The president of the College Republicans of America&#8217;s New York University chapter has resigned after telling the media that first son Barron Trump is an &#8220;oddity on campus&#8221; who keeps to himself.
College Republicans of America (CRA) announced in a statement released Tuesday that NYU chapter president Kaya Walker&#8217;s comments did &#8220;not align with the values and principles upheld&#8221; by the organization.
The statement also said that media outlets Vanity Fair and The Independent &#8220;unfairly framed what was said,&#8221; adding, however, that &#8220;upon review, we still found it to be inappropriate.&#8221;
&#8220;The NYU chapter president submitted her resignation last night,&#8221; CRA said.
CRA posted the announcement of Walker&#8217;s resignation with an invitation for Barron to join the NYU chapter. Barron is a freshman at the school.
&#8220;In response to recent events with our NYU chapter, College Republicans of America formally invites Barron Trump to join us in reshaping the Republican Party,&#8221; the post said.
“Barron Trump represents the future of the conservative movement and we would be honored to have him join College Republicans of America,” CRA president Will Donahue said.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/vanityfair/p/DGDkpAeRcr5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According</a> to a recent Vanity Fair article, Walker said of Barron, “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus. He goes to class, he goes home.”
&#8220;His NYU classmates find him to be as big a mystery as the rest of the world,&#8221; Vanity Fair framed the article. &#8220;Unlike his father, Barron does not speak publicly nor operate a public social media account, which, by all appearances, has only deepened his mystique.&#8221;
Last year, a source <a href="https://people.com/barron-trump-ladies-man-new-york-university-exclusive-8759953" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> PEOPLE magazine that on campus, Barron is a &#8220;ladies&#8217; man for sure.&#8221;
&#8220;He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive — yes, even liberal people like him,&#8221; the source said.
The reactions to Walker&#8217;s seemingly forced resignation were mixed online, with some agreeing with CRA&#8217;s decision and others arguing that Walker&#8217;s comment was neutral and CRA was &#8220;canceling&#8221; her without good reason.
During the 2024 election, Barron participated in events with his father and was credited with pushing the now-president to go on podcasts younger people frequently listen to.
&#8220;[Barron] was certainly the one that suggested [Trump] go on some of the very young podcasts,&#8221; Barron&#8217;s brother, Eric Trump, told the press after the election.
<div class="caas-da ">
“Obviously, Joe Rogan is one of the biggest podcasters in the world, so it’s not like this hadn’t occurred to us to go on Joe Rogan, but you know, [Barron] speaks to a different demographic in terms of voter, and now he did certainly suggest a couple of the more millennial, or even younger generation-style, podcasts,&#8221; Eric continued. “Some of those were fantastic.”
“My father did incredibly well with the youth vote, and he picked up segments of the vote that he had never picked up before,&#8221; he added. “And I’m sure a lot of that was attributable to the podcast circuit that he really committed to.”

