KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump's statements about son Barron
  • Donald Trump as a father
  • Donald Trump's children 

Donald Trump is very confident of his son Barron.

On Wednesday night, the U.S. president took a shot at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who held a rally at Washington Square Park in New York City in September with an estimated 20,000 supporters in attendance. According to Trump, his son can get a bigger crowd than Warren, Fox News reported.

“I could have Barron Trump go into Central Park and he’d get a crowd that would be just as big. He’s 13! He’d get a bigger crowd!” he said.

Many attacked the first lady after Donald mentioned Barron’s name because Melania already said in a statement that minors, including her child, should be kept out of politics. However, Donald’s statement was more than that, it also showed his confidence in his son.

This isn’t the first time the POTUS speaks about his child with Melania. In an interview with The Atlantic, the businessman turned politician also mentioned Barron’s “potential.”

“Barron is young, but he’s got wonderful potential,” Trump said about his and Melania’s son.

Aside from Barron, Donald has three children with his first wife Ivana, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric. He also has one daughter with his second wife Marla Maples, Tiffany. Ivana took full credit in raising her three children with Trump in her book “Raising Trump.” However, she still found Donald a “loving father,” only that he was not very involved in their day-to-day upbringing.

Ivana added that the POTUS was a “good provider.” He was not the type of father who would take a stroll and go to Central Park or go play baseball with his children. In fact, he only communicated with them when they were 18 because it was only at that age when he could discuss his business with them.

Among Donald’s five children, he was very fond of Ivanka Trump. He was very proud of her accomplishments, especially in creating millions of jobs. Also, he believed that his daughter could win the presidential race because for him, Ivanka is “very, very hard to beat.”
