‘Class act’: Barron Trump sets social media ablaze for shaking hands with Biden at dad’s inauguration

President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, made headlines for his mature demeanor and graciousness during his father’s inauguration on Monday. The 18-year-old university freshman was seen shaking hands with former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, a gesture that garnered praise from both conservatives and social media users.

Conservative personality Nick Sotor took to social media to express his admiration for Barron, stating, “Barron Trump just shook hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This kid will be our President one day. Bet on it.” The youngest first son engaged in several inaugural activities, including attending a church service at St. John’s with his family and participating in the inaugural parade.

Social media users speculated about Barron’s future in politics, with some joking that he whispered a witty remark to Biden during their handshake. Barron also received applause from Trump supporters at the inaugural parade, where he was featured on the jumbotron at Capital One Arena. President Trump proudly acknowledged his son’s presence, highlighting Barron’s efforts to rally the youth vote during the campaign.

During the parade, Barron waved to the crowd and even raised his fist in a gesture reminiscent of his father’s triumphant moment after surviving an assassination attempt. Trump commended Barron for his role in securing a significant portion of the youth vote and credited him for encouraging him to engage with younger voters through podcasts.

In his first day in office, Trump wasted no time in signing a multitude of executive orders, delivering speeches, and facing media inquiries. The inauguration festivities were held indoors due to frigid temperatures, with the inauguration taking place at the Capitol Rotunda and the parade at Capital One Arena.

Barron’s poised demeanor and supportive presence at his father’s inauguration have sparked discussions about his potential future in politics. As the youngest Trump child continues to grow and mature, his actions and interactions are closely watched by both supporters and critics alike.