Love him or hate him, we can’t ignore that when it comes to parenting, Donald Trump seems to be a pretty good father. The proof is evident in the behavior of his kids. Certainly, kids who have an ax to grind don’t act like his kids do.
First, adult sons and daughters who harbor deep anger toward a parent never speak highly of him or her, regardless of how famous they are. In fact, fame can be an ideal opportunity for angry kids to humiliate their parents. Trump’s older kids, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. don’t behave this way. In fact, they have no reason to publicly support their father so enthusiastically other than the belief that their father is a good and capable man. Sure, they may want to applaud him to further their own careers, but they don’t need to do this. They are each highly successful on their own. If they had lukewarm sentiments about their dad, they would at least fade into the background. But they haven’t. They have taken advantage of large public platforms to convince us that he has strong character and extraordinarily strong abilities to improve America. They wouldn’t do this if they believed that his intentions were other than altruistic. The fact that they have successfully convinced millions of Americans that he has what it takes to lead our country can only come from sincere sentiments.
Second, both his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are two of his most ardent supporters. How many in-laws boast about their father-in-law not only privately, but also publicly? Lara has no motive to boast other than genuine admiration and Jared could certainly stay silent.
When it comes to his business life, Trump puts his grown kids front and center. Fathers who want to dominate the spotlight, don’t do this. They own the public space and keep their adult kids in the background, in part, to avoid the risk that their kids will make derogatory statements about them. Trump takes the risk because he is confident they won’t humiliate or criticize him. He knows they will always support him.
When Trump’s older kids were young, he protected them from the paparazzi. He worked to keep his kids out of the spotlight until they wanted to jump into it of their own volition. His first three kids went away to school so that the press would leave them alone. Tiffany and Barron now enjoy that same privacy so they too can live their own lives. The president-elect could easily push all of them into the spotlight to make himself look like a good father, but he doesn’t. Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., along with Lara Trump, put themselves in the public and political arenas to bolster President-elect Trump’s career.
When it comes to raising his family, Trump appears to have nothing to hide. Most fathers would be afraid to give their kids the freedom to say what they want about their dad. Who among us would have the confidence to give our kids such a large media presence to say whatever they want about us? Not me. Only a father who feels confident about the job he has done would do so.
Many divorced couples carry resentment and anger after their breakup with their spouse and psychologists know how damaging the animosity can be on the couple’s kids. Donald has kept his kids from a lot of pain by embracing friendships with his two ex-wives. And while Ivana Trump passed away in 2022, we still see photos of Marla Maples, Melania, and Donald standing together smiling for the camera at Tiffany Trump’s wedding.
The peculiar thing about the president-elect’s life is that he seems to have successfully split himself into two men: the father and the political genius. In his former role, he appears to have worked hard at having close relationships with his kids. To the best of his ability, he has tried to spend as much time as possible with them. This is no easy task when you are running a multi-million-dollar real estate empire and then while being president. Succeeding at both takes impossible time and energy and yet, with these challenges, he has somehow stayed close with his kids.

The other side of Trump is hard to applaud. He has been accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment and harmful sexual behavior toward women. He has admitted to being a poor husband at times, and his numerous public affairs with women confirm this. Good husbands don’t cheat on their wives or sexually harass other women. The peculiar part is that his five kids know this and still publicly support and encourage him. This occurs only because, in some genuinely incredible feat, Trump has found a way to communicate to his kids that being their father is a much higher priority than even being a husband, businessman, or politician. His life as a father is completely separate from his work life, and his kids must feel this. If they refused to forgive or ignore his deep flaws they would take every opportunity to denounce him on the worldwide stage.
Donald Trump is a complex man. He is both a good man and a villain. This is hard for people to understand. The truth is, however, that we are all complex beings. Like him, we are not simply good or evil, kind or cruel. We are both. Certainly, as a man, Trump has made poor decisions, and offended many people to the point where they despise him. But clearly, he has done something well when it comes to his kids. And their behavior is a testimony to his personal success as a father.

Former Democrat megadonor John Morgan, who has abandoned the party to become an independent, said in an interview this week that President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son was smarter than everyone on Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; failed presidential campaign.
John Morgan told Fox News on Wednesday night that Harris &#8220;can never run for president again&#8221; because of how badly she performed on the campaign trail.
&#8220;What the Harris campaign should have done instead of avoiding Joe Rogan and podcasts, it turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, &#8216;You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,'&#8221; he said.&#8221;He was three hours late to a rally because he was doing Joe Rogan because that was so important.&#8221;
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/gift-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE</a>
&#8220;So Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign]—they said they didn&#8217;t go on Joe Rogan. The progressives around her you heard what [Democrat strategist James] Carville said, the progressives didn&#8217;t want to go on Joe Rogan.&#8221;
&#8220;They played hide-the-ball. They lost badly,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;She should go away and never, ever come back. She spent almost $2 billion. They&#8217;re raising money this week to pay off the debt. If you can&#8217;t run your campaign, you damn sure can&#8217;t run the country.&#8221;

Lawyer Kyle Keegan took considerable backlash over an X post from late last week in which he claimed that former President Donald Trump’s son Barron looked to him like “a rapist at a frat party.”
Keegan posted a photo of the youngest Trump — the only son of former First Lady Melania Trump — who just turned 18 earlier this year and is scheduled to graduate from high school later this week.
“Is it just me, or does Barron look like a rapist at a frat party?  I’m just asking questions,” the photo’s caption read.

