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.

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)

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)
