What to Know
Compared to other members of the Trump family, Barron Trump seems pretty quiet and tends to stay out of the spotlight. That might be why, each time he’s spotted speaking to someone, there are always people trying to work out what he was saying. You might remember how, after his father’s inauguration, everyone wanted to know what he had said to Former President Joe Biden. That was his last public appearance prior to his dad’s State of the Union address. And of course, there’s now a new mystery to be solved.
At the event, Barron was spotted talking to his half-sister Ivanka.
Obviously, though they’re siblings, there’s a significant age difference between them. Ivanka is currently 44 years old, while Barron is 19. People couldn’t help but wonder what the siblings were talking about, and a lip reader thinks they might have it figured out. Sort of.
The lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, told The Mirror that Ivanka appeared to be saying, “What are you doing on…?” Jeremy isn’t sure about the last word she said before Barron responded. But Barron reportedly replied, “I’m not sure, I couldn’t be a—d.” So, that doesn’t exactly clear things up. However, a different lip reader, Nicola Hickling, reportedly caught Barron saying, “I am not championing her.” Then, Ivanka responded, “You think we shoulda met her. I believe in you, buddy,” according to the lip reader.
A body language expert also weighed in. The expert, Judi James, told the Daily Mail that “Barron and Ivanka seemed to have formed a new sibling power couple, sitting side by side, with Barron looking watchful and serious while Ivanka chatted to him until they were engaged together in some ongoing conversation.”

Previously, Eric Trump spilled the tea on what Barron said at their dad’s inauguration.
Melania was allegedly pretty angry about that, so maybe we won’t hear from him this time. But back when people were trying to figure out what Barron might’ve said to Joe Biden, Eric claimed it was something super polite. “It was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right,” Eric said. “‘Congratulations and best of luck to you,’ or something like that. Something very respectful.”
Before Eric revealed what his younger brother had said, some people had wondered if he’d said something rude. But Eric claimed that Barron isn’t capable of that. “He just doesn’t have that in him,” he explained. “Like, he’s a nice guy. He’s probably thinking it. He definitely has it up here, but he’s too courteous to actually go out there and say it.”
