Melania Trump says Donald wanted to have more kids

Donald and Melania Trump have been married for 20 years. They welcomed their son Barron in 2006, and while Donald took care of the real estate empire, his wife was responsible for their son’s upbringing. Barron lived a life of luxury at Trump Tower, his mother continues to put her 19-year-old son before everything else.

Donald Trump has five children, but there could have been more. Melania revealed that Donald wanted to have more children, though there was one main reason why that didn’t happen.

When Melania Trump met Donald, he already had four children. They tied the knot in 2005, and not long after welcomed their first child, Barron. Melania was a first-time mother, and her son sure lived an extraordinary life.

Melania has made it her life’s mission to protect her son from scrutiny and the media. While he has been kept out of the spotlight for most of his life, that was not the case the day he was born.

As reported by several newspapers, within 20 minutes of Barron’s birth, Trump called MSNBC’s long-running radio show “Imus in the Morning,” hosted by Don Imus, to tell the great news. At the same time, a statement on Melania’s website stated that Barron weighed 8 1/2 pounds and was 21 inches long.

“Everyone’s perfect,” Donald, then 59, told Imus. “I continue to stay young, right? I produce children; I stay young.”

Melania Trump decided not to hire a nanny when Barron was young

The same day, Trump called Live with Regis and Kelly. Two days earlier, Regis and his wife, Joy, had visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Philbin didn’t know at the time, but Trump soon after reunited with Melania in New York to be there for the birth of Barron.

“When I left you, I had no news of this at all,” Trump told Philbin, adding that Barron was over a week early.

It is no shock that Donald’s net worth is truly staggering, and as a result, Barron grew up in a world of luxury. Speaking with Parenting, Melania revealed that Barron loved planes and helicopters as a child. She always made sure to cook his breakfast and lunch. Even though they had a luxurious lifestyle, they didn’t have a traditional nanny.

“Barron is 9 years old. He needs somebody as a parent there, so I am with him all the time,” Melania said in a 2015 People interview. “As you know my husband is traveling all the time.”

“We keep it down to a minimum,” the now-First Lady added. “If you have too much help, you don’t get to know your children.”

Melania revealed that Barron was into creating things as a young boy, and his mother supported that. The youngster even got to draw on the walls.

“In his space, the décor style of the rest of our home is mixed with what he is into: planes and helicopters,” Melania told Parenting, as quoted by Metro.

“He draws on the walls in his playroom”

“We let him be creative; let his imagination fly and do whatever he wants. Whatever he wants to do with his own room later on, he can do it. Whatever he wants to do with his own room he can do it. He draws on the walls, we can paint it over.”

“When he was smaller, he started drawing on the walls,” she added. “His imagination is growing and important. He draws on the walls in his playroom, we can paint it over. One day he was playing bakery and he wrote ‘Barron’s Bakery’ on the wall with crayons. He is very creative, if you say to a child ‘no, no, no,’ where does the creativity go?”

Growing up, Melania was the one closest to Barron. Donald focused his attention on his real estate empire, telling Larry King in 2005 that he was a relatively hands-off parent. Donald stated that he wasn’t “going to be doing the diapers” or “making the food,” adding that he “may never even see the kids.”

Although Donald wasn’t too involved in Barron’s childhood, Melania ensured he had quality time with his father. The two often went out for dinner together. As he grew older, Barron joined his father on the golf course.

“It’s very important to know the person you’re with. And we know our roles,” Melania explained.

Barron’s mother has helped him with his homework ever since childhood. He loved science and math, and Melania took him to different activities after school, encouraging him to reach for the stars.

“He wants to be a golfer, a businessman, a pilot. It’s that age when you introduce him to stuff,” she said.

Melania wants to be around Barron “as much as possible”

Barron graduated from high school last May after attending the private school Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. In September, he enrolled at Stern Business School at New York University.

While the now 19-year-old is standing on his own feet, sources have told People Magazine that Melania “will do everything she can” to support Barron’s well-being and ensure his good grades. Meanwhile, he will not get the “full college experience” by living in a dorm.

“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” a source told People. “Barron already has his own political ideas. It all needs to be monitored in light of the situation.”

Another source told the news outlet that living at home is Barron’s best option now.
