Former President Donald Trump faced ridicule after mistakenly stating his son Barron’s age during an interview, sparking a flurry of reactions on social media.
While discussing Barron’s potential future in politics, Trump, 77, misstated his son’s age as 17 during an interview with Miami’s Telemundo 51. However, Barron actually turned 18 earlier this year.

Barron, the youngest child of Trump and Melania, has largely been kept out of the public eye, with the couple prioritizing his education and privacy. Melania has reportedly raised Barron to be bilingual and is protective of him.
Trump’s error didn’t go unnoticed, with social media users quick to point out the mistake and criticize him for not knowing his own son’s age. Some compared the incident to past critiques of President Joe Biden’s age and mental acuity.
Despite the scrutiny, Trump remains embroiled in legal battles, including a high-profile hush money trial related to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
