It is the first son's birthday! Barron Trump turns 20 years old today, March 20.
Barron Trump's father has been back in office for more than a year now, and the tall but elusive son of the president has only made two public appearances. When President Donald Trump first took office, Barron Trump was only 10 years old.
Now, he is a young man in his sophomore year at New York University's Stern School of Business. His parents have credited him with being politically savvy, though we haven't heard from Barron Trump directly.
The first lady's office did not comment on how Barron Trump would be celebrating, but President Trump is scheduled to go to his Florida home on the evening of March 20.
Here is what to know about Barron Trump:
Who is Barron Trump?
Barron Trump is the youngest of President Donald Trump's children and the only child of the president and first lady Melania Trump.
Barron Trump sticks out for his height whenever he does appear with his parents, but he usually stays out of the public eye. He has only appeared publicly at the inauguration and at the State of the Union during this presidency. His father has still given him credit for helping reach young voters through social media platforms and influencers like streamer Adin Ross.
"He's incredible young man, we are very proud of him," Melania Trump said Jan. 29 on Fox Business Network’s "Mornings With Maria." "This time it's very different because he's 19 years old and first time he was 10 years old. He understands politics, he gives advice to his father, we talk about it, so very different."
In a video posted in October by the president's eldest granddaughter, Kai Trump, (technically Barron's niece by one year), Donald Trump called Barron "cute" and "a good boy."
How tall is Barron Trump?
Barron Trump is at least 6-foot-7, though there are conflicting reports about his height.
Where does Barron Trump go to college?
Barron Trump is in his second year of New York University's Stern School of Business, the first lady told Fox Business Network, adding that he "loves it." It is unclear if he goes to the Manhattan campus, as reports state he did not go back to New York last fall and instead enrolled in a different NYU campus.
