Barron Trump has been shielded from the public by his mother, Melania, since his birth. As he is now 19, things have changed. Still, his mother and father are doing things differently. A body language expert now reveals a significant clash between Donald and Melania’s approach to raising their son.
Barron Trump has lived a very special life. While it was a very luxurious childhood, with stories about him having an entire floor of Trump Tower to himself, the celebrity status of his father made it tricky to have a normal childhood.
When Donald became president for the first time, it didn’t exactly make it easier for Barron to stay anonymous. Now, as he has begun his sophomore year at Stern Business School’s DC campus, he is being followed around by Secret Service agents wherever he goes.
Large parts of Barron Trump’s life have been a mystery. His mom, Melania, has shielded him from media scrutiny and the public to the best of her ability, and as he’s turned 19, she continues to be a protective parent.
Barron was rarely seen in public for many years. But as Donald won his second presidential term, things changed. All of a sudden, Barron Trump appeared in the spotlight. On Inauguration Day, he pretty much stole it from his father.
It’s well-known that Melania has been the primary caregiver for Barron. But how different are the parenting styles between the President and First Lady of the United States? According to body language expert Judi James, it differs significantly.
Melania & Donald’s body language reveals how Barron is raised, claims expert
Speaking to The Mirror, Donald Trump has been eager to put Barron center stage, while Melania fiercely protects her son from it.
“Trump’s body language signals with his son Barron suggest he is a bit of a ‘Lion King’ papa, proudly presenting the boy to the world while hinting he is a chip off the old block,” James told The Mirror, adding that Melania takes a more sheltering posture with her son.
She continued, “While Melania’s envelopment and support gestures suggest a more protective and nurturing approach, with her arm wrapped around her son as he leans forward in the oldest photo, and then both hands used for gentle support and restraint as he starts to toddle in some of the later ones.”
The body language expert pointed out that Donald has continued to maintain a ‘signature’ stance with Barron, which demonstrates his “pride” and “endorsement” of his son.
Donald shows “confidence in his son”
“As Barron gets older Trump tends to stand him directly in front of himself, clutching both his shoulders in a gesture of pride and endorsement. The clasp allows the young Barron to adopt a similar, upright with slightly splayed legs pose as his dad,” she concluded.
“Finally, once Barron grows taller and those ‘stabilizer’ hands come off, Trump appears to display confidence in his son by allowing him his body language independence.”
