During his historic inauguration on Monday, President Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron was praised for his “very classy” demeanor and “honorable” behavior.
Many hailed First Lady Melania Trump for having raised a “true gentleman.”
During the ceremony, Barron Trump impressed observers on all sides when he gave firm handshakes to former President Joe Biden and ex-VP Kamala Harris.
It came as Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States inside the Capitol Rotunda on Monday morning.
He took his oath of office while his wife held a historic and sentimental pair of Bibles.
One of the Bibles is the Lincoln Bible, the same one the Civil War-era president put his hand on when taking the oath in 1861.
The other Bible was a family heirloom passed to President Trump by his mother.
It’s traditional to take the oath of office, as is mandated by the Constitution.

The gesture of peace has led fans to praise the New York University freshman as “a gentleman” and “raised well.”
“[Melania] brought up a true gentleman wow I’ve never seen a classier 18-year-old,” one person said.
“Smart young man. Knows his way around the room,” a second person said.
“He is very impressive & clearly, raised well,” a third said.
“I was very impressed by that gesture and from someone so young,” another person said.
“To go across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature thing to do. Good for Barron.”
“Someday I hope this honorable young man becomes president too,” added a fifth person.
Many people commended Melania for raising Barron well and knowing to treat others with respect.
“His mama taught him well,” one person said.
“Such a classy, well-brought-up young man,” said another.
“As a mother, I am moved. God bless him.”
“Such a good young man,” said another observer.
“That gesture just tells you everything. Well done Melania.”
Barron showed off a slicked-back new hairstyle as he attended his father’s historic second inauguration on Monday.
The 18-year-old looked smart in a long black overcoat, white shirt, and purple tie as he attended a church ceremony in St John’s Episcopal Church opposite the White House on Monday morning.
The NYU-Stern student, who towers over his mom and dad at 6’9, kept his expression neutral as he walked into church and sat in a pew alongside his parents.
After he was sworn in, Trump promised a “new golden age of America.”
“The decline is over,” he told about 600 allies, dignitaries, and family members inside the U.S. Capitol building.
He used his inaugural address to promote the idea of an optimistic new dawn.
As Arctic temperatures blasted Washington D.C. outside, Trump was surrounded by the Washington establishment, his political enemies, tech titans, and MAGA allies for his inauguration inside the Capitol building.
It offered a visual illustration of how the one-time political outsider has conquered Washington in an extraordinary political comeback.
President Donald J. Trump survived unprecedented adversity to become only the second POTUS in history to win non-consecutive terms.
According to Trump, divine intervention returned him to the White House to “Make America Great Again.”
