The youngest son of the 45th President of the United States, Barron Trump, first attracted public attention on election night, standing on stage behind his father as he accepted congratulations on his victory. In the photo, the boy looked sleepy, not joyful, immediately winning the hearts of Americans, Joinfo.ua reports.
Nanny - a mystery shrouded in darkness
The testimony of the spouses did not agree on the topic that concerns the nanny. While Melania insisted that she was completely dedicated to her son, Donald said something completely different.
“I like to practice,” Melania said. “I think it’s very important that I be there.” Barron is 9 years old. He needs someone to parent, so I’m with him all the time, because, as you know, my husband travels all the time.”
Meanwhile, a few days after the interview, Donald told the New York Post that there is in fact a "young woman" who is "working with Barron."
First steps on the path to success
In 1964, Trump graduated from the military academy with flying colors and entered Fordham University. After studying there for 4 semesters, he transferred to the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1968, he received a bachelor's degree in economics, after which his father accepted his son into the family business. Donald became seriously interested in real estate, hoping in the future to become the heir to the Trump construction empire and multiply his father's fortune many times over.
Young Donald Trump started working for the family business
The first project entrusted to Donald was the grandiose residential complex Swifton Village in Ohio, designed for 1,200 apartments for the “middle class”. Under the leadership of the younger Trump, the company managed to complete the project within a year, spending $6 million on construction and earning $12 million from the sale of apartments.

Double income is a more than excellent start to a career, but Trump was not going to stop there. The construction of apartments in Ohio was sponsored by the state, but Donald understood that for financial support for more serious projects it was worth turning not to government organizations, but to the powers that be: bankers, top managers, oil tycoons. In 1971, Donald rented an apartment in the heart of New York - on the island of Manhattan. Here his circle of acquaintances quickly expanded with influential people.

He lives like a king
In his house in New York, the boy had his own floor with toys. He was also allowed to draw on the walls: “It’s not scary because we can always paint them over.”
Today, the White House employs 100 people who "know what each member of the Trump family likes in terms of food, snacks and personal preferences."
The boy has an aunt on his mother's side. Ines Knauss and Melania Trump are very close. Apparently, the child often practices Slovenian with his relative.
