Not only good at sports and politics, President Donald Trump’s youngest son also has a special talent for technology.
US President Donald Trump has 3 wives and 5 children (3 boys, 2 girls). Although they grew up in wealth, his 5 children are always oriented to live quietly, not entangled in scandals in their private lives, all pursuing their own academic and career paths.
Currently, Trump’s 4 eldest children are all married, especially the youngest Barron Trump (born 2006) is a freshman at New York University. Perhaps that’s why this young man received more love than from his powerful father.

In a Fox News program broadcast in March, US President Donald Trump revealed many perspectives on Barron Trump to reporter Laura Ingraham, when the youngest son celebrated his 19th birthday.
“March 20 is Barron’s birthday. The whole country has witnessed his growth firsthand,” Ingraham began the topic. “Do you often confide in him? Do you and I talk every day?”
“I talk to you all the time, to all of you,” Trump replied.
“How do you see his future? Does he have any talent in a particular field? For example, business, politics?” asked Ingraham.
“I think it’s business. As you can see, all my children are very smart, study well at high-quality schools, and always study hard. Barron is extremely smart, Eric, Don, Ivanka, Tiffany, are also very smart. I am extremely lucky. Having good and good children also needs a lucky factor,” Mr. Trump expressed.
“My kids are really smart. They are all good children, always striving, loving the country, proud of their father. My father and son are very close,” he continued.
“But what do you think Barron is talented in? Business or politics?” asked Ingraham.
“Maybe it’s technology,” Trump said, sharing that he once tried to turn off the laptop, but just five minutes later, Barron was able to turn it back on.
“I asked, ‘How did you do that?’ He replied, ‘I don’t understand even if I say it,’” Mr. Trump said, imitating Barron’s tone. “You’re amazingly gifted with computers.”
Mr. Trump once praised Barron for making a class contribution to the campaign when he suggested that his father participate in podcast programs that attract young people.
Or in the May 6 meeting, the US President mentioned his second son Eric Trump and Barron always corrected his father whenever he called football “soccer”, advising him to call it “football” like the rest of the world.
In the United States, “football” is used to refer to rugby. To avoid confusion, Americans call football “soccer”. “I don’t know what word to use, Barron and Eric always correct me every time I call football ‘soccer,’ but Americans are more used to using soccer,” Trump said.
It is known that Barron (SN 2006) is the only common child of Mr. Donald and his wife Melania Trump. Barron didn’t appear much during his father’s campaign, but he was tasked with directing content aimed at young voters.

For American teenagers, Barron is the one who helps the image of Donald Trump get closer to the younger generation. Barron is considered the most attractive figure in the Trump family for American teenagers today.

Not only Barron, it seems that all members of the Trump family receive admiration from the public. Richard Huckestein, director of construction firm T&G Constructors, which has worked with Donald Trump’s children for three years on several real estate projects, said in an interview: “When I first worked with Trump’s children, I used to think they were warm boys who only knew how to have fun. But when I started working, I understood that I was wrong.”
According to Huckestein, Trump’s children are willing to take on jobs at any time, actively contacting partners and employees to discuss. They pay attention to every small detail in the project to make the product the most complete.
But how can a billionaire businessman, a politician with a busy work schedule like Donald Trump, raise children who are both cognitive and successful at work? Here are some lessons on how to educate the children of the President of the United States.
Appreciate the support from parents-in-law
Due to his busy work, Mr. Trump needs the involvement of relatives in taking care of his children, even his wife’s parents. The US president often publicly thanked his wife’s family for their contribution to the growth of their children.
For example, when the youngest son Barron Trump entered adolescence and possessed outstanding height, he was not afraid to thank his mother-in-law. “My parents-in-law are amazing. From an early age, Barron always ate food cooked by his grandmother and was cared for wholeheartedly. That’s why my son can be as tall as he is now,” Mr. Trump once shared in an interview.

Teaching children to be filial and respectful of adults
Joshua Kendall, author of First Dads: Parenting and Politics from George Washington to Barack Obama, analyzes how American presidents father. According to the author, Mr. Trump does not have much time but always covers the entire process of his children’s growth and the attention needed to create a positive influence.