“I tweeted that before he (Melania) rejected the appointment,” Keegan said, suggesting that made his comment about Barron more palatable. “I only tweeted this today.”
The quoted tweet read, “Barron’s political career was like a hundredth of a Scaramucci.”

Lawyer Dragged For Saying Barron Trump Looks Like ‘A Rapist At A Frat Party’

Social Media

U.S.

Former President Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son Barron has declined an offer to be a delegate at this year&#8217;s Republican National Convention (RNC), but not for lack of interest in politics.
A statement from former first lady Melania Trump&#8217;s office said, &#8220;While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,&#8221; <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4657094-barron-trump-declines-rnc-delegate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> The Hill.
Donald Trump, who is the presumptive GOP presidential nominee in the current election cycle, said in a radio interview on Friday that Barron &#8220;does like politics&#8221; and often gives his father advice on what political moves he should make.
&#8220;He’s really been a great student,” Trump said of his son who graduates from high school next week. “And he does like politics. It’s sort of funny. He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do.’”
On Wednesday, the Florida Republican Party <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barron-trump-picked-as-florida-gop-delegate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">selected</a> Barron to be an at-large delegate at the RNC in July in Milwaukee. If Barron had gone through with it, the 18-year-old would have joined his half-siblings, Don Jr., Eric, and Tiffany, to be part of the Florida delegation.
A Trump campaign official had previously told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barron-trump-picked-serve-florida-delegate-republican-national/story?id=110049809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a> that Barron was “on the delegation roster and … is very interested in our nation’s political process.”
Barron was just 10 years old when his father was elected to the White House in 2016. Since that time, Barron has been largely kept out of the spotlight, only occasionally appearing beside his parents and family at campaign and public events.
In recent weeks, however, the media has focused more on Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son — who now towers over all of his family at 6&#8217;7 — as the former president sits through a criminal trial in Manhattan.

Donald Trump has been stuck in the courtroom for four days a week in a trial focused on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up payments, including to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, in a bid to conceal damaging information as part of a “catch-and-kill” scheme to influence the 2016 election. The elder Trump has pleaded not guilty.
Barron was cast into the spotlight during the trial as his father&#8217;s defense attorneys argued before Judge Juan Merchan that their client should be allowed a day off to attend Barron&#8217;s graduation ceremony next Friday. Merchan eventually agreed to allow Donald Trump to attend Barron’s graduation.

Republican National Convention

Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son, Barron, is stepping into politics for the first time as the 18-year-old was selected by the Florida Republican Party on Wednesday to be one of the state&#8217;s at-large delegates for the Republican National Convention, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/barron-trump-florida-delegate-republican-national-convention-rcna151388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Barron, who will graduate from high school next week, joins his half-siblings Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany in entering Republican politics. Don Jr., Eric, and the former president&#8217;s youngest daughter Tiffany will also be among the 41 RNC delegates from Florida, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/barron-trump-enter-politics-florida-delegate-gop-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
A Trump campaign official <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barron-trump-picked-serve-florida-delegate-republican-national/story?id=110049809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ABC News that Barron is &#8220;on the delegation roster and &#8230; is very interested in our nation&#8217;s political process.&#8221;
Florida GOP Chair Evan Power said, &#8220;The (Republican Party of Florida) is ready for a great convention in Milwaukee, but more importantly, we are excited as we continue to lay the groundwork in Florida for success. Mark my words, we are going to win and we will win big in November!&#8221;
Barron was recently cast into the spotlight during his father&#8217;s hush-money trial in New York as Trump&#8217;s lawyers argued before Judge Juan Merchan that their client should be allowed a day off to attend his son&#8217;s graduation ceremony. Merchan agreed to allow Trump to attend Barron&#8217;s graduation, which is <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13393359/Donald-trump-barron-son-graduation-attend-ceremony.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled</a> for Friday, May 17.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is stuck in a Manhattan courtroom four days a week as he tries to campaign for the White House. Trump&#8217;s multiple civil and criminal trials have also affected his children.
In Trump&#8217;s New York civil business fraud case, Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka all <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-family-take-stand-250-million-civil-fraud-trial-rcna122806" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> last year as the New York Democratic Attorney General sought punishment for Trump and his organization, alleging he inflated his net worth and financial statements. The Trump Organization, which was founded by the former president&#8217;s father, is now run by Don Jr. and Eric. Ivanka left her leadership position when she joined her father in the White House as an advisor.

