Barron Trump typically stays out of the spotlight, but a new excerpt from an upcoming book offers a rare glimpse into a deeply private moment between him and his father, Donald Trump.
The account focuses on a phone call made after the fatal attack on conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The then-19-year-old reportedly reached out to the president in a state of panic, fearing his father could become the target of another assassination attempt.
Barron Trump Reportedly Called His Father in Distress
According to The Times, the incident is detailed in the book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by authors Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The report claims Barron was the first to alert his father to the killing of Charlie Kirk.
He is said to have expressed just how dangerous he believed public appearances before large crowds had become. During the conversation, an affectionate nickname Donald Trump reportedly used to comfort his son was also revealed.
“Calm down, honey, calm down,” Donald Trump is said to have told him.
