The Trump family Christmas photograph shows Barron Trump is ready to take on a more public role.
This is according to a new report from the New York Post.
The report, according to the outlet, is based on "a well-placed source," namely, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former senior aide to former First Lady Melania Trump.
For those unfamiliar with Barron Trump, he is the 17-year-old son of former President Donald Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump. Both Melania Trump and Barron Trump, since the end of the Trump administration, have avoided the public spotlight. But, it appears that, in the case of Barron Trump, this may be about to change.
In case you missed it, Kimberly Guilfoyle - the fiancee of Donald Trump Jr. - posted to social media a family photograph that the Trumps took on Christmas Eve at the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Take a look:

The photograph shows Trump with many members of his immediate and extended family, including four of his children - Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Barron Trump. Also in the photograph are the spouses of some of Trump's children and several of Trump's grandchildren.
Melania Trump, Trump's wife, is not in the photograph. Reports indicate that this is because she was caring for her sick mother, Amalija.
But, the part of the photograph that has stood out to many is Barron Trump. Many on social media have pointed out Barron's prominent position in the photograph - directly next to his father. Social media users have also highlighted Barron's height, which must be around six foot eight inches.
Wolkoff - Melania Trump's former aide - told the Post that there is more to the photograph than the average person might realize.
Wolkoff described Barron's appearance as "truly monumental," and she said that the photograph suggests that Barron Trump may be ready to take on a more public role.
"Melania’s decision to include Barron in this family activity, even if she couldn’t be there herself, might be a significant turning point, potentially fostering a new level of support between Melania and Donald," Wolkoff said.
She continued, “Barron’s appearance is truly monumental and shows Donald and Melania are in lockstep with one another."
“I believe we will be seeing more of him now. Nothing happens by chance with Melania," Wolkoff added.
