Donald Trump Gives Rare Insight Into Barron's Emotional Side In Interview About Charlie Kirk

Despite his extremely famous family, we almost never see Barron Trump in public, and we rarely hear much about his personal thoughts and opinions. As such, Donald Trump's notoriously private youngest son often piques the interest of the public. So, Barron's fans will surely be interested to hear a rare bit of info about him courtesy of his controversial father. And this tidbit about Barron paints the picture of a surprisingly sentimental man.

The world has been shocked since media personality Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University on September 10. And, apparently, Barron didn't take the news particularly well. During a September 12 "Fox & Friends" appearance, Donald made a rare statement about Barron, saying, "He was very hurt when he saw this," while adding, "... everybody was," per X, formerly known as Twitter. It seems, though, that Barron's attachment to Kirk was special. Donald called Barron a "tremendous fan" of the conservative activist. In fact, according to Donald, his own connection to Kirk was one that left Barron starstruck. Donald explained, "So, Barron's a very good student. And, Barron came to me, and he said, 'Dad, I'd like to meet somebody that you know, Charlie Kirk.'" Donald said that Barron and Kirk subsequently went out to lunch together, "... and he came back said, 'That guy's great, Dad. That guy's great.' It was cute."

Donald Trump's takes on Barron Trump's life have proven that he's out of touch with his son before, but based on this anecdote, this was seemingly one thing he and Barron were able to connect over. And, it wasn't the only interesting insight about Barron that he shared during this interview. Donald explained how surprised he was by Barron's admiration for Charlie Kirk, noting that "... normally he's not full of praise for a lot of people." That certainly implies that Barron isn't just reserved and quiet about his feelings in the public eye; he may behave that way around his dad, too.

During his interview, Donald was asked how he was helping Barron with the sudden loss of a public figure he admired. Donald neglected to answer this, instead veering into talk about the White House ballroom that he is having built. He explained that he was meeting with architects about the project when he was alerted about Kirk's death, asserting, "it's gonna be incredible." So, it remains unclear how Barron has been dealing with this news ever since. 

Interestingly, though, just days ago Barron's biggest fan who caught the attention of Trump insiders with her fan Instagram page for the 19-year-old first son revealed her identity. Now, she has been keeping the @barrotrump Instagram page updated with tributes to Kirk, indicating that Barron's support for Kirk has managed to break through his infamously mysterious persona.