Barron Trump Picked As Florida GOP Delegate

Arquette shared her thoughts in a late-night tweet, arguing that the FBI should have considered raiding 16-year-old Barron Trump&#8217;s bedroom and scrutinizing former first lady Melania Trump&#8217;s underwear drawer.

Following the raid — which occurred while Trump and his family were not present — the former president complained that FBI agents had, in fact, gone through <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-fbi-raided-mar-a-lago-to-search-for-top-secret-documents-on-nuclear-weapons-report-claims/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melania&#8217;s closet</a>.
&#8220;My attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully, and very good relationships had been established. The government could have had whatever they wanted, if we had it. They asked us to put an additional lock on a certain area – DONE! Everything was fine, better than that of most previous Presidents, and then, out of nowhere and with no warning, Mar-a-Lago was raided, at 6:30 in the morning, by VERY large numbers of agents, and even ‘safecrackers.’ They got way ahead of themselves. Crazy!&#8221; Trump said in a statement following the raid. &#8220;Just learned that agents went through the First Lady’s closets and rummaged through her clothing and personal items. Surprisingly, left area in a relative mess. Wow.&#8221;
Subsequent reports stated that the FBI had been in search of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/former-trump-official-classified-mar-a-lago-documents-were-actually-declassified-by-trump-before-leaving-office/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classified documents</a> that could potentially contain information about nuclear weapons — although whether the nuclear weapons in question belonged to the United States or to foreign powers was unclear — and that agents were therefore justified in searching anywhere a document could be stored.
The FBI took a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/trump-probe-centers-around-several-potential-crimes-could-be-in-trouble-even-if-he-declassified-docs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">number of boxes</a> from the Trumps&#8217; Florida home — but the former president and his attorneys have repeatedly claimed that he declassified any and all documents that he took with him to Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House in January of 2021. In spite of that, however, the potential crimes cited on the search warrant do not necessarily require the documents in question to be designated as &#8220;classified.&#8221;

