Melania Trump, who will be first lady again, said that her son Barron Trump played a significant role in getting her husband, President-elect Donald Trump, back into the White House.
“He is a grown young man,” she said in an interview with Fox News on Friday. “I’m very proud of him, about his knowledge, even about politics and giving advice to his father. He brought in so many young people. He knows his generation.”
“Because nowadays, the younger generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore. They are all on the tablets. They’re on the phones and all of these podcasts and streamers,” she said.
“He was very vocal, and he gave advice to his father. And it was incredible how he brought in success because he knew exactly who his father needed to contact and to talk to,” the former and next first lady said.
Barron is said to have advised his dad to go on podcasts like “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the Adin Ross stream on Kick, “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” and the “PBD Podcast” which is hosted by businessman Patrick Bet-David.
She also spoke about how her 18-year-old son is doing in his freshman year at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
“I don’t think it’s possible for him to be a normal student,” she said. “His experience at college, it’s very different than any other kid, and I’m very proud [with] how he’s handling it. He’s very strong, and he knows that he’s in a different position than other children.”
“He does like it,” she said.
The wife of the president-elect shared the advice that she has given her son about his future.
“Make your dreams come true. This is your road. This is your life. And make sure that you listen to yourself, your likes and dislikes,” she said.
