Former President Donald Trump revealed Sunday that his youngest son is helping him “a little bit” on his strategies in reaching out to Generation Z voters, a coveted voting bloc in the 2024 presidential election.
Barron Trump, the youngest of Trump’s five children and who started college earlier this year, has given his father some advice on who he should do podcast interviews with, including people the former president has “never heard of.” This year, Trump has done podcast interviews with people like social media influencer and WWE wrestling champion Logan Paul and Lex Friedman, likely in an attempt to reach out to voters between the ages of 18 and 29.
“A little bit, I mean, he tells me about all the hot guys, people I’d never heard of, ‘Dad, that guy is hot,’” Trump said in an interview on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “You know, it’s very cute, actually. A little bit. You know, Barron’s a very good student, he’s going to a very good school, always got good marks. He’s also tall, very tall, he’s a tall student.”
The former president also deemed Democratic lawmakers as “the enemy from within” the United States faces when asked about bureaucrats opposing him, contending these enemies are greater than the external threats the nation faces. He specifically called out Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and “the danger he put our country in” with his repeated claims the former president colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
When talking about the conflict between Israel and the Middle East, he warned that the U.S. cannot have “another fool” as its president for the next four years, calling President Joe Biden a “fool” for the U.S.’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. He then argued Biden is smarter than Vice President Kamala Harris and claimed that the U.S. would no longer exist under her leadership.

With less than a month left before the presidential election, Trump confirmed that he will appear on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which he revealed during a conversation on Nelk Boys’s Full Send Podcast. Rogan has not confirmed this. The podcast host said in 2022 that he would never have Trump on his show as he was “not interested in helping him,” though he changed his tune last year, saying that “maybe” the former president could appear.
New polling data for the 2024 presidential election has Trump and Harris neck-and-neck at 48% against a margin of error of 3.1 points. Harris was previously leading Trump by 5% last month.
