Melania Trump has made it her life’s calling to protect and support her son, Barron. Though the Slovenian-born model was — and will once again be — First Lady, she always put her son first. That said, when her husband returns to the White House for a second term, it appears that Melania won’t be by his side one hundred percent of the time.

Barron Trump has begun his college studies, enrolling at Stern Business School at New York University. Several other students have spoken on what it’s like to have the son of the President of the United States as their classmate, with the 18-year-old Barron receiving Secret Service protection everywhere he goes.

Melania has protected her son from media scrutiny ever since he was a young boy, and that’s not changed just because he has grown up. Now, one Republican politician has spoken out about Melania and Barron’s relationship, revealing exactly how far she will go if anyone tries to harm him.

Melania Trump is once again moving into the White House. In just a few days, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States and will immediately head to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to take up his second term in the Oval Office.

When Donald left the White House in 2020, Melania was reportedly done with politics. She and her husband, along with their son Barron, left Washington for their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where the latter enrolled at Oxbridge Academy high school.

Melania and Barron largely left the spotlight after that. They were barely seen for years, as she did everything she could to protect him from media scrutiny, including shielding him from reporting about his father’s various criminal cases. In March 2023, a source told People Magazine that Melania has always been “very protective” of her only child.

Just as he was about to graduate high school in May, more details about Barron’s life at Mar-a-Lago came to light. A source told the Daily Mail that Melania had locked herself in a “tight” bubble behind the gates of the Trump family’s Palm Beach mansion.
