Is Barron Trump on Social Media?
Not official.
The only child of Donald and Melania Trump turned 18 on March 20, 2024, and as a minor throughout his father’s public life in television, business and politics, Barron Trump has largely stayed out of the spotlight and media headlines. That included official social media accounts with the “blue check mark,” the symbol that signifies celebrity, official or, in some cases, paid status.
That’s different from the Trump family.
Everyone in the Trump family is in the spotlight for:
-
Donald Trump’s celebrity status: The billionaire hosted “The Apprentice” and “Celebrity Apprentice” in the 2000s before becoming president of the United States in 2016.
-
Donald Trump’s legal troubles – examples include Stormy Daniels’s silence case, his impeachments, or his role in the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol.
-
Donald Trump’s third attempt to win the White House as a Republican challenger against Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 US presidential election
From former President Donald Trump to his third wife (and Barron Trump’s mother) Melania Trump, to his adult children and their spouses — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump — they all have a presence on various social media platforms.
There is no official Barron Trump account on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch, Discord, or YouTube.
X, however, is a different story.
While Barron Trump doesn’t actively post snippets of his life, opinions, or photos on social media, that hasn’t stopped former first lady Melania Trump from sharing precious moments about motherhood and more on her social media. On X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Melania Trump tweeted several photos of Barron Trump as a little boy, often tagging him with @barrontrump.
Several tweets from the past few years provide a rare glimpse into:
-
Melania Trump, former model who frequently appeared on “The Apprentice” and “Celebrity Apprentice” with Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump
-
Melania Trump, the proud mother
-
Melania Trump, wife of a billionaire reality TV star and future first lady of the US (2017-2021)
Many of Melania Trump’s tweets about Barron Trump depict the young boy playing in the sand at the beach, golfing at one of his father’s famous courses, or just hanging out with his family. From roughly 2012 to 2015, Melania Trump tagged the X account @barrontrump. That account on X, however, only follows one account (hers) and has over 22,700 followers as of September 3, 2024. But there’s no profile picture, no cover photo, no tweets, and no bio – just the social handle and the date “@barrontrump” joined the social media platform (August 2012, when he was 6 years old).
Here are some tweets from Melania Trump featuring and/or tagging her son, Barron Trump, as of September 3, 2024:
