Barron Trump has been praised for 'saving' a woman's life, with President Donald Trump's son being branded a hero by some.
Aside from viral videos of a much younger Barron Trump gushing over hit 'sootcase', the youngest of the Trump lineage is notoriously private.
Still, with Donald Trump returning to the White House in January 2025, Barron Trump is often seen by his father's side with his mother, Melania Trump.
Becoming a meme of his own thanks to pulling off some comedic gestures that look like they've been pulled straight out of the Donald Trump playbook, Barron Trump tends to avoid the limelight – maybe backing up those bizarre time travel theories.

In an unexpected turn, The Guardian has reported on how Barron Trump apparently prevented a woman from being beaten up by her ex in London, England.
The outlet explains how Trump made a FaceTime call to the woman, with her testifying in court that Matvei Rumiantsev used her as a 'punching bag' after she answered. It's alleged that the assault was triggered by Rumiantsev's jealousy over the victim's relationship with Barron Trump, which led to the latter phoning the police in the UK.
He phoned her in the early hours of January 18, 2025, previously suggesting to the emergency operator that she'd tried to contact him first.
That original call was played in court, with Trump identifying himself to the dispatcher and then saying: "I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up."
When Trump was initially reluctant to give details on how the paid met, the operator said: "Can you stop being rude and actually answer my questions. If you want to help the person, you’ll answer my questions clearly and precisely.”
Barron Trump later apologized for being rude.
In a later email sent to the Metropolitan Police, Barron Trump reiterated: "I didn’t expect her to pick up due to the time difference."
That same email says: "The phone was picked up. The individual who answered was a shirtless man with darkish hair. This view lasted maybe one second...then the view flipped to the victim.”
As well as making his own call, Trump supposedly asked two of his friends in the USA to phone the police.
After relaying the woman's situation, police attended the scene. While there, one officer says that the caller was likely Donald Trump's son while filming via their bodycam.
The police are said to have phoned Trump back, with him explaining that he first met the woman on social media and was concerned over her crying and "getting really badly beat up" for around 10 to 15 seconds.
Explaining his reasons for phoning the police, Trump maintains it "was the best thing I could do" instead of phoning his friend back and threatening the man who was assaulting her.
The court also heard how Trump told investigating officers: "I was told by the victim, who I am very close with, that this individual was giving her difficulty for a long time.”
While in Snaresbrook Crown Court, the woman told jurors that Rumiantsev strangled her in the January incident, later filing a complaint that alleged two rapes by him.
Rumiantsev denies charges of assault, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, the two counts of rape, intentional strangulation, and perverting the course of justice.
