Barron Trump took center stage during his father Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Monday, January 20.

The 18-year-old, currently studying at New York University’s Stern School of Business, stood proudly with his mother as his father was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

Clad in a sharp navy suit, a matching tie, and polished black shoes, Barron, towering at 6 feet 9 inches, maintained a calm and composed expression throughout the ceremony.
