| Boilerpipe Text | President Donald Trump Reveals Son Barron Trump's "Unbelievable" Skill
Everything's computer for
Barron Trump
.
After all, President
Donald Trump
said his First Lady
Melania Trump
son, who turned 19 on March 20, can navigate technology better than he can.
"I turn off his laptop,'" the commander in chief began in a
March 19 interview
with Fox News host
Laura Ingraham
, "and I go back about five minutes later, he’s got his laptop. I say, 'How do you do that?'"
Barron's response? "'None of your business, dad,'" Trump quipped, adding that the teenager's "got an unbelievable aptitude in technology."
But that's not all. According to Melania, it was Barron's idea to connect the 78-year-old with podcasters and streamers to reach younger voters during the 2024 presidential election.
"I'm very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving an advice to his father," she shared during a
December appearance on
Fox & Friends
. "He knows his generation—because nowadays the young generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore. They’re all on the tablets. They’re on the phones."
And Barron's astute acumen was why Melania had no problem letting him
stay in the city to study at New York University
while she
relocated to the White House
for Trump's second presidency.
"We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly," the 54-year-old told the outlet in January. "And I always respect Barron's yes and no and what he likes to do, where he would like to be."
People outside of the family have
taken notice of Barron's keen insight into the world
as well.

"He's well beyond his years in terms of experience, knowledge, history,” designer
Nathan Pearce
, who collaborated with Barron on a collection of suits to Trump's second inauguration, told
Women’s Wear Daily
in January. "He’s just very fascinating to talk to."
Describing the college freshman as "down-to-earth, nice as can be and hospitable," Nathan continued, "You put him in a room with star businessmen and he will hold his own."
He added of Barron, "He can talk to them all day because he’s witty, smart and has a dry sense of humor."

Ivana Trump
Ivana Trump
was the first wife of
President-elect Donald Trump
. Born in Gottwaldov, Czechoslovakia—now ZlĂn of the Czech Republic—in 1949, she rose to fame as a competitive skier. And, thanks to her marriage to Austrian ski instructor
Alfred Winklmayr
in 1971, Ivana was able to travel often outside of Czechoslovakia.
According to her book
Raising Trump
, the model met Donald three years after her 1973 divorce during a New York trip, where she'd traveled for a Canadian fashion show ahead of the Montreal Olympics. They wed in 1977 and welcomed three kids:
Donald Trump Jr.
born in 1977,
Ivanka Trump
born in 1981 and
Eric Trump
born in 1984.
The pair's divorce was finalized in 1992 following his affair with
Marla Maples
, whom he later married.
However, Ivana—who then married
Riccardo
Mazzucchelli
for two years followed by
Rossano Rubicondi
for less than a year—and Donald remained on good terms.
“Donald during the divorce was brutal,” she told ABC News in 2017. “He took the divorce as a business deal, and he cannot lose. He has to win. So he took about two years. And after the final situation was straightened up, we would just talk and we are friends.”
Ivana
died in 2022 at age 73
. According to
NBC News
, the New York City Medical Examiner said she died of “
blunt impact injuries
” and that her manner of death was an accident. A senior NYC official with direct knowledge added the circumstances were consistent with a fall on the stairs in her New York apartment.

Donald Trump Jr.
In 1977, Ivana and Donald welcomed their eldest son
Donald Trump Jr
. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in finance and real estate from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in 2000 and began working for his father’s company The Trump Organization in 2001, where he now serves as the executive vice president.
Don Jr. is also a director for both Trump Media & Technology Group Corp and PublicSquare Holdings and part of 1789 Capital firm. In addition, he's been involved in his dad’s political campaigns, including speaking at rallies and the Republican National Convention during his father's presidential runs.
Don Jr. shares five children with his ex-wife, model
Vanessa
Haydon
:
Kai
(who also
made a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention
)
Donald
III
,
Tristan, Spencer
and
Chloe
.
Don Jr. was previously engaged to Fox News alum
Kimberly Guilfoyle
. However, he recently confirmed their split.
"Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other," he told
Page Six
Dec. 13, "and will always keep a special bond."
Don Jr. has since been linked to socialite
Bettina Anderson
. As for Vanessa, she is
dating
Tiger Woods
.

