Former First Lady Melania Trump is angry with Donald Trump after their son Barron, 17, was used as a “political pawn” in a social media post, breaking the promise he had made to her.

Former President Donald Trump posted a photo of his son in July, which aimed to disparage current President Joe Biden.

Trump’s post said: “In an effort to level the playing field, Barron Trump will debate Joe Biden!”

This post came amid Trump’s ongoing legal troubles that have reportedly left Melania “deeply shaken,” according to the report.

She added that she considered Trump’s “decision to trot out Barron a personal betrayal she can’t forgive.”

A source Radar Online: “Melania has been incredibly protective of Barron and has told Donald she would not stand for him to be exploited by anyone, even his father!

“He made a promise to protect their son - and he broke it. There’s a good chance she won’t forgive him, and the next time we see them together may be in divorce court.”

A source added: “Despite Donald’s denials, Melania has already had to endure an indictment in New York that suggests he had an affair with a porn star while she was pregnant with Barron.

“Now, she’s livid after he’s broken his promise of keeping their son out of the spotlight.”

The former First Lady has always been protective of her son - she has raged at politicians and legal analysts for using her son’s name publicly.

Just last month, Eric Trump mentioned Barron as he spoke on the special counsel investigation into the attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

Speaking on Newsmax, Eric said the special counsel was personally “going through Barron’s underwear drawer.”

The former president will be traveling to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to face charges relating to the aftermath of the 2020 presidential vote. The state alleges Trump attempted to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.

Trump has confirmed he will surrender to the courts in Georgia, just hours after his bond was set at $200,000.
