WASHINGTON, DC: While the inauguration was all about President Donald Trump, one could not help but wonder whether his youngest son Barron Trump was the true "rock star" of the inaugural parade event.

Throughout his presidential campaign, the 78-year-old Republican leader has been vocal about Barron’s contributions to his political win during the 2024 election. 



 

While speaking to a crowd of 40,000 supporters at the Capital One Arena on Monday, January 20, the POTUS gave a shout-out to his youngest son, Barron, whom he shares with his wife, Melania Trump.

During his speech, Donald Trump reflected on Barron Trump’s contribution to his election win, including his notable suggestions that helped in gaining the youth vote by encouraging him to appear on podcasts like 'The Joe Rogan Experience' and 'This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von', as per The Gateway Pundit.

In his shout-out, the MAGA spearhead said, "Then I have a very tall son named Barron. Has anyone ever heard of him?"

Amid loud applause and cheer, he continued, "He knew the youth vote… And he was saying, 'Dad, you got to go out and do this [podcast] or that one.'"

Trump explained, "He understood the market," as the crowd continued to cheer for the NYU freshman.

While Trump’s shout-out for his son was already epic in proportion, it was Barron’s reaction that caught the Internet’s attention. 

Instead of sticking to his trademark reserved demeanor, the 18-year-old embraced the adulation as he looked animated. As his proud father looked on, Barron showed a thumbs up to the crowd before waving and cupping his ear, presumably asking for more applause.