Ivanka Trump
Four years after the arrival of Don Jr., Donald and Ivana became parents to daughter
Ivanka Trump
.
Before her father’s presidency, the University of Pennsylvania alum worked at The Trump Organization. But after he was elected in 2016, the fashion brand founder—who had her own eponymous line—took on the role of Advisor to the President.
After her dad announced he would be running for president again in 2024, Ivanka revealed she would be stepping out of the political arena to focus on her family with husband, former White House senior advisor
Jared Kushner
, and their children
Arabella
,
Joseph
and
Theodore
.
“I love my father very much,” she said in part of a 2022 statement obtained by
NBC News
. “This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”

Eric Trump
Born in 1984,
Eric Trump
is the third child of Ivana and Donald. He graduated with a degree in finance and management from Georgetown University.
Like his brother, Eric works as executive vice president of The Trump Organization, which he joined in 2007. He is also president of Trump Winery.
Eric is married to Republican National Committee co-chair
Lara
Trump
, with whom he shares kids
Luke
 and
Carolina
.

Marla Maples
Marla Maples
is Donald’s second wife, whom he met while still married to Ivana.
In
Raising Trump
, Ivana wrote the actress approached her about the affair during a trip to Aspen in 1989. Still, Marla said on a 2018 episode of the ABC podcast
Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris
 that she “never considered” herself a mistress.Â
"My intention was to never bring hurt," she continued. "Do I wish more than anything that we could have had this relationship after his divorce papers were signed? Absolutely. I mean, with all my heart. How much heartache would it have saved so many people if I had seen that piece of paper before we got involved? But it didn't happen that way."Â
Marla and Donald welcomed daughter
Tiffany Trump
in 1993, and the couple wed later that year. However, the
Dancing With the Stars
alum and the 47th commander in chief announced their separation four years later and finalized their divorce in 1999.

Tiffany Trump
After her parents’ breakup,
Tiffany Trump
relocated with her mother to California.
"She moved us out of New York to get out of the spotlight and let me grow up and find my own identity versus being in the shadow of a name or growing up very young with all that pressure,” Tiffany told
People
in 2016. “So, she wanted me to have a chance to have a normal childhood. As normal as possible. I think that she did well in that.”
She released her 2011 single “Like a Bird" and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 with a B.A. in sociology, focusing on law and society. She then went to Georgetown Law School, where she graduated with a JD in 2020.
In 2022, Tiffany wed
Michael Boulos
. Her father
announced they're expecting their first baby
during an October 2024 speech at the Detroit Economic Club. "She’s an exceptional young woman," he said during his remarks. "And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”
The little one
made his debut
on May 15, 2025.
"Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy,
Alexander Trump Boulos
," Tiffany wrote on
X
on his birthday. "We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives!"

Melania Trump
Melania Trump
is Donald’s third wife and current First Lady of the United States. Born in Mesto, Slovenia in 1970, she is the second First Lady to be born outside of the U.S. and the only First Lady to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Melania met Donald in New York in 1996 while she was working as a model.
“It was a big fashion party that my friend organized, fashion week, and he invited me,” she recalled on a 2016 episode of
On the Record With Greta Van Susteren
. “That’s how we met with Donald.”
Melania and Donald married in 2005, and they welcomed son
Barron Trump
the following year.Â
In 2024, she released her memoir
Melania
and she's set to appear in a documentary. Melania has also spoken about where she
will spend her time
during her husband's second presidency.
"I will be in the White House," she told
Â
Fox & Friends
in an interview that aired Jan. 13. "When I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife. And once we're in on January 20, you serve the country."

Barron Trump
Born in 2006,
Barron Trump
is Donald and Melania’s only child. While he has lived a more private life—relocating with his parents from New York to live in Washington, D.C. and then Florida—it looked like he might enter the political world after he was selected in May 2024 as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention. However, Barron declined the offer.
"While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party,” a statement from Melania’s office shared with
NBC News
at the time said, “he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments.”
Like studying, perhaps, with Barron starting his freshman year at New York University in 2024. "He was accepted to a lot of colleges," his father told the
Daily Mail
 in an interview published Sept. 4. "He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU."
However, Melania told
Fox & Friends
in her interview that
Barron will come and visit
his family at the White House, and he was there for his father's
inauguration ceremony
in January 2025.

