Ever since Donald Trump took office for his second presidential term, all eyes have been on Barron Trump, his son.
The young Trump has been in the spotlight for various reasons – from an inauguration seating mishap to heartwarming stories behind his ever-present black backpack.
But now a new hypothesis has surfaced on TikTok – Barron is aiming to take up the presidential mantle himself one day. A body language expert on the platform identified three “subtle signs”, suggesting he’s poised to emulate his father’s success.
In one viral video, a TikToker observed: “During Donald Trump’s inauguration Barron Trump caught attention with a more confident demeanour and a determined gaze.
“His gestures in particular have sparked debate. Behavioural experts point out that Barron’s gesture of touching his fingers upward demonstrated a strong sense of confidence and dominance – traits often associated with powerful individuals who disregard external opinions.”
He added: “This suggests that Barron’s humble and low-key image might have been a carefully crafted facade. Barron has a reputation as a good student and good son, garnered substantial support from young people, contributing significantly to Trump’s victory.
“Trump even mentioned Barron’s role in aiding the family during his speech. About Barron’s gestures and presentation, there are two more intriguing theories.
“The first theory suggests that Barron’s power gesture might have been a response to some of Elon Musk’s controversial actions, implying his approval. This raises the possibility of future business collaborations between Barron and Musk – a prospect that concerns some observers.
“The second theory points to Barron’s attire during the ceremony, which exuded a statesman-like quality. This has led to speculation that he might follow in Trump’s politcal footsteps and emerge as a future leader.”
Although these “hidden signs” are merely speculative, the video has generated significant discussion, garnering thousands of online views and prompting numerous comments.
One viewer stated: “This young man will be President one day.” Another added: “He already is a leader – just has to be crafted a little more.”
A third viewer also replied: “Barron Trump is confident and brilliant.”
Barron, 18, is currently studying at the Stern School of Business at New York University. He has gained more attention since Trump’s second presidential campaign.
