Barron Trump speaks!
That was the reaction of many on social media who viewed President-elect Donald Trump’s youngest son introducing himself in a video shared Wednesday by the “Art of the Surge” documentary series. (Watch the clip below.)
Viewers said it was the first time they had heard the 18-year-old NYU freshman talk after he was mostly being shielded from public life growing up.
In the clip, the younger Trump greets someone who is off-camera. “Hello, how are you? It’s very nice to see you. It’s very nice.”
Barron Trump’s quick repeat of “it’s very nice” is also reminiscent of his dad’s speech pattern, with some noting the son’s similar “mannerisms” and “voice.”
The very tall scion then offered a “good to see you” to UFC boss Dana White. The president-elect expressed surprise the two had never met and jokingly asked White, “Can we make him a fighter?”
The teenage Trump, who is credited with helping his dad court the young man, or “bro,” vote, will likely not be a regular at the White House the second time around.
He’s living at home in Manhattan’s Trump Tower while attending NYU in the Stern School of Business a few miles south, according to his mother, Melania Trump.
“I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former and future first lady told “Fox & Friends” in late September. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.”

“He’s enjoying his college days,” she added. “I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18, 19-year-old child.”
