On the eve of his youngest son Barron’s 19th birthday, former President Donald Trump shared high praise for him, calling him a “smart guy” with an impressive talent for technology.
Speaking in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump, 78, expressed his admiration for Barron’s natural ability with computers, noting how fascinated he is by his son’s technological skills.
“He has an unbelievable aptitude in technology,” Trump said when asked whether Barron has a stronger inclination toward politics or business. “Barron is a very smart guy.”
While discussing his children, Trump also highlighted the intelligence and work ethic of his four older children—Eric, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Tiffany. He emphasized how fortunate he feels to have five children who have all attended elite universities, worked hard, and shown deep love for their country.
“I’m lucky. Look, you have to be a little bit lucky too,” he said. “They are very smart, they work hard, and they love our country. They’re proud of their father, and we have a very good relationship.”
Barron, who celebrates his birthday on Thursday, has emerged as a key figure within the Trump family, particularly in the 2024 presidential campaign. He reportedly played a role in helping his father connect with younger voters by advising him on popular podcasts to appear on.
Currently enrolled at NYU’s Stern School of Business, Barron previously graduated from Florida’s prestigious Oxbridge Academy. He has ambitions to follow in his father’s footsteps, with plans to launch a luxury real estate venture alongside two business partners.
As Barron steps into adulthood, his growing influence within the Trump family and his future business endeavors continue to capture public attention.