## Barron Trump
Born in 2006, **Barron Trump** is Donald and Melania’s only child. While he has lived a more private life—relocating with his parents from New York to live in Washington, D.C. and then Florida—it looked like he might enter the political world after he was selected in May 2024 as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention. However, Barron declined the offer.
"While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party,” a statement from Melania’s office shared with [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/barron-trump-declines-invitation-delegate-republican-convention-rcna151761) at the time said, “he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments.”
Like studying, perhaps, with Barron starting his freshman year at New York University in 2024. "He was accepted to a lot of colleges," his father told the [*Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13778655/barron-trump-college-nyu-stern-business-donald-son.html) in an interview published Sept. 4. "He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU."
However, Melania told *Fox & Friends* in her interview that [Barron will come and visit](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412132/melania-trump-shares-insight-into-son-barron-trumps-freshman-year-of-college?query=barron%20trump) his family at the White House, and he was there for his father's [inauguration ceremony](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412232/barron-trump-makes-rare-appearance-at-dad-donald-trumps-inauguration) in January 2025.

| Readable Markdown | President Donald Trump Reveals Son Barron Trump's "Unbelievable" Skill
Everything's computer for [**Barron Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/1405404/who-is-barron-trump-get-to-know-donald-trump-and-melania-trumps-18-year-old-son).
After all, President [**Donald Trump**](https://eonline.com/news/donald_trump) said his First Lady [**Melania Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/melania_trump) son, who turned 19 on March 20, can navigate technology better than he can.
"I turn off his laptop,'" the commander in chief began in a [March 19 interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiN-AWHxbGM) with Fox News host **Laura Ingraham**, "and I go back about five minutes later, he’s got his laptop. I say, 'How do you do that?'"
Barron's response? "'None of your business, dad,'" Trump quipped, adding that the teenager's "got an unbelievable aptitude in technology."
But that's not all. According to Melania, it was Barron's idea to connect the 78-year-old with podcasters and streamers to reach younger voters during the 2024 presidential election.
"I'm very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving an advice to his father," she shared during a [December appearance on *Fox & Friends*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hb-VXELyEc). "He knows his generation—because nowadays the young generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore. They’re all on the tablets. They’re on the phones."
And Barron's astute acumen was why Melania had no problem letting him [stay in the city to study at New York University](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412132/melania-trump-shares-insight-into-son-barron-trumps-freshman-year-of-college) while she [relocated to the White House](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412155/where-melania-trump-will-live-during-donald-trumps-presidency) for Trump's second presidency.
"We teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly," the 54-year-old told the outlet in January. "And I always respect Barron's yes and no and what he likes to do, where he would like to be."
People outside of the family have [taken notice of Barron's keen insight into the world](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412431/rare-insight-on-donald-trumps-son-barron-trump-revealed) as well.

"He's well beyond his years in terms of experience, knowledge, history,” designer **Nathan Pearce**, who collaborated with Barron on a collection of suits to Trump's second inauguration, told [Women’s Wear Daily](https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/barron-trump-inagural-suit-tailor-1236861786/) in January. "He’s just very fascinating to talk to."
Describing the college freshman as "down-to-earth, nice as can be and hospitable," Nathan continued, "You put him in a room with star businessmen and he will hold his own."
He added of Barron, "He can talk to them all day because he’s witty, smart and has a dry sense of humor."

## Ivana Trump
**Ivana Trump** was the first wife of [**President-elect Donald Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/donald_trump). Born in Gottwaldov, Czechoslovakia—now ZlĂn of the Czech Republic—in 1949, she rose to fame as a competitive skier. And, thanks to her marriage to Austrian ski instructor **Alfred Winklmayr** in 1971, Ivana was able to travel often outside of Czechoslovakia.
According to her book [*Raising Trump*](https://www.eonline.com/news/886011/meeting-donald-trump-a-confrontation-with-marla-maples-and-life-in-trump-tower-juicy-revelations-from-ivana-trump-s-memoir), the model met Donald three years after her 1973 divorce during a New York trip, where she'd traveled for a Canadian fashion show ahead of the Montreal Olympics. They wed in 1977 and welcomed three kids: **Donald Trump Jr.** born in 1977, **Ivanka Trump** born in 1981 and **Eric Trump** born in 1984.
The pair's divorce was finalized in 1992 following his affair with **Marla Maples**, whom he later married.
However, Ivana—who then married **Riccardo** **Mazzucchelli** for two years followed by **Rossano Rubicondi** for less than a year—and Donald remained on good terms.
“Donald during the divorce was brutal,” she told ABC News in 2017. “He took the divorce as a business deal, and he cannot lose. He has to win. So he took about two years. And after the final situation was straightened up, we would just talk and we are friends.”
Ivana [died in 2022 at age 73](https://www.eonline.com/news/1338040/donald-trumps-ex-wife-ivana-trump-dead-at-73). According to [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ivana-trumps-death-ruled-accidental-medical-examiner-report-citing-blu-rcna38517), the New York City Medical Examiner said she died of “[blunt impact injuries](https://www.eonline.com/news/1338256/ivana-trumps-cause-of-death-revealed)” and that her manner of death was an accident. A senior NYC official with direct knowledge added the circumstances were consistent with a fall on the stairs in her New York apartment.

