Little Barron is now a head taller than his mother and father. Melania wants to focus more on him - and not on her husband's possible presidency.

Barron Trump wants to study at New York University, which is why Melania is staying with him. According to an insider, she "doesn't want an uninterrupted schedule in the White House".

  • Melania Trump was rarely seen at Donald Trump's side during the current election campaign.
  • She wants to focus on her son Barron, who is due to start studying at NYU in the fall.
  • Melania wants to protect Barron from the pressure of a possible new presidency and is therefore staying in New York - and away from the White House.

Compared to the election campaign four years and eight years ago, Melania (54) Trump was almost never seen alongside Donald (78) this year. She was even absent from the TV debate against Joe Biden, leaving her husband alone.

There are also strong rumors about the legitimacy of the Trump marriage, claiming that it is just a business deal. That would confirm Melania's behavior. But as an insider has now told "Page Six", she would rather take care of her son Barron (18).

Pressure on Barron is very high

The Trump offspring will be studying at New York University (NYU) from the fall. Melania therefore does not want to live in Washington, in the White House, but rather be with her son in New York. The source says: "She doesn't want an uninterrupted schedule at the White House."

The insider also speculates that Barron could be under even greater pressure if his father were to become president again. Greater than the pressure he already experiences as a first-year student.

This is another reason why Melania wants to be by his side. She also enjoys the reputation of being a "very protective mother" - probably also because of her family's social status. The Secret Service would always have to be present with Barron should he go to school and his father be president.
