on a different course.
