Trump's Thanksgiving Sing-A-Long Leaves Barron Wishing He Would Have Stayed At NYU

Barron Trump hasn't been terribly removed from his family since he left home for New York University, considering his mother's plans of following him to New York and the influential campaign role he had as daddy's little advisor during his father's 2024 presidential run. However, he still made his homecoming to President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort for Thanksgiving 2024. Barron might have regretted leaving college for his break, though, after one certain event took place during the holiday.

A video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on November 28, 2024 shows Trump, along with Elon Musk and incoming first lady, Melania Trump, singing along with and giddily bopping to the song "YMCA" by the Village People while sitting at their dinner table at the Mar-a-Lago resort. Meanwhile, Barron was forced to sit awkwardly between his parents and endure the president-elect and company's theatrics. Though he was apparently put off by the scene, Barron showed some decorum and politely gave a peek of his smile, as any son of a soon-to-be president should.

The scene at Mar-a-Lago during Thanksgiving night is not the only time Barron Trump has been caught on camera looking awkward or uncomfortable in his parents' company. In July 2024, a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed Barron silently sitting with President-elect Donald Trump in a golf cart with a blank expression as the latter discussed President Joe Biden's departure from the 2024 presidential race. Another video shared on X showed a different time he was subjected to some of his father's cringeworthy boogieing, this time to Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl," while arriving for Easter dinner in April 2024. As was the case during Thanksgiving, Barron, once again, looked a little embarrassed, and shyly smiled as his father hammed it up and greeted fellow attendees.

Barron's seemingly awkward, uneasy attitude in these scenarios may also be a residual of his signature serious, unsmiling look he's sported since he was a child. Though more recent snaps of the now-adult Barron have shown off his rarely-seen smile, his blank, reserved demeanor is not an uncommon sight in the slightest. Thus, though embarrassment may have influenced his facial expressions in videos like the "YMCA" clip, his appearance could also just be another of the countless examples of the look many have come to know him by since he entered the limelight as a kid.
