Donald Trump and Barron Trump Attend Funeral of Melania Trump’s Mother in Palm Beach

Former President Donald Trump and his youngest son, Barron Trump, were seen together attending the funeral of Melania Trump‘s mother, Amalija Knavs, in Palm Beach. The solemn occasion brought a glimpse of tenderness between father and son, as Barron reached out to comfort his father outside an Episcopal church. Trump, who is currently running for president again, has been facing legal battles and was earlier in New York City for a defamation trial.

Trump expressed his disappointment that the trial judge, Lewis Kaplan, did not postpone the proceedings so he could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral. Despite his anger, Trump put it aside at the funeral, allowing Melania Trump to lead the proceedings. She paid tribute to her mother’s nurturing spirit and unparalleled affection in a heartfelt eulogy.

Donald Trump also honored Amalija Knavs during his victory speech at the Iowa Republican caucuses, highlighting her support and pride in his endeavors. Joined by their adult children, including Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, Don Jr., and Eric, the Trump family bid farewell to Melania’s parents, who recently became U.S. citizens with the sponsorship of Melania Trump.

Since leaving the White House and relocating to Mar-a-Lago, Trump has reportedly been spending more quality time with Barron. Melania Trump acknowledged being the more hands-on parent during Trump’s first presidential campaign but described the special bond between father and son. Trump’s pride in Barron’s athleticism and height has also been evident, as he has publicly praised his son’s attributes in campaign rallies.
