Barron, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, was applauded by 45,000 Trump supporters at his father’s prestigious golf resort in Doral, Florida.
The ex-president was accompanied by several Florida Republicans, including Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, multiple U.S. lawmakers from the Florida delegation, and several other influential political leaders in the state, for the eagerly awaited gathering on Tuesday. The viewership of Tuesday’s ceremony has surged since there is a chance that Trump’s highly anticipated vice-presidential pick may be announced.
Trump was accompanied by members of the Trump family, including his eldest sons Donald Jr. and Eric, both of whom spoke to the audience before the former president appeared on stage at around 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
While addressing lawmakers and family members at a political rally, Trump took a moment to introduce Barron, who is 18 years old, for the first time. “He is a very young man, just recently turned 18,” Trump stated, prompting his followers to rise and applaud.
“Oh, look at this. A very young man who is now going to college, got into every college he wanted to, and he’s a very good guy I’ll tell you. You know I’m not allowed to call them boy but he is my boy he’s my boy they’re all my boys right? When you have sons they can be any age they’re your boy they’re always going to be and he’s a very special guy. Barron Trump,” the former president introduced before asking his youngest son to stand up.
During Tuesday night’s rally, Trump challenged “sleepy Joe” to another debate later this week and offered him a chance to “redeem himself.”
“Let’s do another debate this week so that sleepy Joe Biden can prove to everyone all over the world that he has what it takes to be president. But this time it will be man to man, no moderators, no holds barred,” the former president declared.
Trump also dared his primary political adversary to resolve the dispute on their individual golf abilities.
“And in the debate, Sleepy Joe also declared that he wanted to test his skills and stamina against mine on the golf course. Can you believe this?” Trump told the Florida crowd.
“That’s why this evening, I am also, and this is in honor of you and everybody here, there’s 45,000 people. That’s a lot of people. I’m also officially challenging Crooked Joe to an 18-hole golf match right here. On Doral’s Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the great courses of the world,” the former president went on to say.
