Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, has been making headlines for his impressive skills and academic pursuits, as many continue to be fascinated and intrigued by his knowledge. His mother, Melania Trump, previously said he was fluent in three languages, and now, his father is commenting on his technological aptitudes.

In a recent interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump shared his admiration for his 19-year-old son’s technological skills, revealing that Barron has an "unbelievable aptitude in technology" and left him impressed before. 

During the conversation, Donald also reflected on his children’s accomplishments and how they have excelled in various fields. "If you look at my kids, all of my kids, they’ve been very good, they've been very smart," he said.

"They love our country and they’re proud of their father," he continued. When asked about Barron’s natural talents, the former president couldn’t help but praise his son’s aptitude with technology. He detailed a moment when he tried to shut down Barron’s laptop, only to find that his son had already figured out how to restart it.

"I turn off his laptop, I said, 'Oh good,' and I go back five minutes later, he's got his laptop. I said, 'How’d you do that?'" Donald shared. "None of your business, Dad," he responded. “He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology,” Donald added, clearly impressed by his son’s skills.

“Barron is focused on his studies and doesn’t seem terribly out of place,” a source recently told People about his experience on campus. “He seems to have a button-down collar mentality when he’s in the public eye."

The insider also described him as an "old soul" amid his latest birthday celebration. “He has lived through experiences others his age haven't," the source continued. “He is well-grounded, he has seen a lot and he knows who he is."
