Barron Trump goes viral with fake tan rumors
Barron Trump is once again in the spotlight as the son of the 47th president of the United States. On January 20, Barron spent the day with his family as his father, Donald Trump, took the oath of office. However, shortly after, Barron had to return to school after enrolling in college the previous year.
As the son of a two-term president, Barron can’t escape the inevitable comparisons to his father. Recently, it’s his towering height that often catches people’s attention. But during the inauguration, another topic became the subject of rumors.
Donald Trump has long been known for his use of bronzer to give his face its signature orange hue. After the inauguration, the question began circulating: has Barron started following in his father’s footsteps? While Barron has spent considerable time in the White House, especially during his father’s first term, things have shifted since then.
Now 18, Barron no longer resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He’s enrolled at New York University’s Stern Business School, marking a new chapter in his life. Melania Trump has made it clear that Barron is always welcome in Washington and will always have a room in the White House if he chooses to visit. “I think he will come and visit, yes,” she said in an interview, expressing excitement if he decides to bring friends along.
While Barron is navigating his adult life and education, Melania emphasized the importance of granting him the freedom to make his own choices. “We have them until they are 18 or 19 years old,” she shared. “After educating and guiding them, we grant them the ability to fly.” She also noted that she respects Barron’s responses and interests, ensuring that he is allowed to make his own decisions. Even as a college student, Barron continues to receive Secret Service protection, and despite not living in the White House, he will always be under the watchful eye of federal agents.
James, a close observer of Barron’s public appearances, shared that Barron often plays the role of a “sweeper” during events, a function he routinely assumes while accompanying his father. James further explained that Barron’s role at these events has evolved. Rather than quietly trailing behind his parents, Barron now engages with others, shaking hands and offering thoughtful words. This behavior, James said, reflects Barron’s growing confidence and maturity, signaling that he is emerging as a strong individual in his own right.
Despite his remarkable height and developing presence, Barron continues to garner attention, especially during public events like the inauguration. One notable observation was his new “healthy glow,” with some outlets, such as Express US, speculating that Barron might have adopted his father’s signature bronzed look. The Mirror even noted that Barron appeared to have a “bronze” tan, sparking further rumors about whether he’s following in his father’s footsteps in more ways than one.
As Barron steps further into adulthood, it’s clear that he’s no longer just the son of a president—he’s making his own mark and finding his way in the world.
