PR Experts Believe Barron Trump Will Follow in the Footsteps of One of His Parents, and Not the One You’d Expect

Barron Trump will soon turn 18, but his mom, Melania Trump has done a good job of keeping him out of the public eye, and as people will do, folks are speculating whether he’ll follow his mom’s path, or his father, Donald Trump’s path. Much of that speculation includes whether he’ll go to the same school as his dad and whether he’ll go into the business world as his half-siblings have. I’m going to say I hope not. I’m hoping this young man will do something highly imaginative, something that lights his psyche but given who his parents are I don’t think that’s likely.

Many folks also believe he’ll stay out of the public eye, just as Melania does, but however things turn out for young Barron, there’s one PR expert who claims they know what path the young man will take, SheKnows reports.

In an interview, Eden Gillott, a crisis management expert from Gillott Communications, told The List what she thinks Barron’s nascent steps into the world of adulthood will be.

“Barron will most likely opt for Melania’s elegance of privacy rather than his father’s love of the spotlight. This selective visibility could define his persona, underscoring the sophistication of leading a life of quiet dignity amidst a world that often confuses noise with influence,” Gillott told the outlet. “Barron has a unique opportunity to capitalize on this increased visibility to subtly shape his own narrative. While his father’s potential presidency could heighten public interest, Barron could use this moment not for direct engagement, but as a chance to reinforce his personal brand of quiet distinction.”

Should Barron follow his mom’s path, it will help him learn how to engage with the public “on his own terms.”

“Barron’s choice of a quieter path could mark him as the bearer of a new legacy where he redefines what it looks like to carry the name,” she said. “His signature trait that he carries well into whatever path he chooses, marking him as a figure of thoughtful consideration. If, at a later point, he decides he wants to fully step into public life, it’ll be much easier to navigate than trying to close Pandora’s box.”

I remain hopeful that Barron will find something that helps people and/or the planet. I’m probably being naive here, but really I have to wonder what have Trump and his other kids done for poor people and for the planet. We know Eric and Donald Trump Jr. have pilfered from cancer charities, and we know Barron’s mom, who, while she’s done a good job with her young son, is also a grifter as is pretty much everyone else in the Trump family, although I don’t really know anything about Tiffany Trump.
