Before Barron spoke, his father admitted that he found it hard to handle the concept and was taught by his son.

“Barron knows so much about this,” said Trump. “Barron is a young guy. He’s got four wallets or something. I’m saying ‘explain this to me.’ He knows it so well. And Eric and Don. I have a lot of respect for them.”

When asked direct questions, Trump changed the topic to AI needing electricity or China. At one stage, he made a comparison between crypto and his granddaughter learning Chinese.

He said: “It’s sort of like a language. I have a beautiful granddaughter, Ivanka’s daughter, Arabella. She speaks perfect Chinese. Their other two children speak perfect Chinese. From a nanny who was from China.”

It’s been claimed Trump by political insiders that Barron has been “consulting” his youngest son on his campaign.

Peggy Grande, who worked under the Reagan administration, told us: “It’ll be fun to see what [Barron] chooses to pursue, and apparently he and Donald Trump have this great relationship, and [Trump] actually consults Barron often about political things too.”

Grande added: “I do think the Trump campaign is the first campaign to accept crypto as political donations. So it’s a new era coming.”