## Donald Trump Jr.
In 1977, Ivana and Donald welcomed their eldest son **Donald Trump Jr**. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in finance and real estate from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School in 2000 and began working for his father’s company The Trump Organization in 2001, where he now serves as the executive vice president.
Don Jr. is also a director for both Trump Media & Technology Group Corp and PublicSquare Holdings and part of 1789 Capital firm. In addition, he's been involved in his dad’s political campaigns, including speaking at rallies and the Republican National Convention during his father's presidential runs.
Don Jr. shares five children with his ex-wife, model **Vanessa** **Haydon**: **Kai** (who also [made a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention](https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/trump-s-granddaughter-takes-the-stage-at-the-rnc-215124038001)) **Donald** **III**, **Tristan, Spencer** and **Chloe**.
Don Jr. was previously engaged to Fox News alum [**Kimberly Guilfoyle**](https://www.eonline.com/news/1315019/donald-trump-jr-is-engaged-to-kimberly-guilfoyle). However, he recently confirmed their split.
"Kimberly and I will never stop caring for each other," he told [*Page Six*](https://pagesix.com/2024/12/13/gossip/donald-trump-jr-says-he-and-ex-kimberly-guilfoyle-share-special-bond-we-will-never-stop-caring-for-each-other/) Dec. 13, "and will always keep a special bond."
Don Jr. has since been linked to socialite **Bettina Anderson**. As for Vanessa, she is [dating **Tiger Woods**](https://www.eonline.com/news/1415142/tiger-woods-confirms-hes-dating-vanessa-trump).

## Ivanka Trump
Four years after the arrival of Don Jr., Donald and Ivana became parents to daughter [**Ivanka Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/ivanka_trump).
Before her father’s presidency, the University of Pennsylvania alum worked at The Trump Organization. But after he was elected in 2016, the fashion brand founder—who had her own eponymous line—took on the role of Advisor to the President.
After her dad announced he would be running for president again in 2024, Ivanka revealed she would be stepping out of the political arena to focus on her family with husband, former White House senior advisor [**Jared Kushner**](https://www.eonline.com/news/1339404/jared-kushner-reveals-he-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-while-working-at-white-house), and their children **Arabella**, **Joseph** and **Theodore**.
“I love my father very much,” she said in part of a 2022 statement obtained by [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ivanka-skips-trumps-2024-announcement-not-plan-involved-politics-rcna57419). “This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics.”

## Eric Trump
Born in 1984, **Eric Trump** is the third child of Ivana and Donald. He graduated with a degree in finance and management from Georgetown University.
Like his brother, Eric works as executive vice president of The Trump Organization, which he joined in 2007. He is also president of Trump Winery.
Eric is married to Republican National Committee co-chair **Lara** **Trump**, with whom he shares kids **Luke** and **Carolina**.

## Marla Maples
**Marla Maples** is Donald’s second wife, whom he met while still married to Ivana.
In *Raising Trump*, Ivana wrote the actress approached her about the affair during a trip to Aspen in 1989. Still, Marla said on a 2018 episode of the ABC podcast [*Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris*](https://abcaudio.com/podcasts/journeys-of-faith/) that she “never considered” herself a mistress.
"My intention was to never bring hurt," she continued. "Do I wish more than anything that we could have had this relationship after his divorce papers were signed? Absolutely. I mean, with all my heart. How much heartache would it have saved so many people if I had seen that piece of paper before we got involved? But it didn't happen that way."
Marla and Donald welcomed daughter [**Tiffany Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/1043254/how-tiffany-trump-s-world-diverged-from-her-famous-family) in 1993, and the couple wed later that year. However, the [*Dancing With the Stars*](https://www.eonline.com/news/dancing_with_the_stars) alum and the 47th commander in chief announced their separation four years later and finalized their divorce in 1999.

