Donald Trump has found himself feeling excluded from conversations within his own family, according to sources.
The Times Of India reported that Melania Trump, and Barron Trump, frequently communicate in Slovenian, a language Donald does not understand. This language barrier has led to a sense of alienation for the former president, who has made no efforts to learn Slovenian himself.
Despite being sidelined by the language his wife and son use, Trump has not taken steps to bridge the communication gap.
Barron, who is fluent in Slovenian thanks to his upbringing, often speaks it with his mother and her parents.
Melania, originally from Slovenia, has maintained her native language as a key part of their family life.
A source close to the family noted that this forms a tight-knit unit between Melania, her parents, and Barron, where Slovenian is the primary means of communication. Donald Trump, however, remains outside of this circle.
Donald Trump has expressed his frustration with being left out of family conversations, particularly those between Melania and Barron. "It bothered him a lot when he couldn’t figure out what his wife and son were saying during their conversations," shared a source familiar with the situation.
The language barrier is not a new issue for Trump. His ex-wife, Ivana Trump, also used her native language, Czech, to communicate with their children Ivanka, Donald Jr., and Eric.
Similar to the current situation, Trump was unable to participate in many conversations with his children and their grandparents, who were actively involved in their upbringing.
Throughout his life, Donald Trump has never shown much interest in learning foreign languages. Aside from English, he does not speak any other languages, which has contributed to this recurring feeling of exclusion within his family dynamics.
This recent situation with Melania and Barron speaking Slovenian has only added to the divide. Barron, having grown up speaking Slovenian with his mother and grandparents, is fluent in the language, while Donald Trump remains on the outside, unable to understand.
There is speculation that Melania and Barron might enjoy their unique ability to speak Slovenian as a way to maintain privacy within the family.
The language could serve as a “secret” bond between mother and son, especially since Barron has been immersed in Slovenian from a young age.
While some might argue that this private communication could strengthen their relationship, it also creates a noticeable distance from Donald Trump. Despite this, there is no indication that Trump has plans to learn Slovenian in the future.
According to sources, Trump has not attempted to learn Slovenian, leaving the language barrier intact. While the situation reportedly bothers him, he seems unlikely to take any steps to change it. Given the tight family unit formed by Melania, her parents, and Barron, the former president remains an outsider in many of their conversations.
It is also worth noting that Trump had similar experiences during his marriage to Ivana, further highlighting his long-standing disinterest in foreign languages and the impact this has had on his family dynamics.
Trump’s frustration with being left out of conversations is not a new issue. When he was married to Ivana Trump, their children would often speak Czech with their mother and grandparents. This language barrier created a similar sense of exclusion for Trump, who did not understand Czech and had no interest in learning it.
In both instances, the language spoken by his wives and children has served as a dividing factor, leaving Trump on the outside of key family moments.
At this time, it is unclear whether Donald Trump will make any attempts to learn Slovenian to bridge the gap between him and his family. However, given his history and lack of interest in foreign languages, it seems unlikely that he will take this step.
The Trump family has not commented on the matter publicly, leaving questions about how this dynamic might evolve in the future.
