Rare photo of Barron Trump bearing a striking resemblance to a young Donald goes viral

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Barron Trump just can't help dominating the news cycle.

This time, the youngest Trump is raising eyebrows with his looks that bear a striking resemblance to his father Donald Trump in his younger days.

Donald Trump and son Barron bear striking resemblance

Recently, an old photo of a young Donald Trump made the rounds on social media. The picture ended up sparking a frenzy when someone juxtaposed it with a current picture of his son Barron Trump.

It was a jaw-dropping realization: the two are practically twins in the mash-up.

From the sharp jawline to the mouth and chin, the similarities between a young Donald Trump and his 18-year-old son Barron are impossible to ignore. It’s almost as if time decided to hit rewind and replay the Trump genes in high definition.

The internet, of course, couldn’t help but chime in after the photo collage went viral on social media. "Like father like son," one posted on X.

"Ditto," another remarked. "The genes are strong," a third user chimed in.

"I told hubby this yesterday! Almost identical," read a comment. 

"They have 'King' looks. And yes he's definitely his son," someone else offered.

"It’s almost like they are related," another quipped.

While Barron’s looks are currently stealing the show, let’s not forget the time his voice turned heads online. During election day, Barron joined his dad in meeting UFC boss Dana White. For many, it was the first time hearing him speak since he was a toddler.

In the video, Barron greeted White politely. “Hello. How are you? Very nice to meet you," he said. Not missing a beat, Donald Trump jokingly turned to White and asked, “Can we make him into a fighter?” The room erupted in laughter as Trump proudly added, “I gave him a shout-out last night, the place went crazy: Ba-ron, Ba-ron!”

The elder Trump — now 78 and president-elect once again — was in awe of his son’s rising popularity among supporters, noting that Barron’s rare appearances on the campaign trail have made him somewhat of a fan favorite.

Barron Trump behind the scenes

Standing at an imposing 6 feet 9 inches, Barron Trump is far from your typical 18-year-old. While his half-siblings—Donald Jr, Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany—have taken on more visible political roles, Barron has opted for a behind-the-scenes approach.

For this election, Barron played a rather essential role in heading his father's social media campaigns. His focus was connecting with Gen Z voters. Reports say it was he who convinced his dad to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast. The result was a major success, with the podcast gaining over 50 million views.

This year was particularly special for Barron as he cast his first-ever vote, proudly supporting his father. 

Barron’s public appearances are few and far between, but when he does show up he's always the main attraction. Ahead of Thanksgiving, he was spotted at Mar-a-Lago having dinner with his parents Donald and Melania, and none other than Elon Musk.

Currently, Barron is pursuing his graduation at NYU’s Stern School of Business. However, as Melania Trump recently pointed out, his life as a student is far from normal. She candidly admitted that Barron’s interest in politics and his unique exposure to the election made it impossible for him to blend in like any other college kid.
