Former President Donald Trump’s election victory will return him to the White House in 2024. Amidst all this, attention has also turned to his youngest son, Barron.
His mother, Melania, tweeted a photo of their very tall, 18-year-old son on X on November 5, Election Day 2024. She wrote, “Voted for the first time — for his dad! #18yearsold #presidentialelection #proud” (sic). Barron was just 10 years old when his father was elected President for his first term. Now a tall and handsome young man, he has piqued the world’s interest.
The Gen Z son of Donald Trump has been capturing worldwide interest this election season, especially as he recently joined New York University's Stern School of Business. His older brother Eric has labelled Barron “the most watched bachelor in the world.”
Such is his popularity that "Barron Trump" merchandise has started appearing on websites like Amazon and Etsy. At 18, he even has “Presidential Merchandise” being created for him. The required age for a U.S. president is 35, which Barron will only reach in 2041. This means he would be eligible to run for president in 2044. T-shirts bearing Barron's face and the years “2044” and “2048” are already circulating.
Barron Trump pins, coffee mugs, and buttons with slogans like “Barron Trump For President 2044” are being sold on eBay.
The Barron Trump Effect
Barron’s style have always managed to send the internet into a frenzy from time to time. In the year 2020, Barron wore a red graphic T-shirt with “On your mark, tiger shark” printed on it. The shirt went viral and quickly sold out on the retailer’s website.
Another T-shirt from J.Crew that he wore back in the year 2017, with "The Expert" on the front, inspired the creation of similar Tees, which were offered on sale by various websites.
Well, while he might not yet be eligible to run for the office of the President, but Barron is turning to be one of the most followed Gen Z.
