Melania Trump’s Favorite Childhood Classic Book (Also Loved by Barron)

While Dr. Seuss was an important part of Melania Trump’s relationship with her son, Barron Trump, the two have a close bond that’s lasted into adulthood. In January 2025, she sat down with Ainsley Earhardt on Fox News and explained how she handled traveling between Washington D.C. and New York, because Barron would be attending New York University. “My first priority is to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife,” she said. She and Barron are solid. 

Literacy and reading are obviously important to the first lady, even beyond the scope of motherhood. After all, Melania published her own memoir, simply named “Melania” in 2024, which recounted her story from Slovenia to the White House. This puts her among the ranks of first ladies who wrote books. In Melania’s memoir, she spoke warmly about her relationship with her husband, so for those wondering about her and Donald Trump’s demise, they’re solid. Heck, Women.com even spoke with an astrologer, who confirmed that Melania and Donald will be together for life. So even though there’s no denying the red flags in Donald and Melania’s relationship, things are ultimately good between Barron’s parents. Since Melania dished about her own life in a memoir, it’s not surprising that Melania and Barron have bonded over books, too, and have stayed close as a family, from Dr. Seuss, to the White House, to Barron’s academic life at NYU.
