00:00Barron Trump's been famous since he was born, but the 6'9'' scion has lived his life largely
00:06out of the spotlight. Even when his dad was first in office, we barely saw Barron in the
00:10public eye. Now that he's 18 years old, he's taken on a more active role in his father's
00:15political project, with several appearances at his rallies. But Barron has yet to master
00:19his politician's smile. He often comes across as shy and aloof, and catching him cracking
00:25a grin is a rare occurrence. However, when it does happen, Donald's youngest causes a
00:29stir.
00:30In a recent photo shared by British politician Nigel Farage, Barron's towering over the Reform
00:35UK leader. Most surprisingly, the NYU student's flashing his pearly whites in the pic, which
00:41was snapped on Election Day, which explains the big smile.
00:45As Trump claimed victory, Barron took the stage with his parents in West Palm Beach
00:49and flashed a quick smile at the crowd several times, a departure from his normally stoic
00:53demeanor. At nearly 7 feet tall, he cut quite an impressive figure as he gazed at the crowd
00:59confidently, the polar opposite of his 2016 showing as his father celebrated his win over
01:04Hillary Clinton.
01:05While standing next to Donald, Barron looked bored, even swallowing a yawn at one point.
01:10Barron was 10 at the time, and was up in the middle of the night, so it's no surprise he
01:14was so fidgety.
01:15Barron may not have been seen with Donald much on the 2024 campaign trail, but he reportedly
01:20helped him from behind the scenes. As reported by Time, Donald was given names of possible
01:25podcasts he could appear on, and his response was,
01:28"'Have you talked this over with Barron? Call Barron and see what he thinks and let me know.'"
01:32The teen suggested Gen Z content creator Aiden Ross, who was banned from Twitch for the eighth
01:36and final time in 2023, over hateful conduct.
01:40"'By the way, do you like my buddy Felix's shirt?''
01:42"'I love that!'
01:43"'Felix, by the way, Mr. Trump.'"
01:46Following his appearance on Ross' livestream, Donald also went on podcasts hosted by Joe
01:50Rogan,
01:51"'We're rolling. Good to see you, sir. Here we go.'"
01:55and Logan Paul.
01:56"'No way! No way!''
01:59Donald's spokesperson, Jason Miller, told Politico,
02:01"'Barron has been very involved in selecting a number of the podcasts that we should do.
02:05I got to tell you, hats off to the young man. Every single recommendation he's had has turned
02:10out to be absolute ratings gold that's broke the internet.'"
02:13While Barron is currently studying at the Stern School of Business at NYU, he may just
02:17have a future in politics, but he's definitely going to have to learn how to smile a lot
02:22more.
