President Donald Trump made a surprising prediction about the future career of his youngest son Barron.
The president comments on what the future may hold for Barron Trump as he turns 19 years old.
Some have wondered if Barron might follow his father into politics one day.
However, President Trump said his son has a knack for “technology” that might take him in a different direction.
The president’s youngest son is in his freshman year of college at NYU’s Stern School of Business.
At the school, Barron Trump is kept under close watch by the Secret Service.
Barron’s intensely private personal life has only fueled public interest in his future aspirations.
Interviewer Laura Ingraham asked Trump where he thinks his youngest child’s talents are – politics or business?
“Maybe technology,” Trump responded.
He continued by lauding his son’s “unbelievable aptitude” with computers.
“He can look at a computer. I try I turn it off,” Trump continued.
“As I turn it off I turn off his laptop.
“I said, ‘oh good,’ and I go back.
“Five minutes later, he’s got his laptop.
“I say, ‘How did you do that?’
“‘None of your business, Dad,'” Trump said his son replied.
“No. He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology,” Trump continued.
Trump has frequently praised his son’s intelligence.
He even credited him with providing valuable political advice during his election run.
In particular, Barron has been widely praised for giving his father the idea of going on podcasts, which helped Trump win over young voters in the fall.
And according to a new book, Barron hasn’t been afraid to give his father constructive criticism.
Ahead of Trump’s only debate with Joe Biden in 2024, Barron urged his father to reel it in.
Barron gave the advice after his father faced criticism for his aggressive demeanor during a previous debate in 2020.
Trump was more restrained during his clash with Biden in June.
The debate proved to be a turning point in Biden’s political career as his cognitive decline was exposed in front of the world.
In the book “Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power,” author Alex Isenstadt writes:
“Barron, now a teenager, told him [Trump] he flapped his gums too much last time and needed to let Biden do more of the talking.”
At a rally in North Carolina last year, Trump said his “wise” son encouraged him to “take it easy.”
“Dad: take it easy, now. You just take it easy Dad, alright? You don’t have to go too much here,” Barron told his dad.
“He gives me good – he’s very wise,” Trump said.
