19-year-old Barron Trump, who is the son of US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, found himself as the target of a renewed conspiracy theory after a short New Year’s clip spread through social media.
The footage was filmed during the New Year’s celebrations at Mar-a-Lago, where Barron is seen standing beside his parents as guests dance around them.
There is a point where a woman tries to encourage him to join, but he ignores her and keeps close to his mother and avoids all kinds of interactions.
But the awkward moment meant little compared to Barron’s appearance. This alone reignited a long-running claim that he’s not Donald Trump’s biological son but instead the child of former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.
“He’s starting to look more like his father, every year!”- one person wrote, and another agreed. The theory is sustained completely by perceived physical resemblance.
Those marketing it argued about how Barron appears more like Justin Trudeau than his dad. Others dismissed the claim outright, sharing side-by-side images of Barron and a younger Donald Trump to argue that they are opposites.
