Barron Trump inspires a lot of curiosity. The youngest son of Donald Trump is a student at NYU and has lived on and off in the White House since his father's first presidency. He's tall and has a close relationship with his mother, Melania Trump. That's about all we know. According to Lara Trump, the wife of Barron's brother Eric, Barron's desire to lay low is one of the reasons why he's so popular.

"What is Barron Trump like? Does he like that the entire internet is obsessed with him?" read the question. "I feel like he's the sleeper," said Lara. "You want to hear more about Barron 'cause you see less of him. And I think that's kind of cool."
Lara revealed that she's not sure if Barron knows if the internet is obsessed with him, but he's aware of people's interest. She claims this is one of the reasons why "he likes to lay low."
"That's why he likes to play it cool. That's why you don't see him all the time," she said. "It's crazy because I've seen Barron grow up, which means I'm 160 years old... But he's turned out to be a really great kid."
Lara shared an update on his education, revealing that he enjoyed his career and had two years left. She said that he's excited to "get out and work," something that has been echoed in previous reporting, with Barron getting involved with a yerba mate company earlier this year.
She also said that Barron is very aware of the world and some of the prominent topics that are currently in discussion, like AI. "In fact, we had a huge discussion at dinner on Sunday night at the White House about whether a certain image, I won't tell you what it is, was AI or real," she said. "And Barron and I were the only two that said, 'That's AI. You guys are all wrong. It's AI.' We were right. Proved it that night."

The source claims that making money and a name for himself is how he wishes to impress his family. "He wants to make his own mark.”
