Barron Trump’s voice was heard for the first time since he was a toddler in a rare video back in December.
His mum, Melania, kept the now 18-year-old well out of the spotlight during his childhood as he focused on his studies. And as anyone who also spends too much on the internet will know, one of the only bits of his life we’ve seen is the viral, ‘I like my suitcase’ clip.
But we’ve seen more of Barron recently, especially on Inauguration Day (20 December) when he had a mysterious exchange with Joe Biden.
He was also present on election day, when he was filmed alongside his dad Donald, towering over him at six feet and seven inches in height.
In the video from December, he introduces himself to UFC founder, Dana White, marking the first time his voice was heard after all these years.
As those who remember that suitcase video and the ‘I have to go to school now?’ clip will know, the young Barron spoke with more of an eastern European accent.
This will, of course, have been picked up from his mum as Melania was born in Slovenia.
But as he has grown older, it seems he has adopted more of a ‘regular’ American accent.
First chatting to a woman off-camera, he says in the clip: “Hello, how are you? It’s very nice to see you.”
Donald then goes on to speak fondly of his youngest son to White as he explains how much his supporters love him.
Trump adds: “I gave him a shout-out last night, the place went crazy: Bar-ron, Bar-ron.”
Barron then says to White: “Hello. How are you? It’s very nice to finally meet you.”
Who responds: “You too, buddy.”
And then, the now US President can be heard joking: “Can we make him into a fighter.”
While we couldn’t hear his voice again on Monday, Barron was seen having a mysterious exchange with former President Biden.
Viewers were baffled by it as they decided whatever the teen had said had ‘wiped the smirk right off his face’.
Some speculated Barron uttered the words ‘you’re done’ to the 82-year-old, but a lip reader has since come up with another explanation for what could’ve occurred during the exchange.
Offering an explanation for what transpired between the pair, expert witness forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman told LADbible he believes Biden said: “It’s good to see you man,” to which Barron responded with a slightly bizarre, ‘Exactly’.
Responding ‘exactly’ to someone asking how you’re doing would be a pretty strange choice of words, which could in turn explain why Biden looked so confused just moments after. Same, Biden, same.