California gubernatorial hopeful Caitlyn Jenner told CNN on Monday that the famously media-friendly Kardashians “are scared of what the media’s going to do” to them if they get involved in a Republican campaign.
During an extended interview on &#8220;Anderson Cooper 360,” the Olympic gold medalist revealed how the cast of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” will handle the 2021 recall election.
“Here&#8217;s the deal with them,” Jenner told CNN. “My kids are not involved whatsoever with this … because they&#8217;re scared — one, for my safety, and scared of what the media&#8217;s going to do.”
Jenner commented on the seeming contradiction of the stars of a long-running reality TV series — whose most intimate moments have been made public for decades — choosing to shy away from the cameras.
“My family has certainly, you know, been out in the media, and they&#8217;ve taken their shots, and they don&#8217;t need to take any more,” Jenner said.
The 2021 Republican hopeful revealed a secret conversation the family had about the election before formally announcing a candidacy:
<blockquote>I said, “I&#8217;m not going to ask you for one tweet. I&#8217;m not going to ask you for one thing. You guys go and live your life. This is my deal. This is my decision to do this. And I&#8217;m going to tell the media, stay away. Don&#8217;t ask them.” And I told them, just [say], “No comment.”</blockquote>
Jenner’s family is not wrong to be concerned. The media have so viciously and regularly dragged GOP candidates’ families through the mud that even the Kardashians are turning down this kind of media coverage.
Here are just a few examples:
<ol>
<li> Barron Trump is autistic. In 2016, then-cohost of ABC’s “The View” Rosie O’Donnell started a whisper campaign that President-elect Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, suffered from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rosie-odonnell-barron-trump-autistic-amanda-prestigiacomo">autism</a>. No confirmation has ever come that the boy is on the autistic spectrum. Still, the rumor eventually <a href="https://www.ibtimes.com/melania-trumps-son-barron-falls-autism-spectrum-fidgety-socially-awkward-journalist-2892815">made it into print</a> in the Santa Monica Observer by Samuel Alioto. A year later, social media <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/barron-trump-called-retarded-playing-most-popular-joseph-curl">branded</a> Barron a “special needs kid” for playing with a fidget spinner.</li>
<li> Sen. Tim Scott’s prosperous grandfather. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has frequently told the story of his illiterate grandfather dropping out of school in the third grade to become a cotton farmer. His family “went from cotton to Congress in one generation,” Sen. Scott says with justifiable pride — and patriotism. That was more than The Washington Post would allow, as its fact-checker Glenn Kessler <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/04/23/racist-washington-post-fact-check-calls-black-senator-privileged-for-family-history-of-picking-cotton/">attempted</a> to uncover inconsistencies in the Scott family’s Horatio Alger story. Ultimately, he confirmed its major details — but not before slathering his findings with enough carefully worded questions to instill doubt in some readers.</li>
<li> Melania Trump, battered woman. In 2018, two well-exposed writers claimed in passing that President Trump probably <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sick-media-speculates-president-trump-beat-melania-joseph-curl">beat</a> his wife. Rolling Stone writer Jamil Smith speculated that “the prolonged, poorly explained public absence of Melania Trump could be about concealing abuse.” David Frum asked whether it would break the law if President Trump “punched the First Lady in the White House” and “then ordered the Secret Service to conceal” his spousal abuse. The first lady was, in fact, recovering from a kidney surgery.</li>
<li> Sarah Palin’s pregnancy truthers. 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin discreetly <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-politics-palin/palin-rebuts-rumors-says-daughter-pregnant-idUSN2944356420080901">announced</a> that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, had gotten pregnant — after Democratic bloggers claimed the Alaska governor <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/sarah-palin-baby-hoax-2011-4">faked</a> her own pregnancy to conceal Bristol’s. To add insult to injury, David Letterman <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/story/david-letterman-slammed-for-sex-jokes-about-palins-teen-daughter">cracked wise</a> about her visit to a New York Yankees baseball game the following summer: “One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankees game. During the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”</li>
</ol>
On the other hand, the media studiously avoids engaging in negative coverage of Chelsea Clinton or Sasha and Malia Obama. During the 2008 Democratic primaries, MSNBC <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/msnbc-anchor-suspended-pimping-comment-chelsea-clinton-article-1.308165">suspended</a> host David Shuster for saying he felt as though Hillary Clinton “pimped out” 27-year-old Chelsea Clinton by having her call superdelegates on her mother’s behalf. After he offered a heartfelt <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/msnbc-reporter-begrudging_n_85706">apology</a>, the Clinton campaign <a href="https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/07/halper-book-clintons-lobbied-ge-to-get-rid-of-msnbcs-david-shuster-192542">lobbied</a> NBC’s parent company, GE, to fire Shuster. (NBC eventually terminated the host in 2010.) Although Malia Obama has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-malia-obama-caught-smoking-pot-amanda-prestigiacomo">caught</a> on film smoking marijuana, the former first daughters have received the most media coverage for their mother, Michelle, publicly fretting that they will one day experience <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-when-will-america-stop-persecuting-michelle-obama-oprah-and-lebron-james">racial profiling</a>.
Western media provide the negative PR of the Democratic Party. If the legacy media show up, the Kardashians would be well advised to follow Jenner’s example and run.

