Barron Trump is all grown up but his mother Melania has admitted that he is still causing her “unimaginable, unpredictable concerns.”
The 19-year-old, who is the youngest of Donald Trump’s children and the only child the president shares with Melania, made a key step towards independent adulthood when he started college in the fall. However, the young Trump hasn’t strayed far as he is still living in the family’s Trump Tower home while attending New York University.
Melania, who has a tight bond with her son, revealed ahead of her husband’s January inauguration that she would be splitting her time between the White House, Mar-a-Lago and New York to continue to be near her son. As she reflected on the impact that motherhood has had on her during remarks in honor of Mother’s Day, Melania hinted at why she is still so eager to keep a close eye on Barron.

She said: “Motherhood: The life-changing event that makes women invincible and exposed at the same time. It’s remarkable, really, that my son’s life creates unimaginable, unpredictable concerns and thrills for me, even until this day.”
The First Lady went on to claim that it was a feeling her husband doesn’t experience as a father. She continued: “All caring mothers understand this rare feeling. Nothing against fathers, of course, but in my opinion, and I am sure everyone in this room agrees – only a mother can grasp this particular point.”
Donald, a dad of five, commended Melania’s parenting of Barron on Thursday. “I especially want to thank one of the best moms that I know that I’ve ever seen, sometimes she’s almost too good,” Trump said while addressing a gathering at the White House.
He added: “She’s so good with Barron that he’s grown up strong and nice and he’s a good boy, he’s a good student, so I want to thank you. You’ve done a great job.”

Melania’s remarks come after it was revealed Barron is reportedly a “critical” reason she and the president have been spending more time together.
“Barron is critical here too,” Mary Jordan, a journalist at the Washington Post and author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump said. She explained: “Melania is enormously close to Barron and he is really into the fact that his father is president.
“Melania and Donald are now spending more time together and appearing as more of a couple than they have in the past. They’ve been in a bunker together and they’ve come out of it closer.”

Melania also commended military mothers during her Mother’s Day remarks. She added: “Military Mothers and America, together, have developed an extraordinary, parallel journey. They are filled with stories of personal sacrifice, determination, loss, and healing. Certainly, only military mothers have experienced this level of grace and resilience, of American life.”
She concluded: “Let us unite to honor the beauty of motherhood, champion the grace of our journey, and inspire those who follow. A mother’s love and wisdom empower our children to flourish, instilling in them the courage to reach their fullest potential. Motherhood. Happy Mother’s Day!”
