The Slovenian accent of Donald Trump's son, born in 2006, goes viral

Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has recently gained attention online as his father's campaign for the 2024 presidential election gains momentum. Barron, who turns 18 on March 20, 2024, is stepping into the political spotlight, reportedly offering political advice and technological insights to his father's team.

Born in 2006, Barron grew up in the Trump family's opulent penthouse in New York City and attended elite private schools on Manhattan's Upper West Side. His parents, Donald and Melania Trump, married in 2005 and were expecting Barron soon after.

When Donald Trump took office in January 2017, Melania and Barron stayed in New York City for several months so Barron could finish his freshman year. During the summer, Barron visited his family at the White House.

Melania Trump has always tried to shield Barron from the public.

An old video of four-year-old Barron speaking with a Slovenian accent has gone viral on social media platform X.

The video comes from the family's appearance on CNN's “Larry King Live” in April 2010 and shows young Barron playfully interacting with the talk show host.

In the video, Melania tells Barron to say hello to Larry King, and the little boy waves vigorously at the camera.

At one point, Barron picks up his suitcase and asks his mother if he has to go to school. Melania replies, “Yes, you eat lunch and then you go to school.” The video also captures a moment where Barron kneels next to his open luggage, after which Donald Trump remarks, “Now you can read, write and do math.”

Larry King later notices Barron's accent, to which Melania responds and confirms that Barron spends most of his time with her.

Donald Trump adds: “I think it's great. Anything he does is fine with me.” Melania also claims that Barron speaks three languages, prompting Trump to proudly refer to him as the “smart one.”
