Unearthed footage of Barron Trump speaking with mom’s accent spread like wildfire after dad’s massive win
After his father’s historic electoral win earlier this month, videos of future first son Barron Trump speaking in a Slovenian accent as a young boy have been circulating rapidly on social media. The footage, which dates back to 2010, shows a 4-year-old Barron in his father’s office with both of his parents, expressing his excitement about going to school while holding a brown suitcase.
In the video, Barron can be heard saying, “I like my suitcase,” with a clear Slovene accent. He then questions his mother about going to school, asking, “I have to go to school now?” Melania Trump, Barron’s mother, gently explains to him that he will have lunch first before heading off to school. Barron continues to inquire, speaking with the same accent as his mother.
The clips of Barron speaking in a Slovenian accent have caught the attention of social media users, particularly on platforms like TikTok, where users have created their own videos imitating Barron with the tag “sootcase,” referencing how he pronounced “suitcase.” Many have found Barron’s accent adorable and cute, praising Melania Trump for her close relationship with her son.
Melania Trump, who hails from Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia (now Slovenia), revealed in a 2010 interview with Larry King that Barron developed his accent from spending most of his time with her. The videos of Barron’s accent have gone viral following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election.
Social media users have expressed surprise and delight at discovering Barron’s accent as a young boy, with many remarking on his cuteness and Melania’s nurturing parenting style. Dozens of TikTok videos featuring Barron’s accent have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, with some users even creating song remixes of his adorable speech patterns.
Now 18 years old, Barron Trump attends New York University and maintains a low profile compared to his older siblings, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. Despite his towering 6-foot-9 frame, Barron prefers to stay out of the public eye. He made a rare appearance on stage during his father’s victory speech, where Donald Trump emphasized his commitment to fighting for every American citizen’s future.
As Barron continues to navigate life in the spotlight, his endearing accent as a young boy remains a cherished memory for many. The videos serve as a reminder of his early years and the close bond he shares with his family, particularly his mother Melania.
