Leftists in the media are once again scrutinizing former President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron, Nicki Swift reported. Everything from his close relationship with his father to his teenage growth spurt has been shown in a disparaging light.

Children of political leaders are supposed to be off-limits to journalists. However, when it comes to Barron, the scrutiny has continued from his father's time in office.

As Trump gears up for his 2024 presidential run, Barron is once again fodder for the media. The piece on the Nicki Swift website, "20 Facts About Donald Trump's Youngest Son, Barron," touches on many subjects related to Barron, including the fact that he's close to his father.

Notably, the outlet's YouTube companion video is titled more harshly as "The Truth Is Tumbling Out About Barron Trump." One of those "truths" includes the endearing way Trump gushed about Barron's "delicate hands" when he was first born.

Barron's mother, Melania Trump, also told CNN's Larry King that Donald Trump and his newborn son spent time together reading the newspapers and watching television. It's clear that he's an involved father, though Nicki Swift was sure to mention Donald Trump doesn't change diapers.

The news outlet also examined how many people believe Barron is just like his famous father. "Given that he loves to wear suits and moisturize his skin with caviar, it should surprise exactly no one that Melania Trump often refers to her only son as 'little Donald' and 'mini-Donald,'" the piece said.

Barron's mother said her son is a "very strong-minded, very special, smart boy," the former first lady said.  "He is independent and opinionated and knows exactly what he wants. ... He is a mixture of us in looks, but his personality is why I call him little Donald," she added.

The youngest Trump son also looked up to his father from a young age. He wanted to play golf and become a successful businessman like his dad.

The media outlet noted that Melania Trump's use of the moniker should surely be an insult to Trump's grown son, Donald Trump Jr. There's no evidence that the relationship between Trump and his namesake, who is Barron's half-brother, is anything but amicable.

Even Tony Senecal, the former butler to the Trump family, similarly thinks Barron takes after his father the most. He relayed his observation via an anecdote shared several years ago.

"When Barron was two-and-a-half years old I took his breakfast into him," Senecal told "Inside Edition" in March 2016. "He was sitting in his highchair and he looks at me and he said: 'Tony! Sit down! We need to talk!'" he recalled.

The Nicki Swift reporters noted that this story couldn't be verified, but that they "can't say it's too hard to imagine." Other commentary about the younger Trump included talk about his growth spurt by repeating a joke about Barron made on Twitter that he "looks like two kids in a trench coat."

The piece also reprinted an observation from reporters who noticed that Barron seemed to "grow half a foot since Thanksgiving" in a January 2020 tweet. The 6'7" young man is not the first teenage boy to seemingly grow overnight, but those in the media apparently think it's newsworthy.

The Trump family has been treated unkindly by the news media ever since Donald Trump announced his run for office in 2015. Now, they're barely hiding their critique of his 17-year-old son as the presidential campaign season is ramping up.
