A mystery has finally been resolved. Earlier this year, Barron Trump was seen saying something to Joe Biden at Donald Trump’s inauguration. There was widespread speculation about the same, with lip readers and body language experts attempting to dissect what was said. Now, his brother, Eric Trump, has revealed what Barron actually said.
Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show, Eric said that the 19-year-old actually made a “very respectful” comment towards the former President. It started with Eric hailing himself as the “nicest of Trumps,” as Don Jr. “is a kind of j–k,” and well, their father is “tough.” That just leaves Barron among the male Trumps.
Many think Barron Trump told off Joe Biden when he walked up to him and spoke on Inauguration day. Many lip readers have given their answers and some include expletives.

Eric said, “Barron’s young, he’s not, like, old enough to be a jerk and get away with it. If you were a j–k at 18 years old, you’re like pompous and like a p—k, right? Yeah, he’s a little shy, but Barron’s smart as hell.” Then, he went on to talk about the rumors about what he said to Joe Biden during the inauguration.
“Do you remember that whole controversy where he went up to Biden?” Eric asked host Megyn Kelly, who responded with a short “Yes.”
“And they had all these, they had all these like lip-reading experts, and they just, you know, and they’re like, ‘Barron just told Biden to go f[expletive language] himself,’” Eric continued. “So one night—I’m very close to Barron, I love Barron to death—one night I call Barron, I go ‘buddy, what did you actually say?’ And he goes, it was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right, you know, ‘congratulations and best of luck to you,’ or something like that, something very respectful,” said Eric.

The second son of Donald Trump then recalled the time he was asked to address the same controversy on Patrick Bet-David’s show. “He [Barron] just doesn’t have that in him, he’s a nice guy,” said Eric. He continued, “He’s probably thinking it, he definitely has it up here. He’s too courteous to actually go out there and say it.”
The controversy at that time stemmed from clips of Barron Trump approaching a smiling Biden. However, after the youngest Trump greeted the former POTUS and said something, the smile on Biden’s face suddenly disappeared.
Needless to say, the clips shot from different angles quickly went viral on social media, with many commenting that Barron must have said some harsh words to Biden.
