Melania Trump recently shared that her son, Barron Trump, played a significant role in advising his father, President-elect Donald Trump, during the 2024 presidential campaign. She described Barron as “very vocal” in helping his father connect with younger audiences, offering insights into modern platforms and communication strategies.
According to Melania, Barron encouraged his father to engage with streamers and podcasters to reach a younger demographic, a move she credits with helping to attract more young voters. “He’s a grown young man, and I’m very proud of his knowledge, even when it comes to politics. He gave his father advice that brought in so many young people,” she said during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning. “He understands his generation—young people today aren’t watching traditional TV anymore. They’re on tablets, phones, podcasts, and watching streamers.”
Melania went on to praise Barron’s intuition, explaining that his suggestions were instrumental in guiding his father toward success. “He was very vocal and gave advice to his father that was incredible. He knew exactly who his father needed to connect with and speak to,” she added.
President Trump followed some of Barron’s advice while on the campaign trail, including sitting down with popular podcasters like Joe Rogan for a three-hour interview. Rogan later endorsed Trump after the appearance, further boosting his outreach efforts to younger audiences.
Back in May, Trump himself acknowledged the trust he places in his youngest son’s instincts. “He’s seen it. He doesn’t have to hear much. He’s a smart one. He’s a great guy,” Trump said.
Barron’s role in the campaign underscores his unique understanding of his generation and highlights how his input helped shape his father’s strategy to connect with younger voters.
