In a resurfaced video from 2007, US President-elect Donald Trump is seen describing his youngest son, Barron Trump, as “violent, vicious, and tough.” The video, which has garnered significant attention on social media, shows Trump holding two-year-old Barron while introducing him to the world.
Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Daily Mail via TikTok, the clip is captioned, “Trump showing baby Barron in 2007.” Standing at a podium, Trump holds baby Barron and says, “That’s Barron. He’s strong, he’s smart, he’s tough, he’s vicious, he’s violent. All of the ingredients you need to be an entrepreneur. And most importantly, hopefully, he is smart because smart is really the ingredient. So, Barron, good luck. You have a long way to go,” as the toddler playfully grabs the microphone.

As the clip continues, Trump attempts to hand baby Barron back to his mother, Melania Trump, but the child firmly holds onto the microphone. “Uh, oh, he won’t give up the mic,” Trump jokes, prompting laughter from the audience. He then kisses Barron and passes him to Melania.
Barron, now 18 years old, is Donald and Melania Trump’s youngest child. Recently, he attracted public attention for towering over his 6’3” father during Trump’s victory speech after winning the US presidential election. Standing at an impressive 6’9”, Barron is the tallest member of the Trump family.
Unlike his older siblings, who actively participate in their father’s political campaigns, Barron has largely stayed out of the public eye. However, he made headlines for joining the New York University’s Stern School of Business.
Despite preferring to remain behind the scenes, Barron played a pivotal role in his father’s presidential campaign. According to Lara Trump, Eric Trump’s wife, Barron suggested innovative ideas to help connect with younger voters. He also made a rare appearance at a Trump rally, showcasing his subtle yet impactful involvement in the campaign.
