President Trump recently celebrated his youngest son, Barron, ahead of his 19th birthday, calling him a “smart guy” with a natural talent for technology. In a conversation with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, the president praised Barron’s tech-savvy skills, sharing his admiration for how quickly the teenager adapts to new technological challenges.
“He has an incredible aptitude for technology,” Trump said, when asked whether Barron was more inclined toward politics or business. “Barron is very smart.”
Trump also took the opportunity to express pride in his other children—Eric, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Tiffany—highlighting their intelligence and strong work ethic. He described himself as fortunate to have five children who all share a deep love for their country and have succeeded academically, gaining admission to top-tier universities.
“I’m lucky,” he admitted. “But they’re all very smart, hardworking, and they love our country. They’re good kids, and they’re proud of their father. We have a great relationship.”
Barron, who turns 19 this Thursday, has made a name for himself, especially in his father’s political career. During the 2024 campaign, Barron played a key role in advising his father on which popular podcasts to engage with, helping reach the crucial under-30 voter demographic.
Now a student at New York University’s Stern School of Business, Barron is set on following in his father’s entrepreneurial footsteps. After graduating from Florida’s prestigious Oxbridge Academy, he’s planning a career in luxury real estate. In fact, Barron incorporated Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. in Wyoming last July and intends to relaunch the company in 2025. The venture will focus on high-end real estate developments, including golf courses and properties in states like Utah, Arizona, and Idaho, with Mar-a-Lago serving as its base of operations.
