KEY POINTS

  • Melania Trump is protective of Barron Trump.
  • Barron Trump has gotten taller and more handsome in recent years, according to netizens. 
  • Melania Trump and Donald Trump visited a restaurant with their son. 

Melania Trump recently showed the public how loving and protective she is of her 13-year-old son, Barron Trump.

After exiting a restaurant with her husband, President Donald Trump, his aides, Melania and her son were greeted with thunderous cheering from their fans.

The POTUS walked to the left of the restaurant, where he posed for photos with his supporters. Melania opted to stay a few feet away from her husband, and she also gestured for Barron to move closer to her.

While President Trump was greeting the crowds, Melania and Barron stood quietly in the sidelines. A few minutes later, the three of them left the restaurant.

Social media erupted with praises for the FLOTUS after the public saw how loving she was towards her teenage son.

“I’ve always felt Melania is a very lovingly concerned mom,” one Twitter user wrote.

Other Trump supporters couldn’t help but gush over how handsome Barron has become. They also said that he’s gotten much taller in recent months.

Meanwhile, the FLOTUS recently made headlines for defending Barron from Pamela S. Karlan. On her Twitter account, the first lady expressed her disappointment over Karlan making fun of her son.

“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,” Melania wrote.

Immediately after, Karlan apologized to Melania and the public.

In related news, Melania has also been protective of her son. During her interview with US Weekly in 2016, the first lady acknowledged the fact that she and Barron have been at the center of some mean comments.

“We’re dealing with [hateful comments], and I’m teaching [Barron] the right way and giving him morals... and teaching him values at home. I’m home most of the time with him and being a parent to him. He’s 10 years old and he needs somebody at home,” she said.
