Barron Trump’s height (6’9”) is not the only talked about aspect of Donald Trump’s youngest son this election season. The 18-year-old became the DeFi visionary of Donald Trump’s crypto platform World Liberty Financial during the election campaign. And Trump spoke profusely about how handy Barron came to reach out to the Gen Z audience as Barron is well versed in podcasts and knew which could bring Trump the maximum coverage.
Trump’s campaign prepared the list of podcasts that they thought he should appear on to showcase his fun side but the final approval did not come from the boss. There was another stop and Trump would not even look at the list before Barron was consulted, a TIME report by Eric Cortellessa detailed.
Trump’s campaign manager Susie Wiles hired a 27-year-old, Alex Bruesewitz, to handle Trump’s podcast circuit. A list of shows from Trump was made which was shown to him. And the conversation went like this:
“I have a list of podcasts I wanted to pitch you on,” Bruesewitz said.
“Have you talked this over with Barron?” Trump asked
“No, sir,” Bruesewitz said.
“Call Barron and see what he thinks and let me know,” Trump said.
“Bruesewitz reached Barron later that day and learned that he was particularly fond of Adin Ross, a provocateur mostly known for collaborating with celebrities on live-streams of video games, such as NBA2K and Grand Theft Auto. They agreed that’s where Trump should start. The podcast strategy was in motion,” The TIME report said elaborating how Barron’s opinion was crucial for Trump.
From then on coordinating with Barron was in the process. Bruesewitz booked Trump on a marathon of podcast interview coordinating with Barron — all with massive young male audiences, including Adin Ross, Logan Paul, Theo Von, Joe Rogan etc.
Bo Loudon was roped in
Barron Trump’s friend Bo Loudon was another social media warrior the campaign put in place. Bo’s mother Gina Loudon was in the Trump team in the 2020 election. Bo appeared on TV interviews and spoke for the Gen Z voters.
