#1 Barron Trump

Donald Trump's children have all become very well known over the years, mostly for their business savvy and numerous products as well as appearances on their dad's television shows, The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice. The youngest son, the only child with current wife Melania, Barron, remains a mystery to the public. The 10-year-old won over the hearts of America as he stood on stage in the wee hours of the morning waiting for his father, Donald Trump, to make his victory speech as he was elected the next president of the United States.

#2 He Is The Only Child Of Donald & Melania

One thing about the future First Family is that it is going to be significantly bigger than the Obama family was, though his adult children, Donald Jr, Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany probably won't move into the White House since they have lives of their own. The first three children are with Donald's first wife, Ivana, and Tiffany is from his marriage to Marla Maples. Barron is the only child he has with Melania Knauss Trump, and the three live together at Trump Tower in Manhattan, NY. Barron was born in 2006, one year after the couple married.

#3 He Won't Be Moving To The White House Right Away

The Presidential Inauguration is set for January 20th, 2016, and Melania and son Barron will not be moving into the White house when the new President takes office. According to the New York Post, Barron will remain in Manhattan, where he is reportedly attending the prestigious and very expensive Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School. Trump confirmed that his son and wife will not move to DC until after the school year is over because it's a sensitivity issue with pulling a kid away from his friends and school right in the middle.

#4 First Boy To Live In The White House In Decades

Once he actually makes it to DC, if he does at all, according to sources, Barron will be the very first young male child to grace the halls in nearly sixty years. The last time the White House had a boy living in it was back in 1961 when John F. Kennedy's son, JFK Jr., moved into the White House when he was just a baby.

#5 He's Not Into Wearing Sweatpants

Coming from a billionaire family, little Barron has been dressed for success since he was born. It's also hard not to dress formally when your father owns a business suit ant tie company. "He's not a sweatpants child," Melania said while discussing her son with ABC News in 2013. "He doesn't mind putting on a suit, but not every day, and he likes to dress up in a tie sometimes like Daddy." Sources claim he wears a suit and tie just about everywhere he goes and even to sister Ivanka's book release party, where it was informal.

#6 He Moisturizes His Skin With Caviar

Really! In case you hadn't noticed, little Barron Trump is not your typical little boy. Melania told ABC News that she always washed his face with her caviar-infused moisturizer from her own line of cosmetics, every morning and night. "It smells very, very fresh," Melania said of her Caviar Complex C6 skin care line. "I put it on him from head to toe. He likes it."

#7 He Takes After His Father

There is already a Donald Jr., but Melania refers to Barron as "Little Donald" because he is just like his father in so many ways. As if wearing suits and moisturizing your skin with caviar wasn't enough, Melania told Parenting Magazine, "He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy, He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants. Sometimes I call him little Donald. He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him little Donald." She told the magazine that he likes to build things and tear them down and claims he is very detail oriented like his father.

#8 He May Or May Not Have A Nanny

"I like to be hands-on," Melania told People magazine in 2015. "I think it's very important. Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time. As you know my husband is traveling all the time." However, just a few days after the article was published, Donald told The New York Post that Barron had a full-time girl who worked with him. Sources claim Melania is often seen picking Barron up at school and is very devoted, but the same source also said there was a nanny for the royal child. Who knows?

#9 He Is Fluent In Two Languages

Though Melania claims that Barron is exactly like his father, he has a little bit of her in him as well. That is evidenced in his ability to speak two languages. Apparently, Barron "speaks Slovenian fluently," and frequently uses the language to talk with Melania's parents, who live near Trump Tower.

#10 He Lives Like A King

Barron has an entire floor at Trump Tower to himself. He has everything he could ever want or need. Melania told US Magazine in 2015 that Barron has it made in the shade with his own golf setup, bowling lanes, and several computers and high-tech equipment instead of toys. With a set up like that, it's no wonder he's in no hurry to move to the White House.

#11 He May Have A Future In Manga

Japanese artist Yuusuke Horito was inspired to create a Manga fake cover of Barron after watching the boys televised appearance during his father's victory speech. The work features a tearful Barron with the title "My loud, annoying dad is president, so the quiet unassuming life I wanted is completely over." The artwork was viral worldwide after the artist released it to The Telegraph and the AV Club.

#12 He Won't Be In The Spotlight

Like the Obama girls, Barron doesn't want to be any part of the spotlight. Melania is hoping to shield him from the public as best she can. In an October 2016 interview with ABC News she said, "I teach him, I explain to him so he knows what's going on," she said. "And he's taking very well. I keep him balanced and just have him a childhood as normal as possible. And he's enjoying his school and his sports. He's a great athlete. And I just want to have him out of the spotlight for now." Barron is glad to hear that, since he seems to fade into the background everytime a camera is focused on the family.

#13 Rosie O'Donnell Went After Him On Twitter

Rosie O'Donnell, whose feud with Donald Trump has been going on for about a decade, found herself embroiled in another Trump-related scandal when she shared on Twitter a video implying that Barron might be autistic. "Barron Trump Autistic?" she wrote in a since-deleted tweet (via CBS News). "If so, what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic." However, fans of the Donald went ballistic and claimed Rosie was bashing the child for being Autistic, something the Trumps neither confirm or deny. The outrage forced the actress and former talk show host to serve up an apology on her website. She claimed she still despised Donald, and always will, but held no ill will towards his family or children.

Incidentally, according to TMZ, the YouTube user who created the controversial video also received a letter from Melania Trump's attorney threatening to sue him.

#14 Parents At His School Are Freaking Out

Donald Trump's presidential victory has created major headaches for the city of New York and with all the police and security around Trump Tower, it's virtually impossible to get anywhere near the building. It has left NY in an outrage. But even worse, the parents from Barron's school, the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School, are pretty upset as well. Most are worried about their children's safety and have concerns. Some are outraged at the inconvenience the security has caused and other annoyances like how the elevators get blocked off while Melania escorts Barron up and down floors and in and out of the building. Parent Wednesday Martin told Vanity Fair, "They talk about the traffic and disruption and inconvenience this will cause and link it to Trump's lack of regard for others as well as his lack of respect for protocol." So much for caring for the little people.

#15 Where Will Barron Attend School In DC?

Okay, we're assuming he actually moves from New York to Washington, but many are speculating on where the 'first boy' will attend school once he does arrive in the capital. According to the Washington Post, all eye are on the private school Sidwell Friends, where Presidents have sent their kids for over three decades. However, the school has a very liberal agenda, and does not match the beliefs of the future president. There are other prestigious private schools in Washington but it's a safe bet that Barron won't attend public school like Amy Carter did in the 1970s. Donald Trump is seeking to defund public schooling, according to Mother Jones.