Ivanka Trump, Trump’s second daughter, said she used to call her father’s office every day. Busy with work, he rarely refused her calls. He often turns on the speakerphone to talk to his children in front of his colleagues and partners.
“My father always spends sweet words to introduce me to the guests who are present at the office. He openly praised me and asked me about my academic performance at school,” Ivanka said.
Trump’s second daughter and many of her other siblings understand that she is always looking for a work-life balance. But above all, he always gives the highest priority to his children.
In the family, the US president always encourages happy competition between children. When he grows up, Mr. Trump values the hierarchy in the family.

“As we entered adulthood, what I cared about most was the respect that my children had for the adults in the family,” Ivanka told Politico. She said that she must not be loud, angry with her parents or have an unpleasant attitude towards adults. All expressions that are disrespectful and have no standards with adults are taboo in the family.
Spark a love for work
For his children, Mr. Trump is not only a father but also a mentor at work, a wise leader in the corporation.
Donald Jr., Trump’s eldest son, once told New York magazine that his father was a hardworking man. Work is a major concern in his life.
Eric Trump, Trump’s third child, also revealed in an interview with the New York Times that he always accompanies his children in his own way. Since childhood, Eric and his siblings have been accustomed to sitting and playing or studying all day in Trump’s office. They witnessed him passionately meeting and negotiating with associates and partners, so they were conscious of participating in the family’s joint business.
When the children graduate from college, Trump is not in a hurry to urge them to participate in the family business. He was even hesitant when his children expressed their desire to take on the common job.

“My father believed that a person can only work at his best if he really loves his job. He hopes we take on the family chores if it’s a passion and inspiration from the heart,” Ivanka said. She also affirmed that it was her father’s love for work and initiative that made her children soon become people with a sense of hard work.
Respect all opinions of children
Ivanka thinks that her father has a good relationship with his 5 children because he always respects his own opinions and views. They can express their thoughts frankly to him, even if it is a conflicting viewpoint. But instead of refuting, he always listens and aims for active debate.
Besides, members of the Trump family are all oriented by their father to have healthy hobbies to avoid falling. As with Donald Trump Jr., he prefers to hunt instead of indulging in all-night parties and causing trouble for himself.
“I always go to bed early so I can get up early and go hunting for wild chickens. That hobby helped me have my youth years on the right track, not making mistakes,” Trump Jr. said. He also said that when he was a teenager, he used to take on a number of jobs in his family’s corporation to earn pocket money.
While her sister Ivanka earns pocket money by modeling photos for fashion magazines and famous stylists. By the time she graduated, she went to work as an ordinary employee in her family’s company to gain experience. Ivanka’s two brothers also interned for a long time at the company, instead of being appointed to a high position from the beginning.

The “3 No’s” lesson for children
Talking about the principle of teaching children on CBN News in 2011, Donald Trump said that he thoroughly mastered the principle of 3 no’s: Do not drink, do not smoke, do not use drugs.
Mr. Trump explained that his brother died of alcoholism, some friends became “ghosts”, ruined their prospects and careers, so he stayed away from this type of drink and always reminded his children of it. He himself has always set an example for them. “I’ve never drunk,” Trump once asserted on Fox News.

“I have wonderful children and hope they will always be like that. Ever since they were old enough to listen, I’ve always told them that they don’t drink anything, don’t smoke and sometimes don’t even drink coffee, and now they don’t have tattoos. Every time Ivanka’s daughter heard me repeat, she said, ‘You don’t need to mention it anymore,’” Trump said.
Upholding the responsibility of the grandfather in the family

President Donald Trump is the grandfather of 10 grandchildren. Whenever the grandchildren are on summer vacation, he will arrange time to meet them on weekends. The family’s favorite activity is going to the golf course to exercise and chat.
“They loved him very much because of the humor in the way he talked,” Ivanka said.
Kai, 17, Trump’s oldest grandson, revealed that he is like many other grandfathers. He was the one who allowed him to eat candy and drink soda when his parents were away. He also always cares about the children’s learning and thoughts.
“When he received a certificate of merit at school for his excellent academic performance, he immediately showed off that achievement to his friends and said that he was very proud of him. He also faced many difficulties in his career, but he was always firm and persistent in pursuing his goals. He is an inspiration for the whole family. I love you very much,” Kai said.
