President Trump praised his youngest son Barron as a “smart guy” who is technologically savvy while touting their “very good” relationship the night before the 6-foot-7 scion celebrates his 19th birthday.
Trump, 78, told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham Wednesday night that his teen son has a natural ability when it comes to technology and is fascinated by what the New York University freshman can do with a computer.
“He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology,” the commander in chief said when asked if the first son had more of a knack for politics or business.
“Barron is a very smart guy.”
The president also applauded the intellect of his other four children – Eric, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Tiffany – while pressing that he considers himself lucky to have five hard-working kids who were all admitted to elite colleges and love their country.
“I’m lucky. Look, you have to be a little bit lucky too,” Trump said.
“They are very smart and they’re good kids. And they work hard, and they love our country and they’re proud of their father. And we have a very good relationship,” the president added.
Barron, whose birthday is on Thursday, has distinguished himself as a standout star of the Trump family after helping his father reach voters in the coveted under-30 demographic by advising him on which popular podcasts to appear on during the 2024 presidential campaign.
He is currently enrolled in the Stern School of Business after graduating from Florida’s elite Oxbridge Academy last year – and aims to follow in his mogul father’s footsteps by launching a luxury real estate venture with two business partners.
The presidential scion incorporated Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. last July in Wyoming, and is reportedly set to relaunch the business in spring 2025 with Mar-a-Lago as its principal address, records obtained by The Post show.
The company will focus on high-end real estate projects, including golf courses and properties in Utah, Arizona and Idaho.
