But how often do they get quality time?

And how does Donald see his son who’s over a decade younger than his next-youngest child?

We did some digging to find the real skinny on how Donald Trump relates to his son Barron.

But he wasn’t packing up his digs at Trump Tower immediately after dad Donald Trump took office.

It may have also been a move to save taxpayer money.

The statement continued, “The White House fully expects this tradition to continue.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.”

Part of the reason he got a whole level to himself?

Perhaps his penchant for drawing on the walls.

Barron’s life at the White House hasn’t been too much of a downgrade, though.

All of which is attended by a White House staff of over 100.

Clearly, Donald Trump provides for his son.

He noted, “I would have a hard time with it.”

That’s not to say he doesn’t want Barron playing any sports.

In a 2015 interview withPeople,he described his youngest son as “a very natural athlete.”

“He loves to build something and tear it down and build something else.”

“It is not important to me.

… We know our roles,” she said.

It’s just not for me."

He is now regularly seen walking beside his parents, with no physical contact at all.

He may have a long way to go to catch up with his perpetually-golfing papa, though.

“That’s how the first lady got involved,” Donald Trump said, according toThe Cut.

Maybe Barron got caught with an illicit Juul in his school bag by the Secret Service.

Or maybe there’s some weird Maury Povich stuff going on that America hasn’t been clued in on.

Or maybe Donald Trump was just speaking off the cuff, as he does from time to time.

Whatever it is, when your dad calls you your mother’s son, it’s usually not good.

And any parent who was in the same predicament was probably able to relate.

“And Barron is beautiful,” Donald concluded, “and he’s free, free.”

So nice to see people can put politics aside for the sake of their children.
