Say the name Trump in the US and it’s likely you’ll get some sort of reaction. A byproduct of President Donald’s modus operandi and larger-than-life persona is that one way or another, people do have an opinion.
And yet while there are millions of people who lambast his every move and question how he ever maneuvered his way into the White House’s top job not once, but twice, there are also countless who count themselves diehard fans.
Just what those sitting in the latter category will do when Trump eventually leaves politics, to whom they will turn, remains to be seen. After all, in some ways Trump has transcended the usual harmony of one candidate and their chosen political party; Trump isn’t a representative of the Republicans so much as a one-man political juggernaut.
Yet though he might joke about running for the presidency again in 2028, there are rules and regulations preventing him from doing so. These coming three years will – barring any truly shocking turn of events – mark the last time the name Trump and the office of POTUS go together… at least for the time being.
A new poll has shed some light on what people think to the idea of Barron Trump – the president’s youngest son – following in his father’s footsteps as the supposed Leader of the Free World.
Trump has other children, other sons, but none of them have ever showed any particular nuance for politics, no interest in making serious inroads into the political sphere. Barron, just turned 20, has yet to forge a career, and in recent years he’s become popular among Republican voters.
Remember, Barron was a young child during his father’s first term in the White House, but prior to this time around, he was old enough to have a say. Reports claim he pointed Donald in the direction of podcasters like Joe Rogan and Logan Paul in an effort to allow him to better connect with male GenZ voters.
In essence, he helped secure valuable votes for his father during the 2024 presidential run, with Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller telling Politico: “Barron has been very involved in recommending a number of the podcasts that we should do.
“Hats off to the young man. Every single recommendation he’s had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that’s broken the Internet.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there’s been talk recently regarding the future Barron might try to carve out for himself. Currently a student at NYU Stern School of Business, the world is literally his oyster, but there are obvious ties connecting him to politics if that’s what he wants to do.
Indeed, according to a recent poll by Daily Mail and J.L. Partners poll, Barron might well have strong support if he ever decides to run for president. In fact, there were US citizens comfortable with the idea of the Constitution being altered to allow him to run earlier than is currently legal.
As per the aforementioned poll, 40 percent of Republicans would consider changing the Constitution to allow Barron to announce his campaign for President earlier.
As stands, an individual must be 35 before they make a bid for the presidency, meaning Barron would have to wait fifteen long years before he could attempt to slide into the seat that is currently his father’s.
Meanwhile, thirty-eight percent of Republicans asked in the poll disagreed with amending the Constitution, while 22 percent did not share an opinion on the matter.
Overall, 42 percent of all respondents to the poll rejected the idea of altering the Constitution, with it naturally proving unpopular among non-Republicans. Only 24 percent of those polled in total supported the proposal.
That said, the idea of Barron becoming president via the traditional channels (i.e. waiting until he’s 35) had more support.
Nearly half of all Republicans polled supported Barron as future President of the United States. Only 13 percent of those on the red side of the aisle rejecting the idea outright.
What do you think? Could Barron Trump ever serve as President fo the United States? Let us know in the comments.
