In a poignant moment that defied the usual stoicism of the Trump family, 17-year-old Barron Trump extended a hand of comfort to his father Donald during the funeral of Melania’s mother in Florida. The event, marked by grief, witnessed a rare emotional display from the Trumps, as captured in a photo capturing Barron reaching out to his father, who appeared somber on this solemn occasion. Donald expressed deep sorrow over the loss of his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, stating he felt “very sad” about her passing.
Renowned body language expert Judi James observed a shift in the Trump family’s demeanor at the funeral, noting, “It elicits an unusual response from their son Barron, too. Clearly tuned into his father’s mood, he extends a hand in what looks like a mimed or truncated embrace that could suggest a desire to show comfort and/or support.” The funeral became a testing time for the family, prompting unexpected emotional responses, especially from Donald Trump, who appeared to mourn Melania’s mother as a personal loss. In certain images, Trump adopted a posture reminiscent of Melania, displaying vulnerability with his arms falling to the front of his torso and a reflective frown.

Bojan Pozar, author of “Melania Trump – The Inside Story: The Potential First Lady,” highlighted, “Ines Knavs was the one who took care of all the paperwork at the Slovenia consulate in New York so that Barron could formally acquire Slovenian citizenship.” Barron, the first former first child with dual citizenship while residing in the White House, experienced a distinctive upbringing, shielded by Melania’s protective instincts.
