With the assistance of his youngest son, 18-year-old Barron Trump, and his close buddy, 17-year-old influencer Bo Loudon, 2024 candidate Donald Trump is reaching out to the influential Gen Z group. The 78-year-old former President is getting a crash education in the digital world that is dominated by streamers and YouTube stars with millions of followers from the tech-savvy teenagers.
According to sources close to DailyMail, Barron and Bo have developed into an unofficial social media outreach team.

By carefully interacting with internet influencers who may not be noticed by Trump’s more seasoned advisers, they help the candidate win over younger people.
“Trump rates the boys and sees their input as an asset,” a source told the DailyMail. “He has no issues turning to them for advice on a subject that many of his middle-aged campaign aides wouldn’t have much of a clue about. The boys are business minded, they’re patriots. But they are also normal, good kids who are finding their way.”

The son of former Missouri GOP state senator John William Loudon (R-MO) and television personality Dr. Gina Loudon, Bo is a rising star among conservative influencers. The Loudon family is well-known in the Trump social circle; they are frequent visitors to Palm Beach’s Mar-a-Lago.
It is said that Barron and Bo played a key role in setting up Trump’s discussion with influencer Adin Ross last week. During a live Kick interview, Trump stole the show in a custom-built MAGA Cybertruck that the well-known streamer gave him. A famous picture of Trump raising his fist was painted on the Cybertruck as a tribute to his fortitude throughout the murder attempt.
“My son Barron says hello. He’s a great young guy but he’s a big fan of yours,” Trump said to Ross. “My kids say, ‘Dad you have no idea how big this interview is.’ I said ‘Don’t tell me that.’”
Trump wrote after the interview on Truth Social, “Wow!!! Adin Ross Interview yesterday EXPLODED, but in a very positive way! Platform set an all-time record, by far, with over 100 MILLION Views/Hits. Congratulations to Adin and his wonderful mother, father, and family, who I had the pleasure to meet. Thank you also to Barron Trump for the introduction to your friend, Adin. Young people are the future of America. THOSE NUMBERS ARE REALLY BIG ‘STUFF!’”
Joining forces with Bo for a “power summit” dinner at Mar-a-Lago and inviting notable people, such as businessman Justin Waller, was one of Trump’s calculated moves. Waller revealed to DailyMail that Bo got in touch with him directly, letting him know that Barron is one of his followers and that he wants to invite him to dinner. The youthful hosts left a lasting impression on the attendees, who praised their social skills and business acumen.
“I see them both being entrepreneurs. They are certainly going to pave their own path for themselves and it’s very clear to see that they’ll be quite successful,” Waller said.
Barron is the only one of the five brothers who did not attend the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, having missed it recently. Up until now, the 18-year-old had mostly avoided the political spotlight throughout his adolescent years.
