00:00There's a large generational gap between father and son, but one thing Barron and Donald Trump
00:05have in common is their preference for business attire. However, Barron has occasionally stepped
00:09out in casual looks that are hard to imagine his dad ever wearing.
00:13The beef between Barack Obama and Donald Trump is the stuff of political legend. So how did
00:18it escape Donald's notice that his son once dressed like his nemesis?
00:21Obama looked effortlessly cool in February 2019 at a college basketball game, sporting
00:26a rag-and-bone bomber jacket with a zippered pocket on one sleeve, which was embroidered
00:30with the number 44. Later that year, Barron Trump tried to pull off a nearly identical
00:35look.
00:36In photos of the Trumps taking over the Thanksgiving holiday, the then-13-year-old appeared to
00:39be wearing a similar bomber jacket — minus the presidential embroidery, of course.
00:43In response to side-by-side photos of Barron and Obama, one person tweeted,
00:48"'Uh-oh. Someone's gonna be grounded.'"
00:50Another post read,
00:51"'Every boy deserves a hero to admire. There is hope for him yet.'"
00:56Donald Trump famously dislikes sharks, and Barron may have had that in mind back in 2017.
01:01Sharks were swimming around in Trump's head rent-free during a June 2024 campaign rally,
01:05where he pondered a hypothetical situation — being in a sinking, battery-powered boat
01:10with a shark in the water nearby.
01:12"'Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get
01:18electrocuted?''
01:19According to Stormy Daniels, Trump had previously spoken to her about his dread of the denizens
01:24of the deep.
01:25She told InTouch,
01:26"'He is obsessed with sharks, terrified of sharks. He was like, I donate to all these
01:29charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the
01:33sharks die.'"
01:34So, it's noteworthy that for a 2017 family outing, Barron rocked a pair of khaki shorts
01:39and a red J.Crew tee that featured a shark illustration, and the words,
01:43"'On your mark, Tiger Shark.'"
01:44If Barron knew about his dad's shark phobia when he wore that shirt, he was doing some
01:48first-rate trolling.
01:50Barron turned 18 in March 2024, so it makes sense that a lot of his looks from his dad's
01:54first term in office are kid-friendly casual fits, like this one from 2017.
01:59Barron wore dark, slim-cut jeans, New Balance sneakers, and a light blue J.Crew t-shirt
02:03with the expert on the front.
02:05During the first presidential debate in 2016, Donald suggested that Barron might be an expert
02:10in at least one area — combating cyberattacks.
02:13He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable. The security
02:18aspect of cyber is very, very tough."
02:22Barron Trump might look like Donald Trump but taller when he wears a suit, but he's
02:25clearly learned the art of looking stylish in streetwear from his mother. In 2020, he
02:30jetted off to Palm Beach with his parents while rocking a black t-shirt, matching slacks,
02:34and an Alpha Industries flight jacket.
02:36Melania had worn a similar ensemble in 2017. For a trip to Houston, Texas, she paid homage
02:41to Tom Cruise's Top Gun character, Maverick, in an army green bomber jacket and aviators.
02:46She also wore a black top and pants, but she probably should've taken footwear notes from
02:50her son.
02:51Barron reportedly kept his feet comfy in a pair of charcoal New Balance sneakers, while
02:54Melania was roasted for boarding Marine One in a pair of stilettos. She was headed to
02:58the Lone Star State to tour areas affected by Hurricane Harvey, and her impractical shoes
03:02had the Twitterverse in a tizzy. She changed footwear during her flight, but could've spared
03:06herself the internet-outrage-induced headache by wearing sneakers like Barron's to begin
03:10with.
