Most parents have weird or sweet or random little nicknames for them, right? It’s the kind of thing we’d be embarrassed if the whole world suddenly knew.
And that’s what has just happened to Barron Trump thanks to an early excerpt from a new book about his dad, the US president.
Yep, it turns out that Donald Trump shares some similarity to regular people in having a bit of a ‘nickname’ for his youngest son.
Written by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, the upcoming release Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, looks at key moments of his first year of his second term.
As the correspondents say the book gives a ‘first draft of the remarkable history we are all living through’, we learn a little more about the president’s relationship with his son.
The 20-year-old tends to somewhat stay out of the spotlight for the most part and we don’t tend to know much about him.
But a sneak peek of the new book in The New York Times lays out the time Barron called his dad, panicking, following the fatal shooting of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
The youngest son was 19 at the time and apparently was the first person to tell Trump about Kirk’s assassination.
It’s reported that Barron was concerned his dad could be targeted again and that he was taking a risk by carrying on with speaking in front of large crowds.
