00:00And he tells me about all the hot guys, people I never heard about, dead, that guy is hot."
00:05Now that Barron Trump is nestling in at the Stern School of Business at NYU,
00:09everybody wants to know his political views. Considering that Barron's current campus has
00:14staged protests against Donald Trump, Barron is understandably being choosy in how he responds.
00:20The Daily Mail spoke to some of Barron's classmates, and according to them,
00:24Barron has been claiming he doesn't support any political party.
00:28Is he just dodging the question? It's hard to say.
00:31It often feels as if Barron's political future has been paved for him.
00:35With Trump supporters already creating merchandise for a future Barron campaign,
00:40and his mother going around sharing a photo of Barron voting for his father,
00:43Barron most likely won't be able to avoid answering political questions for much longer.
00:48Especially with rumors that Barron helped his father behind the scenes on the campaign trail,
00:52it seems incredibly likely that Barron's true political leanings will come out soon.
00:57And as we all know, actions speak louder than words.
01:01Barron can claim he has no political affiliation all he wants,
01:05and that may very well be the truth. But sources close to Trump's campaign have suggested that
01:09Barron was the deciding factor behind all of the podcasts on which Trump appeared leading
01:14up to the election. It was a shrewd strategy that helped the campaign tap into viewers
01:19who probably don't sit down and watch broadcast news on a regular basis.
01:23A social media influencer, Beau Loudon, who says he's Barron's best friend, told the Daily Mail,
01:28"[The strategy is reaching an audience that maybe isn't being recognized,
01:32or an audience that loves Trump and that maybe they're not being acknowledged."
01:36That wasn't the only route Barron pursued to connect Trump with the younger generation.
01:41Behind the scenes, it seems Barron has been filling his father in on cryptocurrencies
01:45and blockchain. Allegedly, Barron is very involved in World Liberty Financial,
01:50the Trump-related cryptocurrency business. With success in both political strategy and business,
01:56it seems Barron might be primed for a position within the Trump administration.
02:00Since Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have stated they will not be returning to politics,
02:05Donald Trump might have to tap a different familial well to help him run his administration.
02:10Is Barron up to bat next?
02:12British politician Nigel Farage recently met Barron and wrote that he found Barron to be a,
02:17quote, "...very bright 18-year-old who played a big part in his father's stunning victory."
02:22Trump has also noted Barron's popularity in his speeches.
02:26"'That Barron is watching, he's the king of the internet.'"
02:30However, that might not be how things play out. Should Donald attempt to pull Barron away from
02:34his studies to join his administration? He'll have to contend with Melania. As a loyal mother,
02:40Melania has often prioritized Barron's safety and privacy, doing her best to keep him out of the
02:45public eye while he was growing up in the White House. And rumor has it Melania will be staying
02:50more low-key this time around.
02:52This morning, multiple sources tell CNN that Melania Trump is unlikely to move back into
02:57the White House full-time in January.
03:00Will Barron follow suit and stick to his schoolwork in New York?
03:03Now that Barron has grown, it will ultimately be his own choice.
03:07For now, it sounds like he's happy to stay on neutral ground when it comes to politics.
