In recent weeks, Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has experienced a massive surge in popularity on TikTok, emerging as an unexpected figure of fascination among users. The newfound attention centers around a resurfaced video from 2010, featuring a young Barron expressing his delight over his suitcase in a segment from CNN’s “Larry King Live.”
In the clip, a four-year-old Barron, dressed in a suit, exclaims with a strong Slovenian accent, “I like my suitcase!” He then asks, “I have to go to school now? Now I’m gonna go?”
His mother, Melania, responds, “First we’ll have lunch and then you go to school,” while Donald Trump adds, “You can do reading, writing, and arithmetic.”
