Melania Trump is a tiger mom, and she is not apologizing.
Ever since Donald Trump came into office in his first term, Melania Trump has been very protective of Barron and kept him away from the public eye. She kept him away from the political atmosphere.
Even now that Barron Trump is studying at NYU, he keeps a low profile and is hardly ever in the news. It was only when Donald Trump had won the election that the media could put a finger on Barron. When asked about his schooling at NYU, Donald Trump told the media personnel that Stern was a school of choice for Barron, and he chose the school himself. Melania Trump added that Barron was living at the Trump Towers in their New York home because he wished to stay at home. Before shifting to The White House, Melania Trump was living with her son in New York.

However, it was later found that the decision to live at home was Melania’s and she refused to let Barron live in on-campus housing.
Barron Trump has a lot of security that makes him very visible on campus. He is a well-known young adult, and Melania Trump does not want random people to have access to him or take advantage of him. Citing his security issues, Mrs. Trump made a command decision for Barron.
Sources close to young Trump say that he hardly has any friends. All his communication with his peer group is through video games. Though Melania encourages him to make new friends, she wants him to be careful, considering his father and MAGA politics.
It has been pointed out that even during his senior year in high school, Melania kept a tight leash on his circle of acquaintances.
Experts suggest that this type of restriction could cause Barron to be a quiet child who would find it difficult to navigate the world. However, considering his father’s stature and what is online, one might not consider Melania’s apprehensions extreme.
