Melania Trump has taken helicopter mom to a new level, as she plans on guiding her son, Barron Trump, through his college career. Still, at the end of the day, the former first lady just wants Barron to be happy. A source told People, “He is still young and has a lot in front of him. She wants him to be happy and settled in his future endeavors.” Although Melania is involved in many of Barron’s decision, the source said that the former first lady wants him to make his own choices. They shared, “She wants him to pursue what he wants to do. He is smart and has his own opinions but they are still being shaped.” However, it seems like Melania hasn’t completely let go of the reins.
In early May, Barron was supposed to have another thing in common with his dad, Donald Trump, as he was scheduled to take on his first political event. Republican Party of Florida chairman Evan Power revealed that the youngest Trump was picked to serve as a Florida delegate at the Republican National Convention. For Trump fanatics, this was exciting, as another family member was entering the political field, but their excitement was quickly crushed.
Forbes revealed that Melania’s team had canceled Barron’s appearance due to “prior commitments.” They didn’t elaborate on what those commitments were, but it seemed to show many the control Melania continues to have over her son.
