Barron Trump is taking a break from NYU to visit his parents at Mar-a-Lago. The presidential family will be together for Thanksgiving, joined by their inner circle. Barron returned to Florida for the holidays and was spotted having dinner with Donald and Melania Trump on Saturday night. 

One of the club members at Mar-a-Lago photographed the family on the patio, looking elegant at dinner. Barron wore a navy blue suit and tie, while the future president wore a black suit. Melania wore a white ensemble, including a matching button-down and a structured blazer.

"Honoured to have dinner here celebrating a special day," Karina Safarova wrote on Instagram, sharing footage of their night together at the exclusive club.

"I'm very proud of what he grew up to," Melania said, revealing that Barron has been "enjoying his college days." "His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness.
