Former President Donald Trump is reaching out to the influential Gen Z demographic with assistance from his youngest son, 18-year-old Barron Trump, and Barron’s close friend, 17-year-old influencer Bo Loudon. The tech-savvy teens are providing the 78-year-old former President with a crash course on the digital landscape, which is largely shaped by streamers and YouTube personalities with millions of followers.
Sources close to DailyMail have revealed that Barron and Bo have become an unofficial social media outreach team, strategically engaging with online influencers who might not be on the radar of Trump’s more experienced aides, thereby enhancing his appeal to younger voters. “Trump rates the boys and sees their input as an asset,” a source told the DailyMail. “He has no issues turning to them for advice on a subject that many of his middle-aged campaign aides wouldn’t have much of a clue about. The boys are business-minded; they’re patriots. But they are also normal, good kids who are finding their way.”
Bo, a rising figure among conservative influencers, is the son of television personality Dr. Gina Loudon and former Missouri GOP state senator John William Loudon (R-MO). The Loudon family, active members of Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, is well-acquainted with Trump’s social circle. Barron and Bo were reportedly key in arranging Trump’s interview last week with influencer Adin Ross. Trump made a dramatic entrance in a customized MAGA Cybertruck, gifted to him by the popular streamer, during a live interview broadcast on Kick. The Cybertruck featured a prominent image of Trump with his fist raised, symbolizing his resilience during the assassination attempt.
“My son Barron says hello. He’s a great young guy, but he’s a big fan of yours,” Trump said to Ross. “My kids say, ‘Dad you have no idea how big this interview is.’ I said, ‘Don’t tell me that.’” Trump wrote after the interview on Truth Social, “Wow!!! Adin Ross Interview yesterday EXPLODED, but in a very positive way! Platform set an all-time record, by far, with over 100 MILLION Views/Hits. Congratulations to Adin and his wonderful mother, father, and family, who I had the pleasure to meet. Thank you also to Barron Trump for the introduction to your friend, Adin. Young people are the future of America. THOSE NUMBERS ARE REALLY BIG ‘STUFF!’”
One of Trump’s strategic moves involved partnering with Bo for a ‘power summit’ banquet at Mar-a-Lago, where prominent figures such as entrepreneur Justin Waller were invited. Waller told DailyMail that Bo personally reached out to him, mentioning that Barron follows his content and wanted to invite him to dinner. Guests at the event were impressed by the young hosts, commending their business acumen and social skills. “I see them both being entrepreneurs. They are certainly going to pave their own path for themselves and it’s very clear to see that they’ll be quite successful,” Waller said.
