Melania Trump smiles as she leads towering son Barron who just turned 18 to Easter brunch
Former First Lady Melania Trump smiled blissfully as she lead her 6-foot-7 son Barron, who just celebrated his 18th birthday, to an Easter brunch with her husband Donald Trump.
Wearing a sleeveless white Alaïa dress that flowed past her knees and light pink stilettos, Melania, 53, smiled as she walked between Barron and her father, Viktor Knavs.
A crowd could be heard cheering in a video as Barron and Knavs flashed thumbs up. Melania stopped slightly to acknowledge fans, before they continued to their brunch at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Sunday.
Melania and Barron made a rare appearance with the ex-president, who has been on the campaign trail without the company of his wife and son.
Another clip shared on Instagram stories showed Melania sitting at a table with Barron and Knavs. Melania largely stayed out of the public eye leading up to and after her mother, Amalija Knavs’ death in early January.
Barron, who turned 18 years old on March 20, donned a dark suit with a yellow tie matching the color of an Easter edition of the Make America Great Again hat his father wore.
The family’s jovial mood was a stark contrast to former President Trump’s Easter post on Truth Social a short time prior.
Keeping with many of his other posts on holidays like Christmas, the message addressed his political enemies including prosecutors who have brought legal cases against him.
‘HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON,’ he wrote.
‘INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA, A NOW FAILING NATION, LIKE “DERANGED” JACK SMITH, WHO IS EVIL AND “SICK,” MRS. FANI “FAUNI” WADE…’
Melania was last seen smiling and embracing her husband at a February gala hosted by the Trumpettes at Mar-a-Lago. She and Barron last appeared publicly with the former president at her mother’s funeral in mid-January.
Ex-President Trump in January remarked on the campaign trail that Amalija took care of Barron and ‘that’s how he got so tall – he only ate her food’.
