White House officials are reportedly monitoring a social media account dedicated to Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, due to concerns that its activity could pose security risks.
Operated by a Brazilian teenager, the page has amassed over 450,000 followers and regularly shares images and commentary about Barron, who has largely maintained a private life.
The account’s creator, a 19-year-old student from Brazil, told the Daily Mail that she started the page out of admiration for Barron, describing him as her “first famous crush.”
She emphasized that she has no personal contact with the Trump family and doubts that they are aware of her posts.
“I’ve never talked to Barron Trump or anyone else from the Trump family that I know of, and I’ve never met any of the Trumps in person,” she said.
Sources indicate that individuals connected to the Trump family have reached out to the teen to better understand her intentions.
She shared that she regularly receives messages from fans and associates of the family, none of which are considered threatening.
She plans to continue posting content she finds interesting, including any photos she can find of Barron, according to Trending Politics.
The young fan also expressed admiration for First Lady Melania Trump, praising her elegance and composure.
“Melania has that kind of classic and timeless beauty, but what enchants me most is her aura of mystery, and the firm way she deals with everything, without having to say much,” she said.
Resist the Mainstream highlighted last week that Barron reportedly missed the first week of his sophomore year at New York University’s Stern School of Business, which drew attention from students and observers.
The younger Trump is allegedly studying abroad this semester, according to TP.
As a member of the first family, Barron continues to receive protective coverage from a dedicated Secret Service detail.
Agents follow him discreetly, often in casual attire with NYU identification badges, allowing him to attend classes without attracting undue attention.
Even with these measures, his height and public profile make him recognizable to fellow students.
Experts caution that viral fan accounts can create unintended pressures and risks for teenagers in prominent families.
While often stemming from admiration, these pages can inadvertently attract unwanted attention or foster rumors, making it harder for young adults to maintain personal boundaries.
According to the U.S. Surgeon General, excessive social media use among adolescents is linked to increased risks of mental health issues, including depression and anxiety.
For Barron, who has consistently stayed out of the public spotlight compared with his older siblings, such exposure underscores the challenges of navigating both adolescence and extraordinary visibility.
Balancing public fascination with privacy remains a central concern for both the family and federal security officials.
The situation illustrates the delicate balance the Trump family must maintain between allowing Barron to pursue a normal college experience and protecting him from potential risks.
While the social media account highlights the persistent public interest, the Secret Service ensures that his academic and personal life can continue safely.
