Inside Barron Trump’s ‘very close’ relationship with his grandpa

Barron Trump’s life has always been more private than the public would like.

Being the son of a business mogul, his life has always been filled with luxury.

Still, those close to him describe Barron as a grounded young man and “an old soul who is smart, well-spoken and well-read.”

A source told People Magazine that the youngest son of President Donald Trump “has lived through experiences others his age haven’t.”

His upbringing was greatly influenced by his grandparents from his mother’s side.

What’s most, the same source claimed the young Trump “has more characteristics of a European than an American.”

“He isn’t as aggressive as many of his age when they are in their own social circles. He is someone who listens before talking, and is super polite,” the source explained.

During an occasion, while speaking of Barron’s height at a campaign rally, Trump mentioned his late mother-in-law and thanked her for everything she had done for his son and his family.

“I want to thank her incredible, beautiful mother who passed away a few days ago,” he said. “And she’s up there, way up there. She’s looking down and she’s so proud of us,” he told the crowd.

“And I just want to say to Amalija, you are special, one of the most special people I’ve ever known,” he added.

Trump further added, “Great people, great parents to all of us, really. Great parents, but also to Barron. Boy, did she take care of Barron. That’s how he got so tall, he only ate her food.”

Speaking of her mother, Melania told Fox News, “Her life was incredible in Slovenia.

“Once Barron was born, he was her focus. It’s almost like she was a second mother, especially because of my schedule in the White House and being so busy. They had an incredible bond. Her and Barron, it was a relationship like no other.” 

Amelija and Viktor Knavs adored their grandson Barron.

“Both her parents spend a huge amount of time in the White House, living there,” a source told CBS. “There’s a unit within the family unit, and it’s Melania, her mother, her father, and Barron. And they all speak Slovenian. And it’s kind of interesting: the Secret Service has no idea what they’re saying.”

Barron and his grandfather Viktor Knavs share a special bond, a source close to the family has revealed. “Viktor is extremely close to his grandson, Barron, and you often see them walking around Mar-a-Lago together – or at least you did before Barron went off to New York University,” they told Daily Mail.

“He keeps himself very much to himself. Melania spends most of her time in her private quarters, and that’s where Viktor and Ines tend to be,” the source further added. “They are private people, very proud of Melania and devoted to her.”