## Tiffany Trump
After her parents’ breakup, **Tiffany Trump** relocated with her mother to California.
"She moved us out of New York to get out of the spotlight and let me grow up and find my own identity versus being in the shadow of a name or growing up very young with all that pressure,” Tiffany told [*People*](https://people.com/politics/tiffany-trump-all-about-the-youngest-trump-daughter/) in 2016. “So, she wanted me to have a chance to have a normal childhood. As normal as possible. I think that she did well in that.”
She released her 2011 single “Like a Bird" and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016 with a B.A. in sociology, focusing on law and society. She then went to Georgetown Law School, where she graduated with a JD in 2020.
In 2022, Tiffany wed [**Michael Boulos**](https://www.eonline.com/news/1354415/tiffany-trump-is-married-donald-trumps-daughter-weds-michael-boulos). Her father [announced they're expecting their first baby](https://www.eonline.com/news/1408494/donald-trumps-daughter-tiffany-trump-is-pregnant-expecting-first-baby-with-michael-boulos) during an October 2024 speech at the Detroit Economic Club. "She’s an exceptional young woman," he said during his remarks. "And she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”
The little one [made his debut](https://www.eonline.com/news/1415303/tiffany-trump-donald-trumps-daughter-welcomes-first-baby) on May 15, 2025.
"Welcome to the world our sweet baby boy, **Alexander Trump Boulos**," Tiffany wrote on [X](https://x.com/TiffanyATrump/status/1923055547646873830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1923055547646873830%7Ctwgr%5E5c542f34ef7ad04579b0b52cb2ca2816d21c9ea2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eonline.com%2Fnews%2F1415303%2Ftiffany-trump-donald-trumps-daughter-welcomes-first-baby) on his birthday. "We love you beyond words! Thank you for coming into our lives!"

## Melania Trump
[**Melania Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/melania_trump) is Donald’s third wife and current First Lady of the United States. Born in Mesto, Slovenia in 1970, she is the second First Lady to be born outside of the U.S. and the only First Lady to become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Melania met Donald in New York in 1996 while she was working as a model.
“It was a big fashion party that my friend organized, fashion week, and he invited me,” she recalled on a 2016 episode of [*On the Record With Greta Van Susteren*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFq9dretOW4). “That’s how we met with Donald.”
Melania and Donald married in 2005, and they welcomed son [**Barron Trump**](https://www.eonline.com/news/915451/how-barron-trump-s-white-house-life-is-different-and-the-same-as-other-modern-first-kids) the following year.
In 2024, she released her memoir *Melania* and she's set to appear in a documentary. Melania has also spoken about where she [will spend her time](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412155/where-melania-trump-will-live-during-donald-trumps-presidency) during her husband's second presidency.
"I will be in the White House," she told *[Fox & Friends](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBEExzc2JKM)* in an interview that aired Jan. 13. "When I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife. And once we're in on January 20, you serve the country."

## Barron Trump
Born in 2006, **Barron Trump** is Donald and Melania’s only child. While he has lived a more private life—relocating with his parents from New York to live in Washington, D.C. and then Florida—it looked like he might enter the political world after he was selected in May 2024 as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention. However, Barron declined the offer.
"While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party,” a statement from Melania’s office shared with [NBC News](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/barron-trump-declines-invitation-delegate-republican-convention-rcna151761) at the time said, “he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments.”
Like studying, perhaps, with Barron starting his freshman year at New York University in 2024. "He was accepted to a lot of colleges," his father told the [*Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13778655/barron-trump-college-nyu-stern-business-donald-son.html) in an interview published Sept. 4. "He's a very smart guy, and he'll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU."
However, Melania told *Fox & Friends* in her interview that [Barron will come and visit](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412132/melania-trump-shares-insight-into-son-barron-trumps-freshman-year-of-college?query=barron%20trump) his family at the White House, and he was there for his father's [inauguration ceremony](https://www.eonline.com/news/1412232/barron-trump-makes-rare-appearance-at-dad-donald-trumps-inauguration) in January 2025.
