Barron Trump, the youngest of former President Trump’s kids, made his first-ever campaign-trail appearance Tuesday.
The 18-year-old was visiting the Doral golf course on his own whirlwind trip attended by Trump supporters that turned out in droves and cheered every time a member of the family walked past them.
“This is a young man. He just turned 18 – Oh, look at this,” the 78-year-old former president said, stopping as the crowd’s cheers intensified.
“A very young man who is now going to college – got into every college he wanted to and he made his choice,” Trump continued. “He’s a very good guy.”
“This is the first time he’s ever done this, Barron … stand up,” Trump said as his teenage son rose up and gave the crowd another fist pump and wave.
“That’s the first time he’s done it. That’s the first time, right? You’re pretty popular. He might be more popular than Don and Eric, we got to talk about that,” the former president said, referencing his other two sons – both of whom addressed the crowd prior to their father’s arrival.
“Welcome to the scene, Barron,” the ex-commander in chief said, before remarking that Barron “had such a nice, easy life – now it’s a little bit changed.”
Barron was recently seen riding in a golf cart with his father as part of a leaked video after the June 27 debate. In the video, Trump can be heard going off on President Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.
At 6-foot-7 inches, Barron is taller than his father and has been mostly out of the political spotlight, but that may change going forward if his father is reelected this fall.
