Photos of Barron Trump exiting Air Force One with his famous parents have got people talking because he’s rarely seen in public.

Barron Trump looked unrecognisable as he stepped out of Air Force One with his parents on the weekend.

At only 13, the first son towered over President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump even in her Christian Louboutin stilletos.

The president is said to be 190.50cm.

Barron also sported a new look as he returned to the White House with his parents after a two-week vacation at his dad’s New Jersey golf course.

The preppy style we are used to seeing him in has been replaced by a more hip look complete with chunky silver chain.

Barron wore an all-black Ralph Lauren T-shirt, matching pants and white Nike sneakers.

The teenager’s shaggy hair has been replaced by a shorter, casual cut.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Barron.

The youngster became the target of abuse after his dad resumed office.

Following Donald Trump’s rise, his opponents criticised his youngest son on everything from his haircut to his clothing, inspiring an onslaught of memes and routine comparisons to Joffrey Baratheon, the cruel and entitled heir of King Robert in Game of Thrones.

Rosie O’Donnell caused controversy after she tweeted out a video suggesting the 10-year-old was autistic.

She tweeted: “Barron Trump autistic? If so — what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic.”

We haven’t seen much of Barron. His mother has previously said she wants to keep him out of the spotlight. Picture: AFPSource:AFP

Melania responded by taking legal action, with her lawyer arguing O’Donnell’s sharing of the video made the bullying of the young Trump even worse.

The move forced O’Donnell to issue an immediate apology.

We don’t know much about Barron, other than that he speaks Slovene and is the only child of the President and First Lady.

Speaking to George Stephanopoulos in 2016, Melania said she wants to keep him out of the spotlight to ensure his childhood is as “balanced” and “normal” as it can be.
