Melania Trump has been accused by family insiders of deliberately limiting contact between her son, Barron Trump, and his older half-siblings, with sources claiming the First Lady carefully controls his social circle and even the guest list for his birthday celebrations.
The claims build on long-running speculation about Barron's unusual place within the Trump clan. The youngest of Donald Trump's five children, Barron, grew up largely in New York and then Washington with Melania, while his half-siblings, Donald Jr, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany, carved out adult lives and public profiles around their father's business and political career.
