Donald Trump addresses possibility of Barron Trump entering politics in the most Trumpian way

The president gave a very on-brand answer.

Donald Trump left the door open to his youngest son, Barron Trump, entering politics.

But the president sidestepped making a direct prediction and instead made a boast.

In an interview with “Full Measure” host Sharyl Attkisson, shared online Sunday, the president was asked: “Do you see your son Barron going into politics someday?”

“Well, maybe, he’s certainly a popular guy,” replied Trump.

Then he hyped up other family members, and by extension himself, when he added: “But I have a lot of members of my family that are very popular, you know?”

The president then concluded: “I have good kids, I have very good kids.”

Barron Trump turned 20 in March. He is currently studying business at New York University’s Washington, D.C., campus.

He has largely stayed out of the political limelight but has reportedly taken a more prominent behind-the-scenes role in recent years, including advising his father on which “macho bro” podcasts to appear on in the run-up to the 2024 election in a bid to boost his popularity with young men.

Two of Barron’s older siblings, Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr., have previously been floated for political roles.
