It’s no surprise that Donald Trump’s inauguration back in January was a major talking point on social media. However, one part of the ceremony which prompted many questions across the various platforms revolved around his son Barron Trump — and an exchange he had with outgoing president Joe Biden.

The 19-year-old, 6 foot 9 student was seen approaching Biden and the outgoing vice-president Kamala Harris during the ceremony, shaking hands with them inside the Capital Rotunda before speaking in Biden’s ear. The moment saw Biden’s expression change from upbeat to solemn within seconds – causing social media to light up with speculation as to what was said.
‘You forgot to pardon yourself,’ one person joked at the time. Another added: ‘Not sure what he said but wiped the smirk right off his face.’ However, nearly a year later, the mystery may have been solved — courtesy of Barron’s older brother Eric. (Picture: TikTok/trumpwon829)
Speaking to Megyn Kelly during a live take of her show in Miami last week, Eric Trump told her that he had asked Barron exactly what went on between him and former President Biden at the inauguration and, despite all the conspiracy theories doing the rounds, it wasn’t nearly as exciting as some might have suggested.

Eric said: ‘One night I call Barron and I go “Buddy, what did you actually say?” And it was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right. But like, “Congratulations, and best of luck to you”, or something like that. Something very respectable.’ (Picture: Sirius XM)
He also denied that his sibling might have said something more controversial, adding: ‘Patrick Bet David, I was on his show and he goes “Did Barron really tell Biden to go f*** himself?” He just doesn’t have that in him. He’s probably thinking it, he definitely has it up here, but like he’s too courteous to actually go out there and say it.’ (Picture: SiriusXM)
Barron, 19, also won praise at the time for shaking hands with the outgoing president. ‘I was very impressed by that gesture and from someone so young. To go across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature thing to do. Good for Barron,’ one person said. Another added: ‘That gesture just tells you everything.’ (Picture: Kenny Holston-Pool/Getty Images)
More recently, it’s been rumoured that Barron, who is in his second year at NYU, has been struggling with university life since his dad began his second term as president, with the Daily Mail reporting that he has been subject to nicknames from his peers. ‘He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,’ said Kaya Walker, the former president of NYU College Republicans, via Vanity Fair. ‘He goes to class, he goes home.’ Other reports recently suggested that he shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower for a romantic date – for security reasons.

Trump, however, has refuted such speculation. Speaking in a YouTube video his granddaughter Kai posted to her channel – in which the pair play golf together – he said of Barron: ”He’s doing good. He’s a good boy.’ (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
Barron, who is a student at NYU School of business, is reported to be taking classes at the university’s Washington DC campus and living in the White House, after spending his first year on campus in New York. He is due to graduate in 2028. (Picture: Karen Ballard/ZUMA Press Wire/Sh) Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
