Why does Barron Trump use Xbox to chat with his friends?
As per another source, he avoids sharing his phone number with others for security reasons because there is a high chance that his number could be exposed to the public.
One of the main reasons behind not sharing his phone number with anyone could be that it can create more trouble than it's worth for him, the source went on to quote in the report.
Giving further information, the source said if people got his number, they would give it to others, and then a million people would be calling him non-stop. Due to this, he will have to change the number constantly, and it will become 'a merry-go-round.'
