Donald Trump's New Comments About Barron Prove He's A Typical Teenager

While Donald Trump spoke about typical teenager topics with regard to his son, Barron Trump, he also touched on something a bit more serious. Amalija Knavs, Melania Trump's mother, died at 78 years old on January 9. When speaking about Melania Trump's parents, Donald said: "Great people, great parents to all of us, really. Great parents, but also to Barron. Boy, did she take care of Barron." It's clear that the grandmother-grandson duo had a very close relationship before her death. Donald joked, "That's how he got so tall, he only ate her food."

Donald added that Knavs was "looking down" at the Iowa caucus from heaven and feeling "proud," per the Daily Mail. And, we have a feeling she'd be proud of her grandson, too. In addition to his words about his late mother-in-law, Donald also gave a special shout-out to Barron during his speech and said that his son was watching the event on television. Surely Barron is keeping special tabs on this presidential race, especially as he will be able to vote in his first election this year. While Barron seems like a typical teen in many ways, he might get a chance to do something few teenagers can: cast a vote for his dad.
