Earlier in the year, when Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second presidential term, his son Barron Trump went viral over a moment with outgoing President Joe Biden.
Footage from that moment showed Barron firmly shaking Biden’s hand as he approached him and exchanging a few words that those nearby likely didn’t hear.
Subsequently, netizens began speculating about what Barron might have said to Biden, with some even suggesting it could have been something unpleasant.
Those words, which Barron whispered to the former president, have now been revealed by his brother Eric Trump, and it turns out they weren’t anything damning.

The revelation comes weeks after rumors surfaced about Barron shutting down part of Trump Tower for a romantic date.
Reports circulating at the time claimed that the 19-year-old made the over-the-top gesture with both his safety and his date’s safety in mind.
While no images of the individual involved made their way online, a schoolmate of Barron once described him as quite the “ladies’ man.”
“He’s a ladies’ man for sure. He’s really popular with the ladies. He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive,” said the source about Barron, who is a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
“He’s tall and awkward, but he was the thing, the guy. He had a lot of girls running after him,” another insider remarked.

The following month, rumors began circulating that Barron was dating an Argentine dancer who was far above his age.
It was alleged that the individual was a male named “Carlos,” and images said to depict him spread across the internet.
Although there was no official response from Barron or his family, a source close to the Trumps stated that the rumors were false.
“This is total nonsense,” the source told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop. “Barron is not dating anyone. He’s focused on school and staying out of the spotlight.
A fact-checking website called Snopes also revealed that they spoke with the individual depicted in the images and that he denied the rumors.

“This rumor is false and people [are using] my photos without permission, claiming I am from Argentina and 32 years old,” the individual allegedly remarked.

Amid continued speculation about his dating life, Barron received high praise from his father during a November 2025 interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.
The president talked about which of his five children he would rank as the best in terms of attention to detail.
Among the options, all of whom are older than Barron, Trump singled out the 19-year-old.
“Barron’s going to be tremendous at that,” the billionaire mogul noted. “He’s very meticulous.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Ingraham asked Trump whether he believed the growing chatter that Barron might one day follow in his father’s footsteps and become president himself.
“A lot of people think he should be the next Trump president … a lot of people are wondering which child,” the journalist said.
Responding to the question, Trump noted that any of his children could follow that path, saying, “You know, in a certain way, they all could.”
