First son Barron Trump has his own Cabinet, of sorts.
A new insider book dished that the 13-year-old son of the president and first lady Melania Trump is the boss of the president’s 10 grandchildren.
Barron, according to Inside Trump’s White House, being released tomorrow, “rules the grandkids” as the favorite uncle.
The big reveal in historian Doug Wead’s book, provided to Secrets, comes from half brother Donald Trump Jr., who described the first few days of the Trump presidency and the family’s experience of their first two nights inside the White House in 2017.
On the second night, Jan. 21, after a day of celebration, the White House staff filled a State Dining Room table with burgers and chicken fingers, Trump recalled. The adults couldn’t resist and joined their children in a mini-feast.
Wead wrote, “The children didn’t stay in the dining room long. They were soon scattered throughout the State Floor in a rousing game of White House hide-and-go-seek with Uncle Barron as the supervisor. ‘The kids all love Barron,’ Don Jr. explains. ‘He rules the grandkids.’’
That same night, as the adults dined, Eric and Lara Trump announced that they were having another child, Luke.
When the family applauded, Barron was drawn back to the State Dining Room to see what the commotion was about.
“What happened? What happened?” he asked. Told of the news about a 10th Trump grandchild on the way, he said, “OK,” as the grandchildren called from the East Room where they were playing. “Uncle Barron was needed elsewhere,” wrote Wead.
The New York Times best-selling author, who is the official Trump biographer, also suggested that in a family of tall men and women, Barron is fast on his way to being the tallest.
At 13, he already appears taller than his mom and dad, who stands six-foot, two inches, and getting close to his tallest brother, Eric, at six-foot, five inches.
“By the time I finish this book, Barron may stand taller than any of them,” wrote Wead.
Throughout the administration, the first family has been protective of Barron, following a pattern set by other White House parents with younger children.
Still, he has been assailed on the internet.
Wead told Secrets, “He’s not in the book very often, but he’s a star.”
He added, “Imagine, he came in a 10-year-old boy, and he will leave as a man, perhaps taller than all of the brothers. Imagine such a physical transformation, which you can see? Every time you buy shoes, they are the wrong size. And then imagine the emotional and intellectual transformation that you cannot see. The attacks on his father and mother.”
“No wonder Melania is protective.”
