Barron Trump's 'best friend' Bo Loudon is influencer who flaunts his lavish lifestyle
The 18-year-old social media star describes himself as a 'pro-Trump influencer' and has recently taken pride in getting TikTok personality Khaby Lame deported.
When Bo's not acting as the political party's mouthpiece - or wearing an ICE-emblazoned cap, he's busy showing off his lavish lifestyle, including hanging out with celebrities and traveling by private jet.
Here, we take a closer look at Bo from his upbringing with his ultra-Republican parents to his 'inseparable' friendship with 19-year-old Barron.
Bo, who hails from Palm Beach, Florida, was born to Gina Loudon and John William Loudon in August 2006 and is one of their five children.
His mother is a conservative media personality and former co-chair of Women for Trump in 2020, while his father is a former Republican member of the Missouri State for the 7th District and former member of the Missouri House of Representatives.
Both parents are members Mar-a-Largo, Trump's notorious private members club located in Palm Beach, Florida, and they have been outspoken about their support for the President.
Notably, Gina and John appeared in an episode of the reality television show Wife Swap in 2013, where they swapped with polyamorous and bisexual family, the Envys.
At the end of the two-week swap, Gina and John refused to participate in the roundtable discussion with the other couple, the first time in the show's history.
Bo's parents' affinity for right-wing politics meant that he was only a youngster when he attended his first Republican National Convention, with reports claiming he attended his first rally in 2016 at just nine years old.
Three years later, Bo made his first social media post, a photo of himself and his brother with Trump and Melania.
In May 2024, a source told Daily Mail that he and Barron are 'inseparable' when they are both at home in Florida.
The insider said: 'Bo is very ideological and extremely Pro-Trump. He's over at Mar-a-Lago every night that Barron is home. The two of them are inseparable.'
Together, the duo are said to be key players in organizing Trump's media appearances, and reportedly set up his 90-minute interview with Kick influencer Adin Ross, which was watched live by 500,000 people.
The duo have also pressed him to forge close links with their favorite content creators, from YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul to billionaire business mogul Patrick Bet-David, host of the PBD podcast.
'He has no issues turning to them for advice on a subject that many of his middle-aged campaign aides wouldn't have much of a clue about.'
Although Barron has remained out of the limelight and off social media, Bo has amassed close to 350,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok and Twitter – where he proudly declares 'Gen-Z stands with Trump.'
His feed is filled with pro-Trump videos, critiques of the 'fake news' media and photos taken with leading conservatives such as Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson and UFC mogul Dana White.
Bo is often seen rubbing shoulders with celebrities too.
In recent years, he has uploaded photos of himself hanging out with famous faces, including the likes of Snoop Dogg, Dennis Quaid, Jake Paul, and Chris Brown.
In a social media post uploaded on Thursday (July 10), he said: 'I've been around many elites from Satanic Hollywood.
'President Trump is nothing like them. Trump is a stand-up guy that treats everyone around him the best he can.'
And according to insiders, Bo is 'determined to win more of Gen Z for Trump.'
Last year, a souce told the Daily Mail: 'He even got in trouble once at school for wearing so much Trump gear.
'The boys are business minded; they're patriots. But they are also normal, good kids who are finding their way.'
Last April, Bo and Barron teamed up to host an April 'power summit' banquet for Bet-David, MMA fighter Colby Covington, and the entrepreneur Justin Waller, a business partner of the controversial internet personality Andrew Tate.
The guests came away purring about the boys' business acumen and social skills with Bet-David praising Barron as a 'freaking stud of a kid' in clips that soon went viral.
Justin told DailyMail.com: 'Bo reached out to me and told me that Barron watches my content and would like to invite me to dinner at Mar-a-Lago.'
Last month in June 2025, Bo bragged that he was responsible for getting the world's biggest TikTok star, Khaby Lame, deported out of the United States with the help of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on June 6, he wrote that Khaby is an 'illegal alien' in all caps before proclaiming that he has 'been working with the patriots at Trump's DHS' to deport the Senegal-born influencer.
ICE confirmed Lame was detained at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 6, the same day Bo made his supposed involvement public.
Khaby, who has over 162 million TikTok followers, overstayed his visa after entering the country on April 30, according to an ICE spokesperson. He was granted 'voluntary departure,' a bureaucratic euphemism for being kicked out.
The spokesperson confirmed in a statement: 'Serigne Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, was detained… for immigration violations. Lame was granted voluntary departure… and has since departed the US.'
Bo claimed Khaby was detained at Henderson Detention Center, southeast of Las Vegas proper, though it's unclear how long he may have been in custody before leaving.
ICE have not confirmed whether Bo was involved in reporting Khaby to authorities, but Bo has continued to celebrate his alleged role in the TikToker's removal.
In the aftermath of the deportation, Bo denounced various media outlets' coverage of this incident, who reportedly called him a 'rat' and a 'rat extraordinaire.'
He asked: 'Why? Because I helped President Trump's DHS deport TikTok's biggest star, Khaby Lame, for being in the U.S. illegally. I wish Khaby well and hope he returns as a LAW-ABIDING citizen.'

Omagh inquiry seeks secret 15-year-old transcript from Commons archive
Omagh Bombing Inquiry solicitor Tim Suter has asked for information about an allegation 'that police investigators into previous attacks in Moira, Portadown, Banbridge and Lisburn did not have access to intelligence materials which may have reasonably enabled them to disrupt the activities of dissident republican terrorists' in the Co Tyrone town. The allegation is thought to have been made during a private session of the Commons Northern Ireland Affairs Committee almost 16 years ago, on November 11 2009. Conservative MP Simon Hoare warned there was 'no wriggle room' in Parliament's rules to hand over the information to the inquiry without MPs' say-so, because it previously went 'unreported'. Commons committees can refrain from reporting evidence in certain circumstances, for example, if it contains information which is prejudicial to the public interest. MPs tasked the Commons Privileges Committee with looking at the 2009 transcript. This seven-member group has until October 30 to decide whether to report and publish the evidence, which was originally given to the House by former senior police officer Norman Baxter. 'It is very hard for the House to decide whether or not to release evidence it has not seen and cannot see before the decision is made,' Mr Hoare warned. 'It is particularly difficult in this case, as that evidence may contain sensitive information.' The North Dorset MP added that the Privileges Committee 'might simply decide to publish it'. But the agreed motion will give the committee power to make an alternative recommendation 'on the desirability or otherwise of the release of the evidence to the Omagh Bombing Inquiry'. Privileges Committee chairman Alberto Costa, the Conservative MP for South Leicestershire, told MPs that his organisation 'stands ready to deal with this matter'. The independent inquiry chaired by Lord Turnbull will consider whether the Omagh bombing 'could reasonably have been prevented by UK state authorities'. The dissident republican bomb exploded in the Co Tyrone town on August 15 1998, killing 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins. Mr Hoare agreed with DUP MP for Strangford Jim Shannon, who was born in Omagh, after he told the Commons that 'justice' should be at the 'forefront of all right honourable and honourable members' minds during this process'.
