President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, reportedly "clash" on a parenting decision.
The President of the United States and his wife, Melania Trump, have been married since 2005. They met at the turn of the century, after Melania Trump arrived in New York City as a model. They dated for a couple of years before getting engaged and ultimately marrying.
President Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, have one child together - Barron Trump. The 19-year-old son of the President of the United States is a college freshman at NYU in New York City.
While President Trump and Melania Trump are married, they apparently "clash" over parenting styles.
President Trump is reportedly more open to putting Barron Trump in the spotlight, while Melania Trump is reportedly more protective of her son.
This isn't too surprising.
President Trump very much loves the spotlight and have several children. Melania Trump, meanwhile, has mostly stayed out of the public eye since her husband took office. Barron Trump is also her only son and studies have shown that only children are often more protected by their parents.
"Trump's body language signals with his son Barron suggest he is a bit of a 'Lion King' papa, proudly presenting the boy to the world while hinting he is a chip off the old block," an expert stated.
The expert added: "While Melania's envelopment and support gestures suggest a more protective and nurturing approach, with her arm wrapped around her son as he leans forward in the oldest photo, and then both hands used for gentle support and restraint as he starts to toddle in some of the later ones."
President Trump appears to be a very proud father.
"As Barron gets older Trump tends to stand him directly in front of himself, clutching both his shoulders in a gesture of pride and endorsement. The clasp allows the young Barron to adopt a similar, upright with slightly splayed legs pose as his dad."
The expert finished: "Finally, once Barron grows taller and those 'stabilizer' hands come off, Trump appears to display confidence in his son by allowing him his body language independence."
Neither are wrong, necessarily.
