Despite many speculating that Donald Trump is jealous of Barron Trump, he took time out of his interview with Dr. Phil to defend his youngest son. When the host asked how Barron handled public criticism from a young age, the controversial politician divulged that he is only enduring it to help him out. “It’s not easy. He’s a great kid — he’s a good student, got accepted to different colleges […] He doesn’t say it, because he doesn’t want to hurt me — but it has to affect my family and I think that’s really very unfair,” Donald revealed (via X, formerly known as Twitter), going on to say that he wished all the negativity was aimed solely at him.
“I have a very good family; I have good kids, and a wonderful wife — it’s not easy for her to read some of this fake stuff. It affects me more than it would if it was just about me. I wish it could be just about me,” he bemoaned. But Donald has no real need to worry about Barron since Melania Trump reportedly won’t shed her helicopter mom ways even when he heads off to college, and will continue fiercely protecting her son accordingly until he graduates. “Melania will keep her hand on Barron’s future just as much going forward as she has throughout his early and current school years,” a source informed People. “He is her world.”
