KEY POINTS

  • Barron Trump did not attend the Christmas Eve celebration with his parents this week 
  • Melania Trump and Donald Trump were criticized for not including their son at the Christmas dinner
  • Fans are wondering where Barron Trump was on Christmas Eve 

Barron Trump made headlines on Christmas Eve after eagle-eyed netizens noticed that he skipped the festivities with his parents, Melania Trump and Donald Trump.

According to Express, the 13-year-old traveled to Palm Beach resort in Florida with the FLOTUS and the POTUS on Dec. 20, but he has not been photographed in public since then.

On Twitter, some netizens directly asked the president and the first lady where their only child was. Others also criticized them for not including Barron in the festivities.

“So, where’s the kid? Where’s Baron? Does he not spend time with any of his children, when they are teenagers? It’s Christmas, and you would think they would’ve shown off the kid,” one Twitter user said.

“Ok, where’s Barron? Poor child at the White House on Christmas Eve with some aide watching him?” Twitter user @nomiddleton2 wondered.

Meanwhile, Barron isn’t the only member of the Trump family who was seemingly snubbed on Christmas Eve. Even FLOTUS appeared to be sidelined when she attended the Christmas Eve dinner in Mar-a-Lago.

New footage shows the FLOTUS looking around the room while her husband is engaged in conversation. She is also sitting at the far end of the table beside the POTUS.

One Twitter user claimed that President Trump looked as though he was chastising his wife. While another person continued to ask where Barron was.

It is unclear why the 13-year-old wasn’t included in the Christmas Eve festivities. But it is possible that it’s because the dinner is considered a formal event. Regardless of Barron’s height, he is still considered a kid.

In related news, Melania’s previous interview with People magazine was unearthed this week. At that time, the FLOTUS revealed that Ellen DeGeneres gifted her with a gold stroller with its own chandelier after she gave birth to Barron.

The first lady thought that the gift was hilarious but some people branded it gross and grotesque.