In the latest episode of “Candace,” which airs exclusively for Daily Wire members on Tuesday, May 4 at 9 p.m. Eastern, Candace Owens spoke with former President Donald Trump in an exclusive interview.
One of several questions <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">posed</a> by the Daily Wire star explored an often-dismissed subject: the impact of Trump’s presidency on his family.
“How has it impacted your family to be thrust into the spotlight in this way?” Owens asked. “I always have my heart out for Melania.”
“I mean, this beautiful woman, should be on the cover of every magazine,” Owens added. “Every First Lady that came before her celebrated, ‘we love you, we love you!’ And they were unrelenting in their nasty coverage towards her.”
“You also have a young son, how do they deal with this?” Owens asked.
“Well, they handle it really well,” Trump responded.
“And Melania really, it&#8217;s amazing,” he said. “She&#8217;s very confident. She&#8217;s a confident person, a good person. And the people love her.”
“You know, when I make speeches, there&#8217;s signs all over. ‘We love our First Lady. We love our First Lady,’ so many signs like that. The people get it, they love her,” Trump continued. 
The former president then moved on to discuss the way the press treated Melania Trump during his presidency.
“But the press is just horrible,” Trump argued. “I remember she did — the first time I really saw it — she did a beautiful Christmas display at the White House, worked very, very hard and it was so beautiful, everybody said, and they just ravaged it. They thought it was so terrible.”
“And I know terrible,” Trump joked. “I know what bad is and I know what good is.”
“It was just killed the next year she did it and did it differently,” Trump continued later, “and maybe did it more according to what they would have suggested, and it was ravaged. There was nothing that she could have done.”
“But she handles it really well,” Trump concluded.
The comparative treatment of the former and current First Lady is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stunning-and-intelligent-jill-biden-vs-trashy-and-racist-melania-trump-the-exhausting-hypocrisy-of-the-left">not limited to the press</a>. For example, Rosanna Arquette tweeted in early April, “I love First Ladies who are educated, compassionate, have deep integrity and care about all Americans and on to of that are really chic . we’ve missed that since Michelle Obama. Now we have Dr Jill Biden.”
https://twitter.com/RoArquette/status/1379085529350696960
Writer Tony Posnanski was less subtle, tweeting, “In all seriousness, Dr. Jill Biden could wear a pickle barrel with plastic grocery bags on her feet and she would still be classier than the racist birth [sic] f***face Melania Trump.”

Melania and Donald Trump

EXCLUSIVE: ‘The Press Is Just Horrible!’ Donald Trump Says Media ‘Ravaged’ Melania Trump

Candace Owens

The White House is just like a lot of regular American households — when one person gets COVID-19, everyone else in the house often gets it, too.
So after President Trump caught the virus, his wife, first lady Melania Trump, got it — and so did their son, Barron, 14.
In a rare personal essay <a class="icon none" href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/first-lady-melania-trump-personal-experience-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">posted </a>on the White House website on Wednesday, Mrs. Trump detailed what happened after her husband tested positive on Oct. 1. First, she said she immediately had Barron tested.
“To our great relief he tested negative, but again, as so many parents have thought over the past several months, I couldn’t help but think ‘what about tomorrow or the next day?’” she wrote. “My fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive. Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms.”
<div class="paywall">
But like his father, Barron got rid of the virus quickly. Mrs. Trump said her son had since tested negative.
Addressing a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said Baron recovered quickly and was doing “fine.”
</div>
&#8220;He had it for such a short period of time, I don&#8217;t even think he knew he had it because they&#8217;re young and their immune systems are strong and they fight it off,&#8221; Trump said, joking that his son had the virus for &#8220;like two seconds.&#8221;
Trump also urged schools across the country to re-open. &#8220;Get the kids back to school, you&#8217;ve got to get the kids back to school. Get &#8217;em back.&#8221;
At a campaign rally in North Carolina on Thursday, Mr. Trump said, &#8220;My beautiful Barron had it and he recovered so fast. I said, &#8216;Wait a minute, how long did that take?&#8217; They have the strongest immune systems, they&#8217;re better than all of us, that&#8217;s what they are.&#8221;
<div class="paywall">
In her essay, Mrs. Trump said her own symptoms were minor — a cough, headache, and fatigue. She also said that she has since tested negative and — as her husband already has — plans to resume her work “as soon as I can.”
Mrs. Trump, 50, fared better with the virus than the president, 74. He was hospitalized for three days at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after his diagnosis, and he received an array of therapies, including an antibody cocktail. Mr. Trump was among fewer than 10 people who were able to access the Regeneron cocktail under “compassionate use” rules.
“I was in not great shape” when admitted to Walter Reed last week, Mr. Trump told Rush Limbaugh recently. “But we had a medicine that healed me,” he added. “I might not have recovered at all without the Regeneron cocktail.”
“This is a cure. Call it what you want, it’s a cure. I’m talking to you today because of it,” the president said. “This is a total gamechanger.”
“People are going to get immediately better, like I did,” Trump said, adding the treatment could save “hundreds of thousands” of American lives. “A day later, I was fine,” Trump said. “This is better than the vaccine, and it’s going out as we speak. This is the greatest of them all if it works out,” Trump added.
Mrs. Trump, meanwhile, said she “chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food.”

