Barron Trump has mostly stayed out of the public spotlight since his father was first elected President in 2016, largely because he was still in high school.
But that changed in March with his 18th birthday.
And Democrats just realized Barron Trump could be the secret weapon that puts his father back in the White House.
Former President Donald Trump’s son, Barron, is the youngest of his five children and is his only child with his wife, Melania.
Unlike his other children – Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany – the public hasn’t seen or heard much of anything from Barron over the years.
Since Barron was only ten years old when his father first entered the White House, Melania has made it a point to keep him out of the public spotlight as much as possible.
But the youngest Trump turned 18 in March and is expected to start college in the next few weeks.
And now that he is 18, Barron has been taking a more visible role in his father’s campaign.
Last month, the six-foot-nine-inch tall Barron attended one of his father’s rallies in Doral, Florida, where he received a standing ovation from the audience as his father gushed over how proud he was of him. But Barron recently took the lead in helping influence Gen Z voters to support his father in November.
Democrats have historically held the advantage over Republicans when it comes to the youth vote.
Gen Z voters get their news and information from their favorite social media influencers.
In recent years, Barron has developed a close friendship with 17-year-old conservative influencer Bo Loudon.
And Barron recently teamed up with his best friend to create a coalition of influencers who support his father’s campaign.
“Donald Trump has a secret weapon in his bid to reach Gen Z voters – his youngest son Barron, 18, and the teen’s influencer best friend Bo Loudon, 17,” MSN reported. “The tech-savvy teens are busily briefing the 78-year-old former President behind the scenes on the new landscape of streamers and YouTube stars with millions of followers.”
“They are now acting as a de-facto social media outreach team, wooing online stars who older aides might have never heard of to the Trump cause,” the report added.
Last week, Donald Trump sat down for a 90-minute interview with popular 23-year-old Kick streamer Adin Ross, who routinely draws hundreds of thousands of viewers to his live-stream broadcasts.
Over 500,000 viewers tuned in live for Trump’s interview with Ross, making it the streamer’s biggest live broadcast to date, and has since garnered more than 100 million total views across social media – which doesn’t even include the number of views racked up by clips.
The interview was a huge success, and it was Barron and Loudon who made it happen.
According to campaign insiders, “Trump rates the boys and sees their input as an asset.”
“He has no issues turning to them for advice on a subject that many of his middle-aged campaign aides wouldn’t have much of a clue about,” the insider added.
But Barron and Loudon are just getting started.
They’re also looking to connect their father with popular influencers like Jake Paul, George Janko, and Patrick Bet-David.
While he’s largely taken a backseat to his older siblings in his father’s past campaigns, Barron Trump appears to be ready to do whatever he can to help put his father back in the Oval Office.
