Truth behind Barron Trump's 'leaked photo' revealed as Melania warned people responsible would face 'immediate consequences'
Unknown
Protective mother and US First Lady, Melania Trump, has reportedly spoken out about the "leaked" photographs of her son that were taken last year.
The wife of President Donald Trump is said to have sent a grave warning to Mar-a-Lago members against photographing her son Barron Trump during the December holiday events.
According to journalist Rob Shuter, Melania believes that her 20-year-old son’s privacy is “non-negotiable”.
Melania threatens to punish people who photograph Barron
The First Lady even apparently threatened to ban club members if they did not respect the New York University student’s wish to stay out of the public eye.
Radar Online reported that "Melania made it very clear that Barron’s privacy is non-negotiable.
"Anyone caught filming or taking pictures would face immediate consequences, including potential banning from the club."
Media outlets reported that Barron was seen walking behind his father in a dining area at Mar-a-Lago in the photo.
However, the image in question has failed to surface since it was reportedly taken in December last year.
A political source told People that Melania remains vigilant in ensuring Barron is not harassed or photographed without permission, and she "watches Barron constantly in an effort to be sure nobody messes with him or bullies him.”
Allegedly, "she always knows where he is and what he's doing."
Barron has kept a low profile since he started college
The president’s youngest son, who towers over his father at 6ft 7in, is in his second year of college at New York University's Washington, D.C., campus after studying in New York City for his freshman year.
The college student has been in the public eye since his already-famous father became president for the first time in 2016, when he was just 10.
Unlike the rest of his siblings, many of whom have followed their father into politics, Barron prefers to keep a low profile and reportedly does not attend his classes frequently because of his high-profile status.
So his mother’s alleged threat to ban members from the president’s exclusive, $1-million-a-year golf club if they photograph Barron might be reinforcing his own desire to stay out of the public eye.
