Melania Trump is a proud mom. The future First Lady opened up about her "grown young man" Barron Trump following her husband Donald Trump's presidential campaign. Melania also commented on the viral video of Barron, where he can be seen talking with a Slovenian accent as a child.

During her latest interview with Fox & Friends, Melania highlighted Barron's "knowledge." "He is a grown young man, I'm very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving advice to his father. He brought in so many young people he knows his generation," she said.

Melania continued, "Because nowadays, the young generation, they don't sit in front of TV anymore, they're all on their tablets, they're on their phones and all of this these podcasts and streamers. He was very vocal and he gave advice to his father and was incredible how he brought in a success because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to," she added.

About the viral video of young Barron, Melania said that "Years go by so fast. We just don't imagine. It's like I see the clip that you just showed, I feel like it was like a few months ago, but time goes so fast."

Melania went on to talk about Barron's experience at NYU amid his new life chapter after graduating from high school and starting college. "I don't think it's possible for him to be a normal student. His experience at college, it's very different than any other kid," she said.

"He's doing great. He loves his classes and his professors," the proud mom previously shared with FOX News. "He’s doing well. He’s thriving and he’s enjoying to be in New York City again."

"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. It's admirable," she said. "It was his decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that."
