A new video posted online offers an extremely rare clip of Barron Trump’s speech – as his powerful father jokes about putting him in the Ultimate Fighting cage.
The clip, posted on the Johnny MAGA account on The sound of Barron’s recorded voice is so scarce that clips more than a decade old have recently circulated.
The video features UFC CEO Dana White, who appeared with Trump on election night and thanked a series of podcasters, including Joe Rogan.
The president’s son and his wife Melania Trump take on the role of his soon-to-be victorious father’s polite companion, wearing a striped tie and American flag pin as he makes introductions.
‘Hello. How are you? Very nice to see you,” he says to someone who is not in the photo.
Then Barron’s father introduced him to White, an old friend who presented him at a championship fight at Madison Square Garden two weeks ago, and who spoke at his election night victory party and thanked the “mighty” Joe Rogan.
Rogan gave Trump an extensive interview and endorsed him in the final days of the campaign.

Trump, who regularly speaks admirably about his son but reveals few personal details, then spoke about the reaction Barron received from the crowd, in a possible reference to a rally.
“I yelled at him last night, the whole thing went crazy: Ba-ron Ba-ron,” Trump says, gushing over his son.
He then joked to White, “Can we make him a fighter?” – drawing laughter from a crowd.
Barron, 18 years old and 6 feet tall, has the build of a basketball player rather than a professional wrestler, and Trump frequently comments on his son’s height.
Despite his stature, football is the student’s favorite sport at New York University.
Ironically, given his comment about preparing his son for a mixed martial arts fight in a cage, Trump has said in the past that he would encourage his son to play football, where concussions continue to make headlines.

It is “a dangerous sport,” Trump said. ‘If he wanted to? Yes. Would I send him that way? No, I wouldn’t do that.” he said, PBS News Hour reported.
The clip surfaced as Trump was holed up in his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, broadcasting a series of proposed Cabinet nominations, including another with a sports angle.
(He singled out former Sen. KellyLoeffler, who sold her stake in a WNBA team after clashing with its players over Black Lives Matter and is now Trump’s pick to head the Small Business Administration).
Even a brief clip of Barron speaking in public is a rarity. His parents protected him from media attention before he turned 18.
He then took on an increasingly prominent role, steering his father toward podcast interviews and, in July, captured on video riding in a golf cart with his father as he dunked on President Biden after their debate.
‘He quits the race. I took 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 that as a six-year-old he spoke English with an accent.
