WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, prefers to be away from the limelight, and nowadays, he is mostly spending his time at New York University as a freshman.

However, in May 2025, several videos claiming that Barron debated Rep Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) on live TV were uploaded on YouTube. But is there any truth to this claim? Let us find out below.

YouTube channel Celebrity Stories posted a video with the title "Barron Trump EXPLODED at Jasmine Crockett – Her Response Left Him BEGGING on Live TV!" on May 22. It has since crossed over 400,000 views on the platform.



 

The narrator of the video said, "When Barron Trump attempted to humiliate Jasmine Crockett on live television, he was trying to prove his significance. But no one was ready for what happened just a few minutes later."

The voice added, "The scene was electric — a high-stakes televised panel discussion on political ethics, broadcast nationwide. Studio lights blazed, cameras rolled, and a live audience of students, pundits, and media insiders leaned in, feeling the palpable tension."

The caption of the video read, "In a shocking turn of events, Barron Trump lost his composure on live television — a moment no one saw coming. Attempting to publicly undermine Jasmine Crockett, he quickly found himself on the receiving end of a powerful rebuttal that left him reeling."

Kick streamer Adin Ross says Barron Trump is 'the coolest guy'

Kick streamer Adin Ross spoke about Barron Trump during his recent appearance on Logan Paul and Mike Majlak's 'Impaulsive' podcast. He described the POTUS' youngest son as "the coolest guy" and said he was "very, very smart."

Ross added that he's a "really good guy," but did not describe the nature of his friendship with Barron. 

"I think he’s genuinely a brilliant and an amazing heart, great soul. Barron is awesome. He’s an amazing human being," the Kick streamer noted.

Moreover, Adin said that Barron was the one who convinced his father to do podcast interviews, suggesting it was a major factor in his win.

"Because I was with Barron and President Trump, [Barron] was like, 'Dad, this is who I've been talking about and  Trump looks at me and says, 'All right, I'll do it. I'll do it,'" said the popular streamer.
