President Donald Trump’s son, Barron, is reportedly keeping a low profile these days due to threats from Iran and the multiple attempts on his father's life.

A source familiar with the situation reportedly told The New York Post that Barron, 20, "doesn't go out" and has spent much of the summer with First Lady Melania Trump at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.

Another source reportedly told the paper that the young man is "pretty reclusive."

The president has had a string of attempts on his life, including the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting that left his ear bleeding and an attempt on his life during the White House Correspondents Dinner.

But Barron has also reportedly been identified as a target. A video that has been attributed to an individual in Iran was released with the title "Where to kill Barron Trump." It announced a $10 million bounty on the young man's head. The same group reportedly named the first lady as a target as well.

According to Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's book Regime Change, Barron was also reportedly shaken by the shooting death of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk, whom he considered a friend.

“This is what happens when you go out there,” Barron reportedly told his father.

When asked for comment, the Office of the First Lady reportedly told the New York Post that "in light of recent threats" it would withhold publishing "any details concerning his private life."

During President Joe Biden's administration, Barron was scheduled to lose his Secret Service protection, but the first lady petitioned the then-president to extend his protection. Biden agreed. Trump rewarded that act by cancelling the Secret Service detail for Biden's adult children, Hunter and Ashley, upon his return to office.

Dr Azita Sayan, a therapist who has treated adolescent trauma but has not treated Barron, said the young man is likely hyper-aware of the potential danger someone in his position might face.

“Barron is probably a lot more aware and a lot more astute, and a lot more conscientious in terms of the real dangers,” she told the paper.

She noted that just because he is reclusive doesn't mean he's traumatized, however.

“He’s protecting himself and making his friendships and his decisions privately rather than to have them be on display, which I think is developmentally healthy," she said.
