Barron Trump has had his voice heard publically for the first time since he was a toddler – and the Internet has reacted accordingly.

The 18-year-old was caught on camera doing the rounds with his dad, President-elect Donald Trump, on the day of his second electoral victory. The father-son duo were being filmed speaking to UFC head Dana White. 

In the clip, Barron says, “Hello. How are you? Very nice to meet you.”

His father, who will be sworn in as president on 20 January next year, adds, “Can we make him into a fighter?” Upon hearing this request, the room bursts into laughter. 

During his father’s first go at presidential power between 2017 and 2021, Barron was kept out of the spotlight. This was part of a concerted effort from his mother Melania, who sought to keep his childhood private.

What have people been saying after hearing Barron Trump’s voice?

The internet has been making a big to-do about hearing Barron’s voice in the rare footage.

Some thought it was the news story of the day, quipping about how they just needed to tell someone.

“Babe wake up first clip of barron trumps adult voice just dropped,” one person wrote.

Not so squeaky anymore

One person wrote, “For some reason, before I heard Trump’s youngest son Barron speak in that video clip, I thought his speaking voice would sound more charismatic and debonaire for a VERY young man! Oh, well. At least he doesn’t have a squeaky, high-pitched speaking voice. Haha.”

The next Timothée Chalamet?

Some compared his speaking style to that of Timothée Chalamet, with one person saying “first time hearing barron trump talk and he sounds like timothee a little.”

Some were considering their younger selves and their crushes.

One person wrote, “I had the biggest crush on Barron trump and just heard his voice my younger self would be sCREAMING.”

Athlete Barron Trump?

Others took the opportunity of the trending footage to highlight how much of a sportsman he could potentially be.

“Barron Trump could be the next Peter Crouch,” one person posted, referencing the former England and Liverpool icon.

Whatever people think of his vocal cords, we imagine we will see the NYU student more. His father is going to be the leader of the free world again.

Has Barron Trump gone viral before?

He has indeed been the talk of the internet before. Most recently, following Donald’s recent political success, a clip of him as a child went wild on TikTok. More than 20,000 people, including Paris Hilton, used the sound of Barron exclaiming “I like my suitcase”.

The sound came from an old Entertainment Tonight interview the site was doing with his father. 

Much of the luggage praise’s charm came from his Slovenian accent. His mother was born and raised in the Eastern European country before moving to America to pursue modelling. Barron has since lost the accent.
