Rumors that Barron Trump handles the White House’s social media accounts have been circulating for quite some time. Recently, speculation has been revived, and avid followers of President Donald Trump are convinced that only one person could be behind it: his 19-year-old son.
The White House shared a slick clip on TikTok set to Fetty Wap’s 2015 hit “679.” Titled “All in week’s work…and we are just getting STARTED,” the video featured a rapid montage of Donald Trump’s accomplishments in early 2026.
It started with POTUS and Melania Trump exiting a helicopter as “Welcome to 2026” flashed across the screen. Then came a series of quick cuts, including Donald Trump shaking hands with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as “Fixed the food pyramid” text appeared.
Another part of the video showed the president saluting troops aboard an aircraft carrier with “Operation Absolute Resolve,” which is clearly a reference to the January 3 special forces operation that extracted Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and was later brought to New York to face trial on narcoterrorism and cocaine trafficking charges.

The clip highlighted other wins for the Trump administration: “Banned large industrial investors from buying single-family homes,” and “Withdrew from 66 international globalist organizations.” It concluded with the POTUS raising his fist in the air as text read, “We’re just getting started.”
The choice of Fetty Wap’s song sparked speculation among Trump supporters, as it appeals primarily to younger audiences. The said level of cultural awareness seemed to hint at the possibility of someone with youthful instincts using the TikTok account.

“We see you, Barron. You’ve done a great job running this account,” one person wrote. “Just wanted to say hi to Barron!” another netizen chimed in. “I know it’s his playlist,” a third commenter posted, alongside a GIF of the teenager. Others praised whoever was managing the account for having a “mad sense of humor” and suggested they “need a raise!!!”
During the 2024 campaign, Barron Trump became his dad’s secret weapon for reaching younger people. He convinced Donald Trump to trade those stiff, traditional news interviews for the world of podcasts. Barron basically acted as his father’s “Gen Z consultant,” pushing him toward long, genuine conversations on shows hosted by Joe Rogan, Theo Von, and Logan Paul.
This strategy was a game-changer. Instead of 30-second soundbites, the 79-year-old President sat down for hours at a time, just talking like a normal person. It gave millions of young men—who usually tune out politics entirely—a chance to see an unfiltered, more relaxed side of him. By trusting his son’s perspective, Trump managed to break through the noise and connect with a whole new audience at their own kitchen table.
For starters, Barron Trump is presently a college sophomore studying business at NYU. The first son has taken classes at the university’s Washington, D.C., campus to remain close to his parents during Donald Trump’s second term. While he has shown little interest in politics itself, Barron has kept a deliberately low profile and avoided the spotlight in a way that mirrors his mother’s private nature.

Sources claimed Barron is into business and real estate. He is said to be “anxious to form his own companies and make money,” and he shares his father’s entrepreneurial drive. “He shares that enthusiasm with his father, which comes as no surprise. Barron, in my opinion, knows what he wants,” an anonymous insider said.
As of this writing, no one can confirm if Barron Trump is the person behind the White House TikTok account. However, the fact that supporters so readily believed it speaks to how effectively the video was crafted and to their perception of Barron as someone with genuine media savvy—a quiet influence operating behind the scenes.
