Rare clip of 'vicious' baby Barron Trump resurfaces

A rare clip of Barron Trump as a baby has resurfaced on social media, sending fans of the incoming president into a frenzy.

The video shows a younger Donald Trump making a speech to a roaring crowd while holding his son at a January 2007 ceremony in Los Angeles , where he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame .

Trump, then a 60-year-old billionaire, held Barron in his arms after accepting the accolade - while bizarrely praising the 10-month-old as a 'vicious' and 'violent' future businessman.

'See, that's Barron,' Trump tells the spectators. 'He's strong, he's smart, he's tough, he's vicious, he's violent - all of the ingredients you need to be an entrepreneur.

'And most importantly hopefully he's smart, because smart is really the ingredient. So Barron, good luck, you have a long way to go.'

Trump then tries to leave the podium but is held up for a second after baby Barron refuses to let go of the microphone.

The president-elect joked 'uh oh, he won't give up the mic', prompting laughs from the crowd.

Twitter /X posts sharing the video today were met with adulation from supporters online.

'He loves his babies! And it shows in their faces when they look at him,' one person said of Trump on the platform owned by one of his closest allies, Elon Musk.

'Good luck Barron,' another person wrote beside a heart-eyes emoji and the US flag.

Several people commented on how little Donald and Melania Trump had aged in the 17-year period since.

'Did Trump stop aging all together? This was close to 18 years ago, yet Trump looks like he does today,' one person wrote.

'Look at Melania too. What a magnificent woman,' another person agreed.

Others even posited Barron as 'the future president of the United States'.

Now 18, Barron is a student at New York University's Stern School of Business. His arrival prompted mixed responses from other pupils, as polled by DailyMail.com .

But Barron gives little away to his peers, at least about his political views - telling them he doesn't support any party .

The teenager is not often seen in public - but he has been credited with helping his dad earn the 'bro vote' by getting him to engage in some podcast interviews.

He was the one who urged him to sit down with video game streamer Adin Ross as well as with Joe Rogan , who hosts the most popular podcast in the world.

Besides appearing on podcasts, Trump also won over the hyper-masculine vote by attending football games, UFC fights and tapping into young men's interests in alternative banking by launching his own cryptocurrency business.

According to analysis by CIRCLE , Trump managed to secure 56 percent of the vote of young men this election.

That was an increase of 15 percent, when 41 percent backed the president-elect in 2020.

Barron was reportedly a driving force behind the crypto decision, as well.
