Trump credits Barron for shaping campaign with Gen Z outreach advice
Listen to article
Barron Trump, President Donald Trump's youngest son, played a key role in shaping his father's 2024 presidential campaign strategy, particularly in reaching Gen Z voters, according to both Donald and Melania Trump.
In an interview on Fox & Friends, Melania Trump revealed that Barron, an 18-year-old freshman at New York University (NYU), was actively advising his father on digital outreach.
She described him as 'very vocal' about the need for Trump to engage with younger audiences by appearing on popular Gen Z-focused media platforms.
During an interview on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Donald Trump confirmed Barron's influence, acknowledging that his son recommended key media figures and platforms to help him connect with younger voters.
'A little bit, I mean, he tells me about all the hot guys, people I'd never heard of,' Trump remarked. 'Dad, that guy is hot.'
According to reports from The Irish Star, Barron encouraged his father to appear on platforms such as Adin Ross' livestream, the podcast Bussin' With the Boys, and Logan Paul's show.
These appearances were seen as part of a strategic push to attract younger voters—an effort that political analysts suggest helped boost Trump's appeal among the 18-to-29 demographic.
In the final weeks before the election, Trump's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience was widely viewed as pivotal in reshaping voter sentiment, bringing his message directly to millions of younger, independent-leaning listeners.
Barron Trump's Growing Interest in Politics
Barron Trump, born on March 20, 2006, is the only child of Donald and Melania Trump. He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May 2024 before enrolling at NYU.
Despite mainly staying out of the political spotlight during his father's first presidency, Barron has shown increasing interest in politics.
In a recent radio interview, Donald Trump revealed that his youngest son "likes politics " and is intrigued by the field.
Though he maintains a low public profile, Barron has been spotted walking around NYU's campus, where he is said to be well-liked among students.
According to a source quoted by People, 'He's tall and handsome. Many people seem to think he's attractive— even liberal people like him.'
While Barron Trump has yet to comment publicly on his future ambitions, his behind-the-scenes role in the 2024 election suggests that he may continue to be involved in political strategy, possibly carving out his path in the political world in the future.

Van Hunt's proposal to Halle Berry 'still floating', while she defends 'spinning' Mother's Day post
Halle Berry opens up about her relationship with Van Hunt, her thoughts on marriage, and reactions to a controversial Mother's Day post Halle Berry recently discussed her relationship with boyfriend Van Hunt, the couple's views on marriage, and the controversy surrounding her Mother's Day post in an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends. In the candid interview, the Oscar-winning actress revealed that while her relationship with Hunt is thriving, she is taking her time with marriage, despite Hunt's proposal. Berry and Hunt, who have been together since 2020, shared a playful moment when Hunt revealed that he had already proposed to Berry. "I put out the proposal, and it's still on hold," Hunt joked, adding that the proposal was "floating out there" while they wait for Berry's decision. The 58-year-old actress responded with a laugh, explaining that marriage isn't a necessity for them to validate their love. She emphasized that both she and Hunt had been married before, and after multiple marriages, they are in no rush. 'We don't feel like we have to get married to validate our love in any way,' Berry said, adding that when they do marry, it will be because they genuinely want to, not out of obligation. Regarding when they might tie the knot, Berry assured fans, 'I think we will get married just because, out of the people I've been married to, this is the person I should have married.' She hinted that it would happen 'soon,' but reiterated that their bond does not need a wedding certificate to be strong. Berry also addressed the backlash she received following her sultry Mother's Day post, in which she promoted her Let's Spin intimacy gel alongside Hunt. The video, caused a stir with some commenters questioning why Berry wasn't spending the day with her children. 'It's not 'Kid's Day,'' she responded, emphasizing that she had every right to enjoy her day how she saw fit. Berry, who has two children from previous relationships, said she believes it's important for mothers to take time for themselves and have their own celebrations. Though critics were vocal about the post, Berry remained firm in her stance, saying, 'If I want to be in bed and spin with my man, then that's what I'm going to do.' While Berry's relationship with Hunt is a key part of her life, she has consistently emphasized that her children and family are her top priorities. However, she also revealed how fulfilled she feels in her current romantic relationship, saying that it makes her a better mother. 'I feel happy in my life romantically, as a mother, as an artist,' Berry reflected. 'I'm a much better mother in this circumstance than I would have been had I stayed in a romantic relationship that didn't serve me.' As for her thoughts on marriage, it seems only a matter of time before the couple takes the next step, but on their terms, and in their own time.

Joe Rogan left unsettled as mentalist correctly guesses his ATM PIN on air
Joe Rogan was visibly unsettled during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience after mentalist Oz Pearlman appeared to guess his secret ATM PIN code live on air. The moment left Rogan questioning how Pearlman could have deduced such a private detail. Joe Rogan gets spooked after a mentalist correctly guesses his ATM PIN code 😳 — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) June 5, 2025 Pearlman, a former Wall Street banker and America's Got Talent finalist, used his appearance as an opportunity to demonstrate his psychological skills. He began with a simple question to Rogan: 'Would your wife know your ATM PIN code?' Rogan answered, 'No,' setting the stage for a series of uncanny psychological tricks. Pearlman instructed Rogan to think of a random four-digit number, which Rogan picked as "2020." Using a combination of body language reading, subconscious tells, and quick improvisation, Pearlman began to deduce the real ATM PIN code. Pearlman boldly guessed that the first digit of Rogan's code was "1." Rogan, noticeably unnerved, confirmed it was correct, though he remained cautious about revealing more. As the interaction escalated, Pearlman eventually revealed a full prediction on a whiteboard. When asked if it matched his actual PIN, Rogan's scepticism grew, leading him to admit the similarity between Pearlman's guess and the actual number. Rogan, sounding shaken, admitted that the PIN had come in the mail, adding to his unease. He joked about contacting his bank, uncertain whether Pearlman had been playing a long game with him.

Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 launch June 5 with contrasting gameplay and story experiences
With the launch of the Switch 2 just hours away, fans of DELTARUNE can also look forward to the long-anticipated arrival of Chapters 3 and 4. The new content will be available on both Switch and Switch 2 starting at midnight on June 5, 2025. Chapters 1 and 2 are already accessible on the current Switch, and this release marks the first major update to the game in over three years. DELTARUNE creator Toby Fox has kept details under wraps until recently, but in a new interview with Nintendo, he offered a glimpse into what players can expect from the upcoming chapters. According to Fox, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 will deliver contrasting experiences, each with its own unique tone and gameplay. Fox likened Chapter 3 to 'a breath of helium,' suggesting a whimsical and fast-paced shift from the usual format. The chapter includes a dressing room and, based on trailers, features a scene where characters form a band—hinting at rhythm-style mini-games. Fox advised players to pace themselves with Chapter 3, as it may be best enjoyed in segments rather than all at once. In contrast, Chapter 4 is expected to be the most traditional RPG-style entry in the series so far. Fox described it as 'a breath of fresh air' after Chapter 3's eccentric energy. He also noted that Chapter 4 includes numerous cutscene events, especially at the beginning, and recommended it to fans who enjoy story-driven content. Like previous chapters, both new entries will contain hidden elements and clever tricks. Fox encouraged players to replay both chapters if they feel they've missed anything, reinforcing DELTARUNE's reputation for layered storytelling and replayability.
