Barron Trump is keeping a low profile and avoiding public outings at age 20 after Iranian hardliners reportedly targeted him with a video titled “Where to kill Barron Trump” and a $10 million bounty. The threat has added to security concerns around Donald Trump’s youngest son, who has largely stayed out of public view while continuing his college life and spending time with his mother, first lady Melania Trump.
Barron recently completed his sophomore year at New York University and has reportedly spent much of the summer with Melania at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.
People familiar with the Trump family told the New York Post that the 20-year-old rarely goes out, reports The New York Post. “He doesn’t go out,” one longtime Trumpworld figure told the publication. Another source described Barron as “pretty reclusive.”
Why Barron is staying out of the spotlight
Barron's private lifestyle has become more noticeable as security concerns surrounding the Trump family have increased.
Donald Trump has faced multiple serious security incidents since July 2024, including the assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a separate incident involving a suspected gunman near his Florida golf course.
Barron has also been directly targeted in threats. According to the New York Post, Iranian hardliners recently released a video titled “Where to kill Barron Trump” and claimed it showed information about the first son's movements. The report also said the video included a $10 million bounty on Barron.
