An old video of Barron Trump, long before he was towering over both his parents (and basically everyone), has re-emerged.

Someone on the Internet shared the clip, taken from a 2010 Donald Trump interview with late CNN legend Larry King.

Cameras were allowed into the real estate mogul’s New York office, where the president elect’s wife Melania was having a cute interaction with their son, then only 4.

Dressed in a suit, Barron is jumping around the space and then hops over to a briefcase, exclaiming, “I like my suitcase!”

He then approaches his Slovenia born mother and asks, “I have to go to school now?” in an accent that resembles hers. “Now, I’m gonna go?”

“First, you will have lunch,” Melania tells the child. “Then you will go to school.”

Trump tells his youngest child, “Now you can do reading, writing and arithmetic.”

The unearthed relic has gone viral on Tiktok and elsewhere, probably because Barron is kind of a mystery, and his voice is rarely heard.

In undated footage at Mar a Lago event in Palm Beach that made the online rounds months ago, you can get a slight idea of how the NYU freshman talks.

Barron is with his brother-in-law Michael Boulos, who is married to Tiffany Trump, and asks him, “Impressed with this?”

There is no longer any trace of an accent.
