Washington, DC (USA) – It was the scene at the Capitol in Washington, DC that caused a lot of discussion: on the day of his father’s inauguration as US President, Barron Trump greeted loser Joe Biden and exchanged words with him. Viewers wonder: What is that about? The media employed lip readers, observers speculated on social media. Now, ten months later, Trump’s son, Eric, is spilling the beans about what really happened.

It was a meeting that only lasted in the blink of an eye: Baron Trump Approached Biden, stretched out his hand, and walked straight. Eric Trump has now addressed the issue with conservative journalist Megyn Kelly: “Do you remember the whole controversy when (Barron) approached Biden?” Lip readers claimed at the time that Barron told Biden to “fuck off.” Eric clarified: “One night I called Barron and said, ‘Hey, what did you say?’ And he said (…) something like: ‘Congratulations and good luck!’ or something like that. Something very honorable.”

Compliments from brother Eric

Unlike his brothers, Barron Trump does not speak in public and always appears polite and quiet when appearing. Eric insists: “He’s a good guy” – but admits Barron also has a rough side. “But he was too polite to say so.”

Barron Trump is the youngest of the US President’s five children and the only child of First Lady Melania Trump. After a semester at NYU Stern School of Business in Manhattan, the 19-year-old moved to campus in Washington, D.C. in September

Is he following in his father’s footsteps?

US media have repeatedly speculated about the 19-year-old’s political career. Donald Trump made it clear in a speech in Washington shortly after his victory against Joe Biden: He also had his youngest son to thank for his return to the White House. “He said, ‘Dad, you really have to do this or that.’ We do a lot.”

Melania also praised her son. On the “Fox & Friends” show on the conservative TV channel “Fox News” in June 2024, he said: “I am very proud of him and his knowledge, including in political matters, and that he gives advice to his father.” This allowed him to mobilize many young voters for Trump.
