Barron Trump, the youngest son of President-elect Donald Trump, has reportedly surprised his New York University friends with a diplomatic response when asked about his political beliefs and who he voted for.
Those close to him at NYU’s Stern School of Business say that when classmates attempt to draw him into political debates, the youngest Trump simply replies that he “doesn’t support any party.”
His diplomatic stance has reportedly gained the respect of several Republican officials, with some already suggesting that the younger Trump might consider running for the presidency in 2044 to continue his father’s legacy.
Barron who has an impressive height of six feet and seven inches, has been credited as a significant factor in his father’s ability to attract votes from young male supporters.
Campaign officials have noted that Barron, currently enrolled as a first-year student at NYU and is responsible for connecting his 78-year-old father with prominent podcast hosts.
The transition from conventional campaign tactics and television appearances to podcast-centred outreach has proven effective in reaching younger demographic groups.
In the lead-up to the election, Trump increased his presence on popular podcasts, including an appearance on Spotify’s most-followed show, hosted by Joe Rogan.
He also joined streamer Adin Ross, comedian Andrew Schulz on his ‘Flagrant’ podcast, and businessman Patrick Bet-David on the ‘PBD Podcast’, Mirror Now reported.
“Barron has been very involved in recommending a number of the podcasts that we should do,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller told the Politico “Playbook Deep Dive” podcast.
“I got to tell you, hats off to the young man. Every single recommendation he’s had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that’s broken the internet,” he said.
“When you look at the impact of podcasts or YouTube shows — non-traditional media part of the thing is you’re meeting voters where they’re at,” Miller added.
Although Barron claims political neutrality, his discretion may be strategic, subtly concealing his true stance, however on election day his mother, Melania, posted a photo on social media of the 18-year-old at a polling station, captioning it: “Voted for the first time – for his dad.”
