Barron Trump has grown up before our very own eyes.

The 20-year-old is currently enrolled in the NYU Stern School of Business and is set to graduate with the class of 2028.

Although, Barron is no longer a child, especially given his staggering 6'7 stature, we've taken a trip down memory lane with a previously shared video that shows Donald Trump and Melania Trump's son at just four years old, speaking with a thick Slovenian accent.

The video, which was taken from a Larry King interview in 2010, and was posted to X (formerly Twitter), showed the youngest of Trump's children speaking to his mother in English, inside his father's office.

"I like my suitcase," he said excitedly as he jumped up and down on camera. 

"I have to go to school now," he asked his mother in the clip, while sharing the same accent. The future First Lady replied, "First, you will have lunch, and then you'll go to school."

"You can do reading, writing, and arithmetic," Donald said from his desk. Fans praised Melania in the video's comments, as his thick Slovenian accent indicated he spent more time with her while growing up.

"Lowkey impressed by this [because] I'm assuming this means he spent a lot of early years [with] his mom instead of a nanny," one user wrote. 

"You can tell she was a very involved mother," another commented. "It's such a cute interaction." Many called the exchange "adorable", commenting their surprise that he didn't have an American accent despite being raised in New York. 

His accent is not the only change that Barron has experienced growing up in the public eye. He also shocked the world when he towered over his father as Donald made a speech accepting his election win.

The college student stood at a whopping 6'7, and the President-elect credited his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, for his son's incredible height.

"Boy, did she take care of Barron," he said of Melania's late mother at the Iowa Caucus in January. "That's how he got so tall – he only ate her food."

He told the crowd that Amalija was "way up there, she's looking down, and she's so proud of us."

"Great people, great parents to all of us, really great parents but also to Barron," he finished. The 80-year-old also joked that Barron's stature could lead to a successful basketball career if only he were interested.

"I said, 'You're gonna be a basketball player'," Donald said at the event. "He said, 'Well, I like soccer, Dad, actually'. I thought…at your height, I like basketball better, but you can't talk them into everything."

Barron became involved in his father's election campaigns, lending Donald his insight as a member of Gen Z.

He encouraged his father to do interviews on some of the world's most popular podcasts, including Joe Rogan's and Logan Paul's.

"He tells me about all the hot guys," Donald told Maria Bartiromo. "People I never heard about."
