The 18-year-old enigmatic son of Trump has recently drawn the attention of the fans, who are not shying away from manifesting Barron as the future commander-in-chief.

Barron Trump hailed as a future leader

Donald Trump was sworn into office on Monday, January 20, in the presence of his family members, including his youngest son, Barron. 

During the ceremonies, the NYU cut a striking figure as he looked polished in a dark suit and American flag lapel pin. Barron, who boasts an impressive height of 6’7” and towers over others, has several fans hinting that he exudes the grace of a natural leader. 

He was also a part of several talking points of the day, including the time when the youngster shook hands with outing president and vice president Joe Biden and Kamala Harris respectively. Social media users instantly liked his gesture as they praised the teenager for his “respectful” behavior.

With the legal age to contest at the US Presidential election to be 35, several social media fans theorized Barron will be of age by the 2044 and 2048 elections, and may come out as the “future president.”

The fans’ conjectures came amid the Barron’s “rock star” response to his father’s praise during his speech addressed to 40,000 supporters at the Capital One Arena on Monday, January 20. 

During his speech, the MAGA spearhead shared his son’s contribution to his election win including giving him critical political suggestions to win over the young voters. It has previously been reported that Barron encouraged the GOP leader to appear on podcasts like 'The Joe Rogan Experience' and 'This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von', as per The Gateway Pundit.

"Then I have a very tall son named Barron. Has anyone ever heard of him?" asked Trump in his hearty shoutout. 



 

As the crowd broke into loud 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.'"

"He understood the market," Trump explained, as the crowd continued in their loud applause. 

It was, however, Barron’s epic reaction that caught the fans reaction. As the proud father looked on, Barron showed a thumbs up to the crowd before waving and cupping his ear, presumably asking for more applause. 

Social media dubs Barron Trump as the 'next president in 16 years'

Barron Trump grabbed the headlines on his father's inauguration day with a number of jaw-dropping moments, that made the netizens project the youngest progeny of Donald Trump as a presidential candidate in the future. 

One of the social media users hypothesized, "In 17 years, Barron can be our next President Trump."



 

"I think we are watching the making of an amazing future president ❤️❤️❤️🙌," broadly applauded another user at a video of Barron basking in his father's praise and the crowd's adulation.



 

Someone else declared, "He's a future president."



 

"Barron will be taking over Trump in the future," projected another fan of the 18-year-old. 



 

Some of the users even projected for the election two decades henceforth, saying, "2048 Election is right around the corner! How many believe he’s going to one day be standing on the podium taking his own “Oath of Office”?"



 

"I'm usually not in favour of political dynasties but I could make an exception here," said someone else. 



 

Another user penned, "FUTURE PRESIDENT RIGHT THERE. 🙌🏻💯🇺🇸."



 

"Next president in 16 years coming….," chimed in someone else, praising the youngster's poise and grace.



 

Another user noted, "Barron looks like he’s planning his 2044 Presidential campaign."



 

The social media users not only projected Barron as the future president but also highlighted that he is similar to 'The Godfather' character Michael Corleone. As the Al Pacino-starred character in Mario Puzo's novel-based film of the same name took over his father Vito Corleone's dynasty, fans seemingly claimed, "He’s the young Michael Corleone irl."



 

Another user said, "I see Barron sitting near the end of this clip, and I see Michael Corleone!"
