Trump Says Son Barron, 18 Hasn’t ‘Had a Girlfriend Yet’

Donald Trump spilled the beans about his son Barron ’s love life on the PDB podcast with Patrick Bet-David on Thursday, telling over a million viewers that the first-year NYU student hasn’t “had a girlfriend yet.”

Trump made the comment after Bet-David asked him how Barron was doing with “the ladies” at school.

“He’s very smart,” Trump said, “He’s a good student, and all that. He goes to a great school and does really well. And he’s a very nice guy. You see that,” he continued, but “I’m not sure he’s—I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet. I don’t think so.”

Barron began his first year at NYU this fall after plenty of speculation over where the young Trump would ultimately attend college. And though Barron may possibly prefer that his father not discuss his love life in front of an audience, Trump may actually be mistaken about his never having a had a girlfriend.

Just last week, a TikToker named Maddie claimed that Barron was her first boyfriend , which she attempted to confirm with several photos of herself with him. “I went to school with Barron Trump, and he was my first bf,” she wrote in a message with the photos. “When Trump was elected, he brought the entire class to the White House. We gotta save my bae!” Maddie called Barron “the nicest” during their time together.

Trump, who usually steers clear of personal details about his teenage son, ended up divulging another intimate tidbit on the podcast.

Assuming he’s not “mistaken” again, that is, the ex-president revealed a private nickname for Barron: “ Melania , I think, called him ‘Little Donald,’” he said, “If I’m not mistaken, she gave that nickname to him,’” he continued.

“He’s not so little because he’s a pretty tall guy,” the former president helpfully explained.

Elsewhere in the interview, Trump attempted to explain his random musical interludes during his appearances—the longest and now most infamous of which happened earlier this week at a Pennsylvania town hall , where he stood or awkwardly danced for 40 plus minutes on stage as attendees stared on from the audience.

Bet-David showed Trump a clip of another time he’d stopped speaking on stage to listen to the music. “Let me explain,” Trump began when the clip ended, “I think I’m the only politician that ever spoke to music before, and I do that sometimes.”
