At the same time, the pool noted that a group of children arrived earlier by bus and that perhaps he may have been with them.
However, this did not stop the US news media and Twitterati from wild speculation about the whereabouts of the incoming youngest resident of the White House.
As per Trump, Barron would come to the White House in a few months after completing his school year in New York. Till then he and Melania would be living in New York.

"10-year-old Barron was notably missing from inauguration festivities," the daily said.
Social media was also abuzz with similar questions.
"Where is Barron Trump? Donald Trump's son missing from pre-inauguration events," said one Sarah Valerio on Twitter.
