Social Media Goes Wild After Barron Trump’s Voice Revealed
Barron Trump can be heard speaking on video for the first time since he was a toddler as his father introduces the NYU freshman into the world of Ultimate Fighting.
In the footage, Barron wears a suit on his towering 6-foot 7-inch frame on Election Day as he meets with some of the MAGA faithful and Donald Trump chats with UFC head Dana White.

‘Hello. How are you? Very nice to meet you,’ Barron says politely to the fighting promoter.
The president elect, who had been bragging to White about his youngest son’s popularity with rally crowds, appeared surprised that the two had not met.
‘Oh you’ve never met,’ Trump says before making a bold request.
‘Can we make him into a fighter?’ Trump asks White as the room erupts in laughter.
Unlike Trump’s other children, Barron’s privacy has been heavily guarded. He enrolled in the Stern School of Business earlier this year.
His mother, Melania Trump, has pledged to be a hands-on mother to the student during his father’s second term in the White House.
As Barron plans his future as an adult and a first son, Melania has been determined to keep him out of the spotlight and focused on his studies.
‘Melania will keep her hand on Barron’s future just as much going forward as she has throughout his early and current school years,’ a source told People Magazine earlier this year.
‘He is her world. She is proud of him, and she is the primary decision maker on Barron and his future.’
Trump regularly speaks admirably about his son but reveals few personal details.
In the video clip, posted on X by the account of the forthcoming Art of the Surge documentary, he had acted surprised at the response Barron got from the crowd, in a possible reference to a rally.

‘I gave him a shout out last night, the place went crazy: Ba-ron Ba-ron’ Trump says, gushing about his son.
Despite his frame, New York University student’s favorite sport is reportedly soccer.
Barron is built more like a basketball player than a pro wrestler, and Trump regularly comments on his son’s height.
Ironically given his quip about getting his son ready for a Mixed Martial Arts fight in a cage, Trump in the past has said he would not encourage his son to play football, where concussions continue to make headlines.
It’s ‘a dangerous sport,’ Trump said. ‘If he wanted to? Yes. Would I steer him that way? No, I wouldn’t,” he said, PBS News Hour reported.
The clip surfaced while Trump has been ensconced in his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, while sending out a flurry of proposed cabinet nominations, including another with a sports angle.
He selected former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who sold her stake in a WNBA team after clashing with her players over Black Lives Matter, and is now Trump’s choice to head the Small Business Administration.
Even a brief clip of Barron speaking in public is a rarity. His parents shielded him from media attention before he turned 18.
He then took an increasingly prominent role, steering his father toward podcast interviews and captured on video in July sitting in a golf cart with his father while he dunked on President Biden following their debate.
‘He’s quitting the race. I got him out of the race,’ Trump said prophetically at the time.
Video of Barron speaking is so rare that a clip recently made the rounds recently of him speaking in accented-English as a six-year-old.