First Family Arrives At The White House

Trump Says Barron, 14, Had COVID-19 For ‘Like Two Seconds’ Before Testing Negative

After a host for The Food Network mocked her and her son Barron on Father’s Day, First Lady Melania Trump blasted him via her spokesperson, stating, “Sadly we continue to see inappropriate and insensitive comments about the President’s son. As with every other administration, a minor child should be off-limits and allowed to grow up with no judgment or hate from strangers and the media,” as <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/22/stephanie-grisham-melania-trump-network-host-barron-trump-inappropriate-fathers-day/">The Daily Caller</a> reported.
John Henson, (no relation to Jim Henson of Muppets fame) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/food-network-host-celebrates-fathers-day-by-taking-shot-at-melania-barron-trump">tweeted</a> the snarky comment on Sunday, “I hope Barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is.”
The <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/profiles/talent/john-henson/john-henson-bio">Food Network’s bio</a> of Henson notes that he has two children of his own:
<blockquote>Over the course of his career, he has also co-hosted and produced ABC’s Wipeout, Spike TV’s The John Henson Project, and TV Guide Network’s Watch This. He also starred in FX’s Anger Management and NBC’s My Name is Earl, and hosted truTV’s Funniest Commercials specials as well as guest hosted of Who Wants to be a Millionaire… John resides in Los Angeles with his wife, son and daughter.</blockquote>
Henson even had his <a href="https://abcwipeout.fandom.com/wiki/John_Henson">own production company</a>. It was named Skunk Boy, Inc.
Melania has had to deal with comments about her son Barron that were far more severe than Henson’s; in June 2018, actor Peter Fonda tweeted, ““WE SHOULD RIP BARRON TRUMP FROM HIS MOTHER’S ARMS AND PUT HIM IN A CAGE WITH PEDOPHILES AND SEE IF MOTHER WILL WILL STAND UP AGAINST THE GIANT ASSHOLE SHE IS MARRIED TO,” as <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2018/06/20/melania-calls-secret-service-after-actor-peter-fonda-threatens-to-kidnap-barron-trump/?utm_campaign=atdailycaller&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Social">The Daily Caller</a> reported.
Melania’s office notified the Secret Service. Melania’s spokesperson Stephanie Grisham tweeted, “The tweet is sick and irresponsible and USSS has been notified.”
In December 2019, the 15th annual Black List survey was announced, in which 250 film executives chose up to 10 of their favorite unproduced scripts, and one of the screenplays chosen told the fictional tale of how Barron Trump, “fearing the devastating impact that his father’s presidency would have on his personal life, his country and the world at large. … sets out to sabotage his father’s 2016 campaign,” as <a href="https://variety.com/2019/film/news/barron-trump-sabotaging-dad-campaign-screenplay-1203440203/">Variety</a> reported.
The Left’s consistent mocking of Barron Trump has included such viciousness as seemingly mocking him when he was frightened after seeing the infamous photo of supposed comedienne Kathy Griffin holding up his father’s severed head. <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/barron-trump-thought-kathy-griffin-actually-beheaded-his-father-report">The Washington Examiner</a> reported on May 31, 2017, “Barron was at the family’s New York City penthouse with first lady Melania Trump when the photo appeared on TV. Barron saw the image and panicked. ‘Mommy, mommy!’ he reportedly screamed.”
Jeopardy champion and New York Times best-selling author Ken Jennings wrote on Twitter, “Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad &amp; his little heart is breaking.”

