Born on March 20, 2006, in Manhattan, Barron is the only child of Melania Trump and Donald Trump. From the beginning, his upbringing differed sharply from that of many political children. Melania took on the primary role in raising him, and by nearly every account, she did so with an almost singular focus on discipline, manners, and restraint.
Despite being born into immense wealth and global attention, Barron was not raised to perform for the public. Melania has said repeatedly that her priority was giving her son as normal a childhood as possible under highly abnormal circumstances. That meant limiting media exposure, insisting on privacy, and emphasizing personal responsibility over privilege.
