Barron Trump is receiving positive feedback online for shaking hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at his father's inauguration on Monday.

Nick Sotor, a conservative personality, posted on X that Barron Trump shook hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. This young man will be our President in the future, according to Sotor.

The 18-year-old New York University freshman shook Biden's and Harris' hands shortly after his father took the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States. He also participated in a handful of inaugural festivities on Monday, including attending a church service at St. John's that morning with his family and the inaugural parade later in the day.

Barron Trump received praise from conservatives and social media commentators on Twitter and TikTok for his handshake with Biden, with some speculating he could launch a political career, while others wondered what he said to the president during their brief encounter.

Barron was joked about whispering "you forgot to pardon yourself" when shaking Biden's hand on social media.

The first son, Barron Trump, was cheered by Trump supporters during the inaugural parade later that day, as he was shown on the jumbotron in the Capital One Arena.

Trump praised the youth vote, stating that they won it by 36 points, and thanked him for encouraging him to join podcasts during the campaign to connect with younger voters.

On his first day in office, Trump signed at least 42 executive orders, memoranda or proclamations, gave three speeches and answered approximately an hour of media questions.
