Melania and Barron Trump, noticeably more engaged than during their first stint in Washington, used the inauguration to reintroduce themselves. Melania Trump has signaled a more unapologetic approach to ethical concerns, while Barron Trump is being treated as an advisor and a mascot for his father's supporters. Melania Trump has also stated that she will be a more regular presence in Washington.
During her husband’s first presidential inauguration in January 2017, Melania Trump was a newcomer to Washington, a first lady who draped herself in baby-blue cashmere to evoke memories of Jacqueline Kennedy and whose tight smile, at moments, seemed to dissolve into a scowl.Barron and Melania Trump on Inauguration Day in 2025 and back in 2017.

Barron Trump and first lady Melania Trump listen as President Donald Trump gives his inaugural address.Eight years ago, Barron Trump was an 11-year-old who was seen smiling with his sister, Tiffany, as his father was sworn in at the Capitol. On Tuesday AEDT, Barron Trump remained largely by his mother’s side, but the change in him was obvious.
“I have a very tall son named Barron,” Trump told the crowd. “Has anyone ever heard of him?” His son stood up, gave the crowd a thumbs up, and held his hand to his ear as the applause grew louder. “He knew the youth vote.”For her part, Melania Trump dispensed with some of the niceties she stuck to as incoming first lady in 2017. She did not arrive at the White House clutching a gift for her predecessor, Jill Biden, as she had done for Michelle Obama, who skipped this year’s inauguration.
