Rumors swirl as Barron Trump reportedly has new girlfriend
At the time of writing, however, there have been no whisperings about the identity of Barron's mystery woman. 'Barron has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot,' an insider close to Barron told NewsNation last month. Additional insiders added that despite being under the watchful eyes of the Secret Service, Barron has been able to date freely. 'He can have a girlfriend as the Secret Service guys are well-versed on how to handle this,' a political source added to People. 'Anyone who says being under Secret Service protection would keep him from dating is way off.'
Barron's reported girlfriend is thought to be a first for the US president's son. Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Barron for comment. In October 2024, Trump divulged a rare bit of very personal information about his son Barron's dating life.
Trump, who routinely recites just a few anodyne facts when asked about his son, fielded the question in an appearance on the PBD podcast with interviewer Patrick Bet-David. 'Is he good with the ladies in school at NYU? Is he there yet?' asked the interviewer. 'No, I'm not sure he's – I don't think he's had a girlfriend yet,' Trump said at the time. 'I don't think so. Every once in a while…' he said, before ending the thought in rapid-fire conversation. 'He's a good-looking guy,' Trump added about his towering 6-foot-9 son.
Barron is reportedly one of the biggest beneficiaries of that cashflow, with the executive title 'Web3 ambassador,' alongside his half-brothers Don Jr. and Eric. Each of Trump's sons is believed to hold a 7.5 percent stake in the company. There are some disclosure and partial interest sales that could complicate the overall take-home pay from the venture. But at just 19 years old, he appears to have earned far more than his older siblings did at the same age — thanks to a digital gold rush that's become the centerpiece of the Trump family's modern empire.
Barron, who reportedly introduced his father to the concept of digital wallets, has been credited by Trump as the family's crypto brain. 'Barron's a young guy, but he knows it — he talks about his wallet,' Trump said in a previous interview. 'He's got four wallets or something, and I'm saying, 'What is a wallet?'' President Trump is also making a healthy sum, too.
A newly released 234-page financial disclosure revealed the President raked in more than $57 million last year from cryptocurrency ventures. Trump himself owns a 52.5 percent stake in the company, per his disclosure.

Fans fear The Last Of Us has been 'ruined' after creator quits
After news spread that the creator of The Last Of Us Neil Druckmann had quit many feared that the series had been 'ruined' before season three has even kicked off. The smash-hit drama, which is named after the highly successful video game, launched in 2023. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey play the lead roles as Joel and Ellie and it follows a group of survivors two decades after a viral fungal infection almost wiped out humanity in its entirety. However, ahead of its third series, the show's creator sensationally quit. The 46-year-old Druckmann was responsible for the thriller's transition from a video game into a multi-season show. Announcing the news on Instagram Neil said: 'I've made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last Of Us on HBO. 'With work completed on season two and before any meaningful work starts on season three, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects.' '[This includes] writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, along with my responsibilities as Studio Head and Head Of Creative. 'Co-creating the show has been a career highlight. It's been an honor to work alongside Craig Mazin to executive produce, direct and write on the last two seasons.' Reacting to the news, fans flooded social media with comments, as one said: 'Oh god. This will be the final blow to the show.' A second posted: 'The episodes he was the director of were the best and highly rated either in season 1 or 2.' 'Season 3 already flopped even before filming,' said a third. While a fourth penned: 'Season 3 might lose its soul without Druckmann Mazin's good, but this story was born from Neil's mind.' The Last Of Us has proven popular with viewers and even critics, with the series receiving an impressive 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Series two concluded in May of this year, with some fans left furious over its ending they branded 'garbage'. It ended on a major cliffhanger over the character of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and her fate following a confrontation with Abby (Kaitlyn Dever). The finale kicked off by following Ellie as well as Jesse (Young Mazino) and Dina (Isabela Merced) on their third day in Seattle - as Ellie continued her hunt for Abby to avenge Joel's (Pedro Pascal) death that occurred in episode two. The seventh episode - which is titled Convergence - built up to an explosive few minutes, leaving more than one character dead and questions left unanswered. However, viewers were less than thrilled with the finale, with some slamming its pacing and others simply calling it 'trash.'

