President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, was a necessary highlight at his father’s inauguration ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda — it was where he was standing that drew particular attention.
A video circulating online shows the 6-foot, 7-inch Trump scion positioned nearly perfectly behind the podium bearing the presidential seal, appearing stoic and poised in a dark tailored suit complete with an American flag lapel pin.
The clip shows the 18-year-old surveying the crowd, and offering a polite smile and wave to an unseen audience member like a politician in waiting, a marble statue of Ulysses S. Grant in the background adding gravitas to the imagery.
‘He already looks ready,’ one X user said in response to the video.
‘Look at our Future President – Barron is Powerful. He is going places,’ another mused.
Barron, the only child shared by President Trump and Melania, played an instrumental role in his father winning a second White House term, helping the campaign energize the youth vote with strategic media appearances the Harris-Walz campaign failed to replicate.
Rather than letting his father Donald relyi on traditional news outlets, Barron pushed his father to appear on podcasts like ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ ‘Flagrant,’ and ‘The Theo Von Show,’ all of which are highly popular with the under-30 set.
