Barron Trump’s surprising personality trait revealed as he celebrates 19th birthday

Barron Trump is thought to be different to his outspoken father.

Since his father Donald Trump entered the Oval Office for his second term, Barron Trump has been pushed into the spotlight more than ever.

Barron Trump isn’t hard to miss, as he towers above his father at six foot seven, but he’s kept a largely quiet life and isn’t one for public speaking like Donald Trump.

In fact, the 19-year-old is thought to be hugely different from his dad, not just due to his different choice of where to study.

Barron is currently a freshman at New York University (NYU), which was a different move to his siblings and his old man, who all chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown instead.

Yet it isn’t just where he’s studying that makes him different to his father; he’s also thought to have a softer personality to Donald’s buoyant persona.

A source speaking to PEOPLE described the 19-year-old as ‘an old soul who is smart, well-spoken and well-read’.

They added: “He has lived through experiences others his age haven’t. He is well-grounded, he has seen a lot and he knows who he is.”

Another source told the outlet: “He isn’t as aggressive as many of his age when they are in their own social circles. He is someone who listens before talking, and is super polite.”

While his father is a huge political figure, and even prior to becoming US president for a second time, he was rarely out of the spotlight, for Barron it’s a different story.

He’s been the center of increased attention since his father’s campaign. In a rally last July, Donald told the crowd who cheered for Barron: “You’re pretty popular, he might be more popular than Don and Eric.

“So Barron, it’s good to have you. [He’s] had such a nice, easy life. Now, it’s a little bit changed.”

In spite of his father’s huge position within US politics, Barron does try to take a backseat and was notably absent during his dad’s first speech to Congress earlier this year. He’s also not likely to appear at any future events his father makes, and with good reason.

Barron, who lives in New York in Trump Tower, is currently a freshman at NYU and will be busy attending classes, so he’ll be unable to make as many public appearances.

Barron is currently studying and attending classes at New York University’s Stern School of Business since September, having graduated from Florida’s Oxbridge Academy in May.

Yet, his college experience isn’t likely to be the same as others in their first year of studies.

In an interview, Barron’s mother Melania revealed that her son isn’t like others, as she said last year: “I don’t think it’s possible for him to be a normal student. His experience at college — it’s very different than any other kid.”

Melania has generally kept Barron away from the spotlight as much as possible, as she explained to Fox News: “I feel that children, when they reach 18 or 19 years old, we teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly. I always respect Barron’s yes and no – what he likes to do and where he wants to be.”

She went on to call her son an ‘incredible young man’, adding: “I’m very proud of what he grew up to. His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness. It’s admirable.”

Barack Obama addresses ‘marriage woes’ with wife Michelle in surprising comment

The former president got candid in a rare moment when talking about his relationship

Barack Obama has made a rare confession about his marriage troubles with his wife Michelle Obama.

The former First Lady previously spoke out about rumors that her marriage to Barack Obama was on the rocks in July, disclosing that it was a load of tosh.

Michelle got married with the former Democrat POTUS in 1992, and they have been going strong ever since.

Still, as she was notably absent from some high-profile events, including President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January and the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, speculation about the state of their marriage ran rife.

The Becoming Netflix star previously slammed divorce rumors on a variety of podcasts, and once was heard stating that ‘everyone would know’ if they were separating during an appearance on The Diary of a CEO.

“If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it,” she told Steven Bartlett, adding: “I would be problem solving in public. I’m not a martyr.”

On her own podcast, IMO, she shared that she didn’t attend Trump’s inauguration for a personal decision that was met with ‘ridicule and criticism’.

“People couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any other reason. They had to assume that my marriage was falling apart,” she declared.

For his part, Obama has been largely silent on his marriage, but sh0ckingly, he has now admitted to ‘digging’ himself ‘out of [a] hole’ after they left the White House.

“I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself with Michelle,” the former President told historian David Olusoga at the O2 Arena in London on Wednesday, per the Daily Mail.

“Now I’m at about level ground,” he admitted.

This comes after he revealed in April his work as POTUS from 2009 to 2017 affected their relationship.

“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” he said to Hamilton College president Steven Tepper. “So I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.”

In 2023, Obama said leaving the White House allowed him to ‘have a little more time with her.’

As for his wife, Michelle Obama revealed that she struggled with some things, but now she’s taking time for herself.

“That’s the thing that we as women struggle with —-disappointing people,” she said to Sophia Bush on her Work in Progress podcast in April this year.

“So much so that people, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing,” she added.

She made a decision to take herself away from the spotlight, but quietly expressed her love for her family in other ways- like on Father’s Day.

According to Michelle, her husband has ‘always been there’ for the family as she penned: “I love looking back at photos like this of when our girls were younger.

“@BarackObama has always been there for us no matter what — even when it felt like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. We’ve always been so grateful.

“To Barack and all the dads and father-figures celebrating today, Happy Father’s Day!”