Is ‘princess treatment' a harmless trend – or yet more fuel for misogyny?
Do you wish you were a princess? Do you crave being cosseted and showered with gifts, having every door opened and every chair pulled out? Perhaps you'd rather not pay for your clothes; maybe you're sick of deciding what to eat and where. Courtney Palmer can help. The self-proclaimed housewife princess has a series of TikTok videos on 'princess treatment' and how to get it. It's a matter of accepting compliments graciously, dressing the part, being unapologetically good to yourself (disappointingly, this seems to mean exercising and drinking water) but mostly ministering to your partner, who is treated as a weirdly needy and highly suggestible man-baby. Would-be princesses should create a calm, frictionless domestic paradise for their provider prince, 'speaking in a feminine way – we're not screaming, yelling; we're not cursing', thanking him for picking up his dirty underwear. Princess treatment is the reward and it comes in the form of diamond earrings, Chanel flats, flowers and old-school chivalry. It's emetic and, in a recent TikTok that catapulted Palmer into a more critical spotlight, disturbing. Explaining what princess treatment looks like at a restaurant, Palmer said: 'I do not interact with the waitress; I do not open any doors and I do not order my own food … You do not need to talk unless you are spoken to … You're not going to be laughing loudly, speaking loudly, demanding the attention of the restaurant.' Yikes. Palmer called it 'letting your husband lead and be masculine' and 'a fun princess treatment thing'. Commenters found it cult-like, concerning and bizarre. 'As a former waitress, I would have slipped you a note and asked if you're OK or if I should call the police,' one said. I do wonder how real any of this is. Does 'princess treatment' exist beyond its social-media shop window? Tradwives aren't tradwives, after all – they are content creators, and winding people up with jaw-droppingly regressive gender messaging generates revenue: outrage drives eyeballs and eyeballs mean dollars. Nara Smith, famed for wearing OTT dresses while making her own bubblegum and breakfast cereal, was recently reported by Cosmopolitan to be earning an estimated $200,000 a month on TikTok. Most relationships are nothing like what Palmer presents, or like other pearly-toothed, wholesome TikTok couples who jokily quiz each other on what constitutes princess treatment or a relationship 'bare minimum'. My own husband occasionally gives me 'goose treatment' – a careful wide berth – but our marriage is not a transactional game. Couples of all varieties mostly muddle through, trying to be decent to each other. But Palmer et al are servicing a real aspiration, or at least a relatable fantasy. I get it, kind of – it would be nice if every day were like my birthday (but not nice enough to spend my life cooking and cleaning while wearing broderie anglaise to achieve it). And I suppose that in a time of global turmoil, having a 'provider' can feel like security. But it's the opposite: relinquishing autonomy – bodily, financial, intellectual – leaves women dangerously vulnerable. And this stuff isn't anodyne: it confirms the manosphere's misogynistic assumptions about 'alphas' and 'high-value females', and empowers rollers-back of reproductive rights, reinforcing the idea that it's OK to take decisions on women's behalf (they don't even want to order a side of fries for themselves!). The 'princess' label is pretty accurate. Historically, princesses provided beauty and babies, and were largely powerless; royal marriages were transactional arrangements. And as Hilary Mantel was unfairly criticised for writing about the then-Duchess of Cambridge, princess life is still stultifying, mostly about projecting irreproachable, mute perfection. There's definitely no 'cursing'. Maybe some women enjoy imagining a life of calm, cared-for passivity – but could content at least get more creative? How about 'goddess treatment': demand offerings and sacrifices, keep people on their toes with the prospect of being turned into something nasty? If that's not passive enough, how about 'pet treatment'? Imagine being treated like a house cat: loved unconditionally and lavished with gifts for nothing more than napping, shedding hair, eating, demanding strokes and occasionally lashing out for no reason. If a TikToker could tell me how to get 'cat treatment', I'd definitely like and follow. Emma Beddington is a Guardian columnist

Donald Trump's 'terrible' pet name for wife Melania revealed as he admits to using it every night
President Donald Trump revealed his nickname for wife Melania and then went on to admit it was 'terrible.' During his speech in Iowa on Thursday night, the president slipped up, calling his wife of 25 years by her pet name. 'I remember saying to our great first lady…' he began, before adding: 'I call her 'First Lady,' isn't it terrible?' 'I say, 'Good night, First Lady, my darling,' because it reminds me that I'm president,' he noted. Melania must have been on his mind as he had seen her shortly before leaving for his rally. The couple had met freed American hostage Edan Alexander in the Oval Office, where the president revealed his wife's concern about the captives in the Gaza war. 'The first lady, it was very important to her,' Trump told Alexander and his family. Melania Trump is spending a rare few days at the White House to celebrate the Fourth of July. She'll join President Trump on the South Lawn to watch the fireworks and to host a picnic for military members. On Thursday, the first lady visited Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C., where she made patriotic decorations with kids and decorated the Children's Health Garden for the holiday. She even invited the group to come to the White House for the 250th Independence Day celebration next year on July 4, 2026 and told them about the upcoming celebration including the fireworks show and F14 flyovers. The first lady joked about her husband's love of golf when kids asked if she shared President Donald Trump 's love of the sport. 'No, I don't play golf,' she laughed, but disclosed that she used to play. Nine former and current patients of the hospital in Washington, D.C. sat with Trump for an art session, decorating rocks to put in the Children's Health Garden and coloring on note pads branded with the first lady's signature 'Be Best' initiative. The first lady brought the kids goodie bags with blankets, children's books and teddy bears with 'Best Best' t-shirts. The kids went outside after their crafts session with Trump to use their art to decorate the Healing Garden at the hospital. And Melania Trump showed them a new flower - the 'External Flame' hybrid tea rose, which is a highly fragrant yellow rose - the White House donated to the garden. Following her visit to the healing garden, Trump made private visits with heart and kidney transplant patients. The first lady has made children's wellbeing a priority through her Be Best program. Trump visited the hospital every year around Christmas during her first tenure as first lady. It is a longtime tradition for the spouse of a president to visit the children's care center around the holidays. Melania Trump spends most of her time in New York, where their son Barron is a student at New York University. Before returning to the White House for her second tenure as first lady, she said she would be in Washington D.C. on an as needed basis. 'I will be in the White House. When I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach,' she told Fox News. 'My first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife.' After the fireworks on Friday, the Trumps will head to Bedminster, N.J., where they have a home on Trump's golf course there.
