Donald Trump Reportedly Checks In On Son Barron Regularly Despite Claims They’re Not Close

Donald Trump doesn’t have a close relationship with all of his children, and he’s was not a hands-on dad to all five of them.

The POTUS currently lives with his youngest son, Barron Trump, in the White House with his third wife, Melania Trump. Previous reports revealed that the POTUS rarely talks to his 13-year-old son.

However, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney claimed that this isn’t necessarily the case. According to Mulvaney, the president has a loving relationship with his youngest child.

“He said Mr. Trump is in frequent contact with his youngest son, calling to check in on him and let him know of his whereabouts. But, Mr. Mulvaney said, ‘the press would never show you that because it doesn’t fit that image of him, the press wants him to be this terrible monster,” Annie Karni of The New York Times reported.

Mulvaney’s recent statement came as a shock to a lot of people because he wants the media to talk more about Donald and Melania’s only son. However, the FLOTUS has made it clear that her teenage son is off-limits.

“Mr. Mulvaney’s decision to discuss Barron Trump was curious, especially when Melania Trump, the first lady, and senior White House officials have gone to great lengths to make sure he enjoys the privacy afforded to other children of presidents growing up in the uncomfortable spotlight of the White House. The White House press corps has generally agreed to grant Barron Trump the same privacy,” the publication reported.

Last year, the FLOTUS slammed Stanford law professor Pamela Karlan for mentioning Barron’s name during the impeachment hearings.

“A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it,” the first lady tweeted.

Meanwhile, the POTUS remembered Barron during one of his rallies this month. He told his supporters that the teenager is always on his computer.
