Donald Trump divulged rare, highly personal information about his son Barron after a podcast host asked him about his son’s love life.
Trump, who routinely recites only a few anodyne facts when asked about his 18-year-old son with former first lady Melania Trump, answered the question in an appearance on the PBD Podcast with interviewer Patrick Bet-David.
‘Is he good with the ladies at NYU school? Has it arrived yet? the interviewer asked.
Instead of dodging it, Trump gave a direct response.
“No, I’m not sure… I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet,” Trump revealed. ‘I don’t think so. From time to time…’ he said, before finishing the thought in a quick conversation.
“He’s a good-looking guy,” Trump added of his towering 6-foot-9 son.
The exchange came after Bet-David, 45, described her own previous visit to Mar-a-Lago in March, around Barron’s 18th birthday.
On the market: Donald Trump during a podcast interview revealed a key detail of his son Barron’s dating status
“I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet,” former President Donald Trump said of his son, Barron.
He described admiring her social fluidity.
“He had just turned 18 and I was watching him talk to Kobe and all those other kids sitting at the table. And I was like, very interesting,” he said.
He then revealed what Barron’s mother calls her son, in yet another revelation from the chat, in a safe political space where MAGA members Kari Lake and Sebastian Gorka appeared and signed a space in the background.
“And I know you were… Melania, I think she called him ‘Little Donald.’ “I think, if I’m not mistaken, she gave him that nickname.”
Trump neither confirmed nor denied the claim, but instead responded with a joke.
“He’s not so small because he’s a pretty tall guy,” Trump joked.
Interviewer Patrick Bet-David asked Trump if his son Barron was “good with the ladies.”
Trump and Melania went out of their way to protect Barron from the public while he was in elementary school during Trump’s term. He has begun to stand out more since he turned 18, although he did not appear at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
Bet-David mentioned an old Trump quote about his son when he was just 10 months old. “He’s strong, smart, tough, ruthless, violent – all the ingredients you need to be a businessman,” is how Trump put it at the time.
Trump responded by talking about his son’s height and intellect, before the host changed the topic to dating.
‘He is very intelligent. He’s a good student and all that. He goes to a great school and does very well. And he’s a very nice guy. You see that.’
“He doesn’t mind being alone, but he’s someone who gets along well with people,” Trump said.
Bet-David, who spent some time with Barron, said, “He’s got a swagger.” He’s a good troller. It’s funny. It’s ingenious.
This is just the latest time Trump has revealed personal information about his family this election season. Days ago, he dropped a baby bombshell on a Detroit audience, revealing that his daughter Tiffany Trump is pregnant.
Trump’s comments come after a TikToker claimed she went to private school with Barron and that he was her first boyfriend.
Questions about the family emerged more than an hour after an interview in which Trump attacked Kamala Harris and Barack Obama and once again attempted to raise questions about his rival’s racial identity.
