Trump Jokes His Teenage Son Barron Can Hack His Computer

Former US President Donald Trump Saturday night highlighted his youngest son Barron's technological talents.

During his address to Republican Party powerbrokers in Orlando, he joked that the 15-year-old was able to hack into his computer. Praising the computer whiz, he said that Barron can make "his computer sing." Trump shared that he turns it off and locks it, "two minutes later, 'hi Dad how you doing?' I say what are you doing. ‘I know how to get it open Dad’.”

According to Independent, Trump is a technophobe, who earlier said that he uses email very rarely. As for his son, the teenager is enrolled at Oxbridge Academy, which is a $34,800-a-year private school in Palm Beach near the Trumps' Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, reported The Sun.

Last summer, a spokesperson for the elite school confirmed that Barron will graduate in the class of 2024. The school's Director of Advancement, Scott Siegfried, said they "look forward to welcoming him into our school and community." Through an email, the school told parents that the secret service will now have a presence on the 54-acre campus.

Commenting on the secret service, the school said that they want to have "little impact on our day-to-day operations." The school shared, “They've done this for other former presidents' kids. They're fantastic." The school was founded in 2011 by billionaire William Koch, who is a brother of Republican mega-donors Charles and David Koch, according to The Sun.

Barron's parents, Trump and Melania, relocated to their private club Mar-a-Lago resort after leaving the White House instead of going back to Trump’s native New York. Unlike his popular dad, Barron doesn't often get spotted by the paparazzi. Over the past year, the teenager was seen towering over the former president and his mother. In a rare sighting, the teenager was spotted with his mom last July when they visited New York. He was seen carrying her bag while leaving Trump tower.

Barron, who stands at 6 foot 7 inches, is reportedly the tallest of the Trump children. While his half brother Eric is 6-foot-5-inches, Donald Jr is 6-foot-1. As for Barron's half sisters, Ivanka is 5-foot-11-inches and Tiffany is 5-foot-8-inches tall.
