When Barron Trump was a baby, he often appeared alongside his parents on many public outings, even appearing with his parents in 2007 when his dad was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As the years have gone on, however, Barron has drifted out of the public eye. When Donald Trump was elected president, Barron's safety, security, and privacy seemed to be of utmost importance. For example, Barron didn't move into the White House straight away. In an effort to keep him on track with school, he finished up the year at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School before moving to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with his parents, according to Reuters. From there, Donald and Melania Trump enrolled Barron in St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland.

When Barron became a target on "Saturday Night Live," the White House was quick to respond. "It is a longstanding tradition that the children of Presidents are afforded the opportunity to grow up outside of the political spotlight. The White House fully expects this tradition to continue. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter," the White House press office said in a statement following the inauguration (via Deadline). Barron's privacy was so important that Donald and Melania decided to leave him out of the White House Christmas cards. In 2017, Romper reported that people were confused as the presidential holiday card featured the POTUS and the FLOTUS, but not their son.
