Eric Trump has revealed what his younger brother Barron said to former president Joe Biden at their father's inauguration earlier this year. The 19-year-old student approached Biden during the ceremony, and shook hands with him and outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris inside the Capitol Rotunda. As he shook hands with Biden, he leaned in and whispered something in the departing commander-in-chief's ear.

Social media went wild at the time, with many people desperately wondering what he said to him - and others thinking Barron used the moment to whisper something sinister in Biden's ear. His older brother Eric appeared alongside Megyn Kelly for a live take of her namesake show in Miami last week and revealed just what went down. 

Eric said: 'One night I call Barron and I go "Buddy, what did you actually say?" And it was something so polite I almost wouldn't even get it right. 'But like, "Congratulations, and best of luck to you", or something like that. Something very respectable. 'Patrick Bet David, I was on his show and he goes "Did Barron really tell Biden to go [expletive] himself?", he just doesn't have that in him.'

Eric added: 'He's probably thinking it, he definitely has it up here, but like he's too courteous to actually go out there and say it.' As Barron made the comments, Biden had a smile on his face which was replaced with a more solemn look after the brief exchange. The New York University student was praised as 'a true gentleman' for shaking hands with Biden and Harris at the time.

The gesture of peace also led to social media users deciding that the college freshman was 'raised well’ by his mother Melania. 'I was very impressed by that gesture and from someone so young. To go across the aisle and shake their hands was a very classy and mature thing to do. Good for Barron,' one person said.

'Such a good young man... That gesture just tells you everything. Well done Melania,' another said. More recently, reports have emerged that suggested Barron was having a challenging time in school after his father re-entered the White House. Several reports suggested he was subject to cruel nicknames by his peers, while another said he shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower for a romantic date.

But during a recent golf outing with the president's granddaughter Kai , Trump said his son is 'doing good.' In September, Barron was said to have reportedly shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower to host a date, sources told Page Six . The report said the president's youngest son had no choice but to have his date at home, given the tight security measures to ensure his safety.

The decision to shut down an entire floor of the building was also made with Barron and his date's safety in mind, the source said. Although he hasn't made a public appearance alongside his family since his father's inauguration in January, he has also reportedly spent his downtime in their company. Barron is reportedly studying business at the Stern School of Business, he is expected to graduate in 2028.
