Barron Trump is thought to be different to his outspoken father.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Since his father Donald Trump entered the Oval Office for his second term, Barron Trump has been pushed into the spotlight more than ever.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Barron Trump isn\u2019t hard to miss, as he towers above his father at six foot seven, but he\u2019s kept a largely quiet life and isn\u2019t one for public speaking like Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

In fact, the 19-year-old is thought to be hugely different from his dad, not just due to his different choice of where to study.<\/p>\n

Barron is currently a freshman at New York University (NYU), which was a different move to his siblings and his old man, who all chose to attend the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown instead.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Yet it isn\u2019t just where he\u2019s studying that makes him different to his father; he\u2019s also thought to have a softer personality to Donald\u2019s buoyant persona.<\/p>\n

A source speaking to PEOPLE described the 19-year-old as \u2018an old soul who is smart, well-spoken and well-read\u2019.<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cHe has lived through experiences others his age haven\u2019t. He is well-grounded, he has seen a lot and he knows who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Another source told the outlet: \u201cHe isn\u2019t as aggressive as many of his age when they are in their own social circles. He is someone who listens before talking, and is super polite.\u201d<\/p>\n

While his father is a huge political figure, and even prior to becoming US president for a second time, he was rarely out of the spotlight, for Barron it\u2019s a different story.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been the center of increased attention since his father\u2019s campaign. In a rally last July, Donald told the crowd who cheered for Barron: \u201cYou\u2019re pretty popular, he might be more popular than Don and Eric.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cSo Barron, it\u2019s good to have you. [He\u2019s] had such a nice, easy life. Now, it\u2019s a little bit changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In spite of his father\u2019s huge position within US politics, Barron does try to take a backseat and was notably absent during his dad\u2019s first speech to Congress earlier this year. He\u2019s also not likely to appear at any future events his father makes, and with good reason.<\/p>\n

Barron, who lives in New York in Trump Tower, is currently a freshman at NYU and will be busy attending classes, so he\u2019ll be unable to make as many public appearances.<\/p>\n

Barron is currently studying and attending classes at New York University\u2019s Stern School of Business since September, having graduated from Florida\u2019s Oxbridge Academy in May.<\/p>\n

Yet, his college experience isn\u2019t likely to be the same as others in their first year of studies.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Barron\u2019s mother Melania revealed that her son isn\u2019t like others, as she said last year: \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible for him to be a normal student. His experience at college \u2014 it\u2019s very different than any other kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Melania has generally kept Barron away from the spotlight as much as possible, as she explained to Fox News: \u201cI feel that children, when they reach 18 or 19 years old, we teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly. I always respect Barron\u2019s yes and no \u2013 what he likes to do and where he wants to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to call her son an \u2018incredible young man\u2019, adding: \u201cI\u2019m very proud of what he grew up to. His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness. It\u2019s admirable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
