Barron William Trump was born on March 20, 2006, in New York City. Having grown up inside of Trump Tower in New York City, where he has an entire floor to himself, Barron has always known a life of luxury.

Since his father took office Barron has remained largely out of sight, but we've managed to learn quite a bit about about America's new boy-prince. For starters, his pre-White House living situation at Trump Tower was unimaginably sweet. Oh, and his mother used to moisturize his face with caviar but you probably could have guessed that.

In her interview with Parenting (via Redbook), Melania Trump revealed that Barron's Trump Tower digs are so sweet, he actually has an entire floor to himself, complete with his own personal flourishes like the incorporation of "planes and helicopters" into the decor of the rest of the house. Not only that, but it was no big deal if he wanted to draw all over the walls, because "we can paint it over," she said. No wonder that they weren't in a rush to move him into the White House.

Since Barron Trump's official appearances have been limited to traditional first family events like Inauguration Day festivities and the White House Easter Egg Roll, it seems like Donald and Melania Trump intend to uphold the tradition of keeping kids of first families mostly out of the public eye.

That plan seems to be firmly in place, as of this writing, at least, according to the Washington Examiner which reported in December 2018 that Barron "rarely appears in public with his parents." Speaking with Fox News' Sean Hannity around the same time, Melania said that even though Barron isn't living "a normal life" since the family's move to Washington D.C., he is "enjoying" it there. She also said her efforts to "protect" him from public scrutiny are required to "give him the childhood he deserves."

United States President Donald Trump said that he and First Lady Melania Trump have asked their 13-year son Barron to not vape. He further said that they have warned their son about the health hazards of vaping. The US President made the statement on the lawn of the White House while responding to the question of a reporter on the evening of September 12. He also said that they told Barron that they don't like the feeling of him vaping and have repeatedly told him not to vape.

Earlier, the Trump administration had announced that it would ban the sale of vaping liquids used in e-cigarettes as they have been allegedly used by different companies as a marketing strategy that specifically targets children.

With the Food and Drug Administration ban coming into effect, organizations wanting to sell e-cigarettes will have to ask for official permits that would, in turn, allow them to sell their products. The entire process to get federal approvals may stretch to more than a year.

"He is a very strong-minded, very special, smart boy," Melania told Parenting (via Redbook). "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."

In a 2013 interview with ABC News, Melania again referred to Barron as "mini-Donald," which if we're being honest, has to sting a little for Barron's older half-brother, the actual Donald Jr.

I love every minute of it."
