Donald Trump and his wife Melania clash over raising Barron
Donald Trump and his wife Melania - who have been hit by the ex-president's bombshell convictions the past few weeks - clash over raising Barron, an expert has suggested.
Their 18-year-old son is thought to live with them in the Florida compound of Mar-a-Lago, and he is said to be very close with his mother.
In fact, Barron was seen leaving Trump Tower with his mother and multiple cases of luggage in the weeks after the jury's guilty verdict.
An expert in body language gave Express.co.uk an analysis of the couple, explaining that the two parents clash somewhat in their raising on Barron.
While Donald is keen to push Barron forward, Melania is incredibly protective.
Body language guru Judi James commented: "Trump's body language signals with his son Barron suggest he is a bit of a 'Lion King' papa, proudly presenting the boy to the world while hinting he is a chip off the old block."
In contrast, Melania adopts a much more shielding stance towards Barron.
Judi observed: "While Melania's envelopment and support gestures suggest a more protective and nurturing approach, with her arm wrapped around her son as he leans forward in the oldest photo, and then both hands used for gentle support and restraint as he starts to toddle in some of the later ones."
The expert pointed out that Donald has a go-to stance with Barron, indicating his "pride and endorsement."
She remarked: "As Barron gets older Trump tends to stand him directly in front of himself, clutching both his shoulders in a gesture of pride and endorsement."
"The clasp allows the young Barron to adopt a similar, upright with slightly splayed legs pose as his dad."
Judi commented: "Finally, once Barron grows taller and those 'stabilizer' hands come off, Trump appears to display confidence in his son by allowing him his body language independence."
