Is TikTok on Barron Trump‘s mind? Well, someone from his father’s circle is already making big bets that he should take on a major role in the company, especially since Donald Trump signed the executive order backing a proposal that the app is still operational in the US. While the deal has yet to be finalised, Vice President JD Vance said the US business venture would be valued a $14 billion.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump made his major TikTok comeback for the first time in nearly a year’s time as he claimed to have “saved” the originally Chinese-owned app. Taking back control of his profile on the social media platform, he said, “To all of those young people of TikTok, I saved TikTok, so you owe me big.”
Given his role as the popular app’s perceived saviour, his former social media producer, Jack Advent, proposed that his youngest son, Barron, be brought on to helm a top spot in the company.
Is Barron Trump joining TikTok?
Advent, whom the Republican leader famously nicknamed as “TikTok Jack,” lauded the US president for delivering on his “promise to save TikTok and the millions of Americans who run their businesses and get their unfiltered news through the app,” according to the Daily Mail. In addition to applauding Trump’s efforts, he also suggested that the POTUS inject young blood, including his own son Barron Trump, into the company.
“Young people are overwhelmingly the user base of TikTok,” Jack told the UK news outlet. ” I’m hopeful President Trump will consider appointing his son Barron and maybe other young Americans to TikTok’s board to help ensure it remains an app young people want to keep using.”
In a similar message, Alex Bruesewitz, the former advisor for the Trump campaign, again highlighted TikTok’s synonymous identification with “America’s youth.” In a statement to the outlet, he said, “Promises made, promises kept,” while acknowledging that Trump saw through the ByteDance-owned TikTok being the “favourite platform” of the country’s young population, and it’s role as a “powerful tool for small businesses and entrepreneur to thrive.”
About Barron Trump’s career-driven path
Last month, Donald and Melania Trump’s only son, Barron, made headlines for moving back into the White House amid reports of his absence from the New York University campus despite the beginning of his sophomore year at the elite school. The New York Post ultimately reported that the 19-year-old had made a switch to NYU’s Washington DC campus instead, allowing him to stay closer to home.
Around the same time, First Lady Melania Trump had even admitted to Barron helping her out amid her new artificial intelligence undertakings in light of the White House Task Force on AI Education.
In a more recent admission, Barron’s brother, Eric Trump, revealed that the teen member of the family actually lost out on his dream career due to a personal identifier.
During an appearance on the PDB podcast, the American businessman said that his younger sibling wanted to pursue a career in football (or soccer). “So he loved soccer until he realised that there’s never been a 6ft 9 soccer player ever,” Eric said. When asked if the teenager was still interested in making a living as an athlete, the former reality TV presenter said, “I do not know. I think he’ll use his brain.”
The older Trump scion’s confession aligns with Barron’s cryptocurrency ventures, which have already helped him garner a net worth of $150 million. At such a young age, he already stands tall as the co-founder of the crypto company World Liberty Financial.
