Barron Trump made a rare public appearance during his father’s inauguration ceremony. The teenager, who is known to stay out of the public eye, was severely trolled by netizens for his “thinning hair.” A medical expert recently opened up about how the 18-year-old could be suffering from the same genetic condition as his father, Donald Trump.
Barron stole the spotlight several times during Trump’s inauguration ceremony. The 18-year-old’s interaction with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden caught people’s eye. Barron was seen making his way to greet both Democrats.
Lip reader Jeremy Freeman later shared that Barron said “G’day to you sir,” to Biden as he shook his hand. “Ma’am, good day,” he said to Kamala as he greeted her. The teenager was repeatedly praised for being “classy” for his behavior. Many netizens also noted that he was “raised well by his parents”.
Barron’s first public appearance in a while wasn’t all pleasant. The 18-year-old was subjected to body-shaming comments from online trolls. They claimed that the teenager had already started “balding.”
“I’m watching @realDonaldTrump’s 2025 inauguration. And it looks like Barron Trump’s hairline is already receding. It’s getting thin up there. Apple and tree?” one netizen wrote on X.
Dr. Gizem Seymenoglu, a hair loss specialist, suggested that Barron may have inherited a genetic condition. “I believe Barron is indeed suffering from hair loss much like his own father,” the expert told Longevita Hair Transplant.
Seymenoglu attributed the teenager’s hair thinning to androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss. “Which is primarily a genetic condition that can be inherited from either parent,” she added.

The expert also noted that the father and son duo seem to be suffering a female pattern hair loss and not a male pattern. In the former, hair loss occurs all over the scalp. “Their hairlines haven’t exactly receded, which is typical of this type of hair loss,” Gizem added.
She noted that male pattern hair loss typically begins with a receding hairline. The expert noted that stress is a factor that plays a major part in the condition. “Stress could be further contributing to Barron’s hair loss, given that he is still a teenager, albeit a very high profile one who has just been thrust into the spotlight as the son of the President,” the specialist concluded.

Barron certainly isn’t just an ordinary teenager anymore, given the fact that his father is now the President of the United States. It seems like his mother Melania and the 18-year-old himself are aware of the fact. Melania recently opened up about how Barron is doing at his university.
“He loves his classes and his professors,” she shared. The First Lady also acknowledged how “strong” her son is and realized the position he is in. “He knows that he’s in a different position than other children,” she added. Another source told People that Barron is well-liked by his peers and professors alike. “He’s really popular with the ladies,” the insider added.
