On June 14, as the United States commemorates the birthday of its 45th President, Donald Trump, an anecdote has surfaced about his youngest son Barron's imitation of his father’s television catchphrase.
Known for being the most private among his children, Barron made headlines when he cheekily suggested a staff member at the White House should be dismissed, echoing his father's well-known line from The Apprentice.
At 16 years old, Barron has taken a significant step in his education by enrolling at the exclusive Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, a move overseen by his father. Despite his reserved nature, Barron's behavior during his time in the White House showed that he had his moments of mischief, leaving a lasting impression on staff.
Like Father, Like Son
Anthony Senecald, the family's former butler, has a vivid memory of Barron Trump demonstrating a distinct personality from a very young age. Speaking recently, he recalled a particular morning when, at the age of five, Barron humorously used his father's iconic catchphrase from The Apprentice and told the butler he was fired as he came to serve breakfast.
During that period, Donald Trump was widely recognized for his role on the reality TV show where he played a magnate teaching business acumen to aspiring entrepreneurs, often using the phrase "You're fired" as a part of the show's elimination process.
A Name with a Story
Donald Trump, known for his dynamic business strategies and unique thought processes, chose an unusual name for his youngest son. The name Barron was inspired by a pseudonym, John Barron, which Trump had used in the 1990s during conversations with the media about his personal achievements.
Through this alias, he would sometimes share details about his romantic life with well-known personalities, with Madonna being mentioned among others. Despite the public being aware of the true identity behind the alias, Trump still decided to name his fifth child, born on March 20, 2006, to his third wife, Melania, after this moniker.
