A Resurfaced Clip Of A Young Barron Trump Speaking Is The Internet's Latest Obsession

An old CNN clip of the now-18-year-old NYU freshman as a 4-year-old speaking with a Slavic accent has sparked a new catchphrase on social media.

An old CNN clip of President-elect Donald Trump's son Barron is making the rounds on the internet after surprising people with the childhood accent Barron seemed to have had.

The clip, which came from a 2010 episode of Larry King Live, shows a four-year-old Barron talking with his mother Melania Trump in heavily-accented English.


But not in his father's New York accent—rather a childlike duplicate of Melania's Slovenian accent.

Barron Trump is now an 18-year-old—and extremely tall—college freshman at New York University.

But in the resurfaced clip, he's a typical four-year-old, albeit one wearing a pint-size business suit of sorts. Leaping around like a kid and talking with his mom about going to school that day.

The thick accent has led to many theories—namely that it's an indication that Barron spent pretty much his entire childhood being ignored by his father and cared for solely by Melania.

In a longer clip from Larry King Live, Melania basically confirms this to be true, in fact.

But one moment in particular has captured the internet's imagination far more strongly: It's when Barron picks up his tiny kid-size briefcase and says in his Slovenian accent, "I like my suitcase."

A simple phrase, but the way Barron says it, not just with his accent but with an almost desperate exuberance, renders it as "I LIKE MY SOOTCASE," heavy on the "oo" sound—and the internet can't stop laughing about it.

So much so, in fact, that it has created a new meme on social media, with people using the phrase for all kinds of absurd situations, or sometimes just by itself.

Trump Ripped After Forcing National Parks To Drop Free Entry On MLK Day And Juneteenth For Infuriating Reason

President Donald Trump was criticized after the National Park Service announced it will be dropping Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth for next year's calendar of free-entry days and adding Trump's birthday, which happens to fall on Flag Day, on June 14.

Last month, the Department of the Interior unveiled changes to what it now calls its “resident-only patriotic fee-free days,” expanding the calendar to include new dates like the Fourth of July weekend and President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthday, while dropping others that had honored the department itself, including the Bureau of Land Management’s anniversary.
