Barron Trump is proving he may have a way with words - just like his father.
While attending New York University's Stern School of Business, Barron Trump might seem like your average college kid. Yet, at just 18 years old, the son of the new president-elect has been credited with swaying a critical voter demographic in the latest election.
The youngest son of Donald Trump - whom he shares with wife of 19 years Melania - voters have seen less of Barron throughout his father's three presidential campaigns.
This makes a lot of sense given the fact he was just 10 years old when his father first ran for office, meaning he is far younger than Trump's other children - Ivanka, Donald Jr., Tiffany, and Eric - who have been a lot more vocal over the last eight years.
But although the public hasn't heard much from the teenager, his political stance surely sides with the rest of his family, right? Well, according to the Daily Mail, Barron prefers to remain neutral.
Despite frequent inquiries about his political stance, Barron maintains a neutral front, telling peers he supports no party.
And perhaps this serves as an essential armor at a school that witnessed an anti-Trump protest on Wednesday.
Nevertheless, as a fresh voter, Barron's electoral debut was significant - casting his first presidential vote for none other than his father, Donald Trump, as confirmed in a tweet by the teen's mom.
“Voted for the first time – for his dad,” Melania proudly announced on X, capturing the significance of the milestone in her son's life.
This move coincided with a victory speech that saw his towering presence - standing between 6'7" to 6'9" - beside his father.
Despite the familial ties, Barron's political influence stretches beyond mere genetics.
Recognized by some in the GOP as a future leader with the slogan "Barron Trump President 2044" already circulating on eBay, he's not just another presidential progeny. Donald Trump has praised Barron's acute understanding of the young male demographic.
His insight proved invaluable when GOP consultants were scouting for impactful podcast appearances. The answer? Call Barron.
His recommendation to kickstart the campaign trail with an interview on Adin Ross's podcast — a favorite of his and a hub for the internet's edgiest content — was a strategic masterstroke. The interview not only went viral but also solidified Trump's appeal among young male voters, thanks to Ross's enthusiastic endorsement, complete with lavish gifts like a Tesla Cybertruck and a gold Rolex.
Barron's influence extended to orchestrating a series of interviews with popular figures in the "manosphere", a community resonating strongly with young men.
From Theo Von and The Undertaker to Logan Paul and Ben Shapiro, these discussions often deviated from traditional political discourse, touching on everything from sports to personal anecdotes.
Of course, perhaps Donald Trump's greatest move was appearing on one of the biggest podcasts on the planet, The Joe Rogan Experience - with the titular host later endorsing his Republican guest.
These efforts culminated in a significant shift at the polls, with a notable migration of young male voters from the Democrats to Trump—a testament to Barron's behind-the-scenes efficacy. Trump, reflecting on his son's recommendations, told Fox News: "[Barron] tells me about all the 'hot' guys. People I've never heard of. 'Dad, that guy is hot.'"
Meanwhile, as well as proving pivotal behind-the-scenes of his father's campaign, Barron also left people in awe when he took to the stage during his father's victory speech last week in Florida - with people floored by just how tall he had grown compared to previous campaigns.