Melania Responds To Food Network Host Mocking Her And Barron On Father’s Day

In an attempt at humor, a comedian who has had the prestigious job of hosting the &#8220;Halloween Baking Championship&#8221; on the Food Network decided to celebrate Father’s Day by taking a shot at President Trump, with the collateral damage falling on Trump’s 14-year-old son Barron and Trump’s wife Melania.
John Henson, (no relation to Jim Henson of Muppets fame) tweeted this snarky comment on Sunday, implying God-knows-what about the First lady and her son: “I hope Barron gets to spend today with whoever his dad is.”
https://twitter.com/John_Henson/status/1274760237149384704
The <a href="https://www.foodnetwork.com/profiles/talent/john-henson/john-henson-bio">Food Network’s bio</a> of Henson notes that he has two children of his own:
<blockquote>With over 20 years of acting, writing, hosting and producing credits, John Henson is a veteran of the television industry. Henson began his professional career as a stand-up comedian, touring the country before gaining audience attention and critical acclaim as host, writer and co-executive producer of E! Entertainment’s Talk Soup. In this role, John won a cult following, and three Emmy Award nominations.
Over the course of his career, he has also co-hosted and produced ABC’s Wipeout, Spike TV’s The John Henson Project, and TV Guide Network’s Watch This. He also starred in FX’s Anger Management and NBC’s My Name is Earl, and hosted truTV’s Funniest Commercials specials as well as guest hosted of Who Wants to be a Millionaire… John resides in Los Angeles with his wife, son and daughter.</blockquote>
Henson obviously got the performing bug early, according to <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0378217/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm">IMDB</a>: “John Henson started acting when he was eight years old and tried everything he could&#8211;even singing and dancing. It was at Boston University that he began performing improvisational comedy. He loved the adrenaline rush it gave him so he quit school at the age of 20 to do stand-up full time.”
Henson even had his <a href="https://abcwipeout.fandom.com/wiki/John_Henson">own production company</a>. It was named Skunk Boy, Inc.
Henson may have gotten the inspiration for his attempt at humor by watching MSNBC: last September there was this exchange between host Joe Scarborough and his wife Mika Brzezinski, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/morning-jo-new-low-mika-suggests-barron-isnt-amanda-prestigiacomo">The Daily Wire</a> reported:
<blockquote>Scarborough: &#8220;We’re going to have Donald Trump, yesterday, I think it was yesterday, in the White House, talking about Melania’s son.”
Brzezinski: &#8220;Maybe it is Melania&#8217;s son.”
Scarborough: &#8220;It is Melania’s son?&#8221;
Brzezinski: &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s what he was saying. He was saying it was just her son,&#8221; referring to President Trump discussing a ban on flavored vaping products. &#8220;It’s not — that&#8217;s just what he said.&#8221;
Scarborough: &#8220;Let me get back to Biden, because I don’t know exactly what you&#8217;re saying.&#8221;
Brzezinski: &#8220;It seems that he didn&#8217;t remember Barron’s name or —”
Scarborough: &#8220;Just stop, just stop.”</blockquote>
Trump had <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCwi6nDAiRk">told</a> reporters, “Vaping has become a very big business as I understand it, like a giant business in a very short period of time. But we can’t allow people to get sick, and we can’t have our youth be so affected. And I’m hearing it, and that’s how the First Lady got involved. She’s got a son, together, that is a beautiful young man and she feels very, very strongly about it.”
