President Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron is being credited as the “secret weapon” who made his father “cool” in the eyes of young Americans.
Trump didn’t secure his historic return to Washington D.C. by simply mobilizing his supporters.
He also won over waves of new supporters from multiple traditionally Democrat-voting demographics, such as young Americans and minority voters.
Trump surged in popularity among young voters who see Trump as authentic and “cool” – a feat that most politicians can only dream of.
Many are crediting his low-key son Barron as the “secret weapon” to the president-elect’s success.
Barron has long been kept out of the political spotlight.
His father first entered the White House when Barron was just a child.
Like his mother Melania, he is seen as an enigmatic and silent figure, creating intrigue about his private life and aspirations.
As Barron continues to maintain a low profile, he has been credited with helping to make his father “cool” among young voters who put him over the top in the election.
The college freshman is studying business at New York University.
He is commuting to class from his family’s Trump Tower residence.
“It’s Barron’s mystique that does it,” one social media user wrote of his appeal.
Another added: “Barron is his dad’s secret weapon.
“He helped him win the votes.”
In particular, Barron has been praised for connecting his 78-year-old father with popular “bro” podcasters like Joe Rogan.
Rogan hosts the largest podcast in the world with an audience of mostly younger males.
A source reportedly told the Irish Star:
“Recognizing the growing influence of online media on younger voters, Barron recommended that his dad embrace new forms of communication, that his dad went on popular podcasts and shows that would resonate with Gen Z and millennial audiences.”
The mounting public interest in Barron comes as his father’s approval ratings have surged.
Many are now labeling President Trump “cool” on social media.
His famous “Trump dance” is widely adopted in popular culture.
The pro-Trump culture shift has also impacted Barron’s popularity.
TikTok remixes featuring a young Barron speaking in his mother’s Slovenian accent have been taking the Internet by storm.
Barron’s sister-in-law Lara Trump, the wife of his half-brother Eric, called the teen a significant influence on his father during a recent interview.
“He’s so cool. That’s like the one word I’d use for Barron,” she said.
“He’s very cool. He’s like the sleeper a little bit.
“He’s kind of stayed out of the spotlight, probably intentionally.”
During the campaign, Barron would offer his own ideas on how his father could get votes, Lara said.
She continued by piling praise on the young, reserved man – who bears a striking resemblance to his father.
“He’s always throwing ideas out there,” Lara said.
“We’ve got to give Barron some serious credit.”
“He’s his father’s son, there’s no doubt about it, and he’s going to do really incredible things.”
