Here's Why You Rarely Saw Barron During Trump's Presidency

Donald Trump’s last speech as President on January 20 might have brought relief to many of his critics, but a lot of them couldn’t help but notice that one person was missing. His wife Melania was there, as were his four oldest kids, but youngest son Barron was nowhere to be found. Had they left him in the house and forgotten him? Was he already chilling on the plane? Had he disappeared like Chuck on Happy Days?

It wasn’t the first function that Barron was left out of either, which led to a lot of jokes and also some genuine concern on social media. Let’s take a look at why you rarely saw Barron during Donald Trump’s presidency.

No matter what you think of Trump, do NOT go after a child.

[lisabinhawaii]

Let me save you some time: the video doesn't know why he was absent.

[rickbailey]

Attacking ANY president's young children should be OFF LIMITS to ALL news media. Never take your disgust for the man out on his children. That is too low.

[marlenaforbes-reidy]

He’s entitled to his privacy, his mother has been very protective of him like any normal mother would be.

[tomtom]

A long winded way of saying, "we got no clue"

[Starowlnightwatch]

Can't be easy to be a kid with a parent that's constantly in the public eye. People can be ridiculously cruel.

[erikakathleen]

Barron is a lovely boy.
God bless him.

[kurtrhoney]

Meliana was smart enough to keep him out of the shit show!! Of all the things she did, this was her smartest move!

[silverforever]

I think Melania is very protective of him...and as a parent I totally understand that.

[cynthiacook]

The parents do the best they can to protect their children I do not care if a minor child belongs to a politician or to a Royal family people need to let the children be and let them enjoy their childhood I’m very proud of his mother for stopping the bullying and there is definitely something wrong when adults bully a child

[joannehooper]

He is a very special young man. The world will see this in the near future.

[minnieburton]

Barron seems to be a very sweet and respectable young man. Lets just wish him well

[lazysob]

The kid obviously stands out, being 6’ 6+” tall and not even 17 yet! For some kids that’s enough to not want to be in the spot light. Even athletes who make a living off being tall have a hard time with being the object of attention. The media for various reasons seems to think that getting back at someone they disagree with should includes attacking their kids.

[marietamanzana]

Leave the child alone, give him the privacy he deserves.

[dausonstimpson-gagnon]

All politician's kids should be left out of the equation, period.

[ThenegryZumba]

That kid seems very unhappy must of the time.

[samsomerville]

Seriously as a teenager he must be so embarrassed, I would want to be there either.

[roberthboyd]

A child deserves privacy. Teenage years are hard. Now he can get his privacy.

[sandraterrell]

I applaude Melania for protecting her child against such a malicious society.

Just listen to the commentary here and you would understand why Baron doesn’t want to deal with the public.
