Was Barron Trump born in 2006 and where was he born?
Executive summary
Yes—multiple mainstream biographical and news sources record Barron William Trump’s birthdate as March 20, 2006, and his birthplace as New York City (Manhattan). Those contemporary profiles and news stories consistently report the same facts while noting later debates about his public role and citizenship implications [1] [2] [3].
1. The basic fact: date and place recorded by major profiles
Authoritative public profiles list Barron Trump’s birth as March 20, 2006, and place it in New York City; that information appears in encyclopedic entries such as Wikipedia and in major biographical rundowns like Biography.com, as well as entertainment databases such as IMDb and aggregators like FamousBirthdays, all of which state the March 20, 2006 birth in New York [1] [3] [2] [4].
2. Consistency across news outlets and local reporting
Local and national outlets that have covered Barron’s milestones—his 18th birthday reporting, high‑school graduation and college enrollment—repeat the March 20, 2006 New York birthplace consistently [5] [6] [7], reinforcing the same basic biographical data across disparate reporting contexts.
3. Corroboration in public databases and reference sites
Reference resources and databases—Wikidata and several celebrity/astrology pages that compile birth data—also list 2006 (March 20) and New York as birth details for Barron Trump, demonstrating broad secondary‑source agreement even where primary vital‑records are not reproduced in the publicly available profiles [8] [9] [10].
4. The citizenship dispute and how the birth facts are used in argument
Because Barron is recorded as born in the United States, fact‑checking organizations have used that date/place to rebut social‑media claims that questioned his citizenship; FactCheck.org emphasizes that being born in the U.S. (and not to a diplomat) confers birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, and it cites the birth in the U.S. as central to that legal conclusion [11]. That legal framing explains why Barron’s 2006 New York birth is cited repeatedly in debates about proposed limits on birthright citizenship.
5. Sources, agendas and what the records do—and don’t—show
Most available citations are secondary: encyclopedias, news stories, entertainment databases and local newspapers all align on March 20, 2006 and New York City, but the items provided here do not include a primary birth certificate or hospital record in the snippets reviewed, so reporting relies on widely accepted public biographical data rather than a scanned official vital record [2] [1] [3] [5]. Some outlets that repeat the facts have partisan or entertainment incentives—news coverage can be shaped by political context and celebrity interest—so the uniformity of the record should be read together with awareness of those competing motives [6] [12].
6. Bottom line and caveats
The preponderance of reliable public sources lists Barron William Trump’s birthdate as March 20, 2006, and locates his birth in New York City (Manhattan), and fact‑checking organizations cite that birth information when discussing his citizenship status; however, the materials provided here are secondary‑source reproductions of that basic fact and do not include the original vital‑records document in the snippets reviewed, so absolute proof from a primary birth certificate is not shown in the supplied reporting [1] [3] [11] [2].
