When Barron Trump Showed He’s Cooler Than His Dad, Donald: 5 Standout Examples

Just about the nicest compliment anybody can pay Donald Trump is that he’s an awful person. From his narcissistic personality, bankruptcies, two impeachments, and multiple civil and criminal cases against him, he is quite simply a human dumpster fire. His three eldest offspring—Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric—aren’t much better. His youngest daughter, Tiffany, seems somewhat grounded, and perhaps it’s because they’ve never had much of a relationship. But it is his youngest son, Barron, who gives us hope in humanity because he’s shown signs that he’s unafraid to stand up to his bully of a father. In fact, here are five moments when Barron proved that he might just be a badass.

1. He hacked into his dad’s computer

During a moment of youthful curiosity, Barron Trump stumbled upon his father’s unlocked computer, its screen beckoning with intrigue. Temptation overpowered caution as he navigated through the digital maze, uncovering files and secrets not meant to be seen. In a mix of awe and mischief, he toyed with settings and accessed forbidden corners of cyberspace. The incident, which the former president made reference to at the 2022 CPAC, left the Trump household briefly in disarray. Yet, it also served as a reminder of the boundless curiosity and innate ingenuity residing within the young Trump scion, foreshadowing his future endeavors in the world of technology.

2. He sees through his dad’s BS

Barron Trump’s reluctance to express love for his father is a clear indication that he loathes him. Shielded from the relentless public scrutiny, Barron guards his sentiments closely, navigating the intricate balance between familial loyalty and personal authenticity. His father said so much during a conversation with former head of the White House Correspondents Association Jonathan Karl, in which he compared Karl’s lack of excitement over Donald’s possible appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner to Barron’s lack of enthusiasm of being Trump’s son.

3. He was not impressed with his dad’s debate performance vs Biden

Barron Trump’s disapproval of his father’s conduct during the presidential debate against challenger Joe Biden reflects a poignant moment of familial conflict amidst the intense political arena. As he observed his father’s hostile demeanor and tendency to interrupt when it was Biden’s turn to speak, Barron grappled with a sense of disappointment and unease. The spectacle of aggression and discord clashed with the younger Trump’s ideals of decorum and respect, leaving him disheartened by his dad’s lack of civility.

4. He boycotted his dad’s White House farewell ceremony

Barron Trump’s absence during his father’s farewell ceremony on his last day in office symbolized a poignant moment of separation and introspection. While his mother, Melenia, and four siblings were present, Barron chose solitude, perhaps seeking refuge from all of the chaos that his father had created while refusing to concede the election. His absence echoed a silent protest or a quiet retreat, a testament to the complexities of growing up under the glare of public scrutiny and familial expectations.

5. Father and son don’t even bond over sports

Donald is a lover of sports, as demonstrated by his running the USFL to the ground and cheating at golf at every opportunity. But he and Barron’s lack of bonding over sports underscores the poignant gap in their relationship. Despite sports being a common avenue for father-son connection, their divergent passions create a palpable distance between them. Indeed, Barron is regarded as a pretty decent soccer player, even earning a spot on the DC United U-12 club back in elementary school, and yet while Melena was often spotted attending his matches, Donald was unsurprisingly never around. But it’s pretty clear that Barron was never bothered by this.
