It was undoubtedly the most important night of Donald Trump's life when he was elected as the next president of the United States.
But for his ten-year-old son Barron, the excitement was all too much.
The youngster could barely keep his eyes open as his father made his late night acceptance speech on Tuesday after being voted the 45th President of the United States.

Barron is a normal kid. (The whole family is gosh-darn normal!) I’m sure he doesn’t relish the spotlight, and he probably isn’t thrilled about being fodder for the MSM in the goldfish bowl that will be his home for the next four years. I hope they have the decency to leave Barron alone and pick on Don Jr. or somebody else who can fight back.
Give the kid a break. He’s 10 years old, had probably been up for 18 hours and it was 3 in the morning!
He’s only 10? He is tall.
Agree here too on Jared.
On Barron - I don’t envy his coming lonely days in the White House. At least the Obama girls had each other.
Set my flag out this morning — best way I can celebrate here in leftist ruled Los Angeles county.
Most beautiful, intelligent, gracious, accomplished First Family ever......Just wait a week. The oppo research will come up with Ivanka avoiding taxes, Barron pooping his pants, Eric drinking a beer or whatever. They are scum on the Media side.
My son is the same age as Barron, born the same month, and he was not able to stay awake as I watched Donald graciously accept his victory. I also noticed Barron batting his eyes and moving from side to side struggling to stay awake.
I thought why young Barron would be subjected to this and the answer was two-fold I thought. First, he was with the family the entire night watching the results and likely was adamant to go watch his Dad accept the victory. My own son often begs to stay up for an event although he’s ready to pass out. If there’s a couch, booth or bed nearby, he will pass out asleep. He’s done this before many times.
Second, this is one of the most important events of young Barron’s life as it is for his entire family.
Now Barron can get some richly deserved extra time with his Father who has been sorely missing from most all famly life for more than a year (I’ve read how the family and especially Barron have missed their family head so much).
I’ve never seen anyone, especially a man of 70 years, work so hard to achieve something as I have seen Donald fight to be elected President. I have been amazed for more than a year at Donald’s passion and energy level. He is amazing.
He more than deserves a vacation with his family.
He seemed extremely shy, also.
LoL they are adorable!
> “ I hope they have the decency to leave Barron alone and pick on Don Jr. or somebody else who can fight back.”
You know, either of Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric could be President someday in the future.
It will really be a hard choice!!!
The resemblance is remarkable, especially when you consider how the POTUS-elect looked in HIS younger days.
Barron stole the show without intending to. His facial expressions were priceless. Poor kid. Hubby and I were so cracked up. We really felt for him.
Yes, he was tired and kept fidgeting. Poor thing. Still, his mama should have grabbed his hand or hugged him so he’d stand still.
3 am is late for a 10 year old after such a stressful day!
LOL. I was watching dear Barron and he brought back childhood memories when we had to stay awake for some adult event.
Goodness it was WAY past his bedtime and ours! Barron was fantastic. I wanted to give him a hug!!
maybe he wanted to be part of the family victory “scene” but his body was working against him. been there!
That’s 10 and a half. The half is important at that age.
he was adorable and his exhaustion was understandable. My daughter and i laughed as he could barely stand up. He’s a future star foe sure and will dazzle the media.
Ha.
Just like it is at 90.
My MIL is 90 1/2..my husband keeps reminding me
LOL. Good point! Maybe truant.
