Former President Donald Trump's youngest son Barron Trump made a rare appearance Tuesday night at his father's rally in Florida, receiving a standing ovation from the ecstatic crowd. Trump took a moment during his rally to introduce his son, who he said had never attended one of his political rallies before.
“A very young man who just turned 18, look at this!” Trump said as he pointed to his son, who was sitting with his siblings behind him. The crowd cheered at the sight of Barron as he stood up and waved, giving them a double fist. “That's my guy,” Trump said before joking, “He might be more popular than his brothers Don and Eric; We need to talk about that.”

Barron, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall and taller than his father, impressed his father with his intelligence and good demeanor. Trump said his son got into all the colleges he wanted and had made his choice. “He's a really good guy,” Trump said as the crowd cheered loudly.
Barron has largely stayed out of the political spotlight, but recently made headlines after appearing in a leaked video criticizing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the days after the June 27 debate. He was also asked to be a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention in May, but declined the request.

Trump praised his son for handling the media and the press, which he said have kept him under scrutiny since he was young. Trump also talked about the transition Barron was going through, saying, “He had such a nice, easy life, now he's changed a little bit.”
