Barron Trump Set to Enter ‘Next Phase’ of Life as He Celebrates ‘Turning Point’ Birthday: Report

 First son Barron Trump turned 20 on Friday, and he reportedly is already following in his father’s footsteps, making his way in the business world.

Trump, who is a sophomore at New York University’s Stern School of Business, transferred this year from the Manhattan campus to its location in Washington, D.C., to be close to his family, according to People.

“Barron has inherited his father’s interest in making money and a name for himself, and is well on the way to becoming an entrepreneur,” a social source told the news outlet. “He is smart, focused and resourceful. He is always looking for areas that interest him and is quite ambitious for such a young age.

“He wants to make his own mark.”

People noted that the college student was the “motivating force” behind the Trump family jumping into the cryptocurrency world with both feet in recent years, earning them billions of dollars, based on reporting by Forbes.

The publication said that Barron is believed to already be worth $150 million, and has an estimated 2.3 billion locked-up tokens, which could be valued at $525 million when they are able to be sold.

“He has been actively pursuing successful ventures for several years,” a source told People. “Turning 20 is indeed a turning point for him as he gets older and wants to engage with projects that not only interest him, but will make him a lot of money.”

“Barron is interested in developing real estate in areas where he sees growth, especially keeping up with trends of younger buyers,” the source said. “I think the next phase of his life will include property development as well as other projects that he has researched enough to know they will be profitable.”

A political source observed that Trump’s close relationship with his mother, Melania, has greatly shaped his personality.

“Barron is a carbon copy of his father, yet he is blessed without the elder’s brashness,” the source said. “He is more like his mother with a European aloof and quiet sophistication.”

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi mentioned Trump’s birthday during a dinner at the White House on Thursday night.

“Tomorrow is the birthday of your son, Mr. Barron Trump, and I know he has grown up so much, into a very tall, good-looking gentleman. As I see you, Donald, it is very clear where he got it. Of course, from his parents, there is no doubt about it. So if Donald, if I may ask you, please convey my sincere happy birthday wishes to him,” she said with President Trump by her side.

USA Today pointed out that Barron is at least 6-foot-7, though there are conflicting reports.

First lady Melania Trump told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo in January that Barron is an “incredible young man.”

“This time it’s very different, because he’s 19 years old and [the] first time he was 10 years old,” she added, regarding the family’s return to the White House. “He understands politics, he gives advice to his father, we talk about it, so very different.”

In December 2024, Melania credited Barron with helping Donald Trump get re-elected by encouraging his father to appear on podcasts that young men watch.

“Because nowadays, the younger generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore. They are all on the tablets. They’re on the phones and all of these podcasts and streamers,” Melania noted.

“He was very vocal, and he gave advice to his father. And it was incredible how he brought in success, because he knew exactly who his father needed to contact and to talk to,” she said.

In particular, Barron reportedly told President Trump to go on various podcasts — such as “The Joe Rogan Experience,” influencer Adin Ross’ stream on Kick, “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” and the “PBD Podcast” with businessman Patrick Bet-David.

Altogether, Trump’s appearances racked up over 80 million views.

He won the 18-29-year-old male voter demographic 56 to 42 percent.

Young women also moved in Trump’s direction, shifting from 33 percent support in 2020 to 40 percent in 2024, according to a Tufts survey.

Overall, the Republican candidate garnered 46 percent of the demographic in 2024, up from 36 percent in 2020.

Stephen Miller’s Wife Grills Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche During Podcast on Why the FBI Hasn’t Arrested Deep State ‘Traitors’ Like Clapper, Comey, and Brennan

Katie Miller, the fierce and unapologetic wife of top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, put Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on the hot seat during a recent episode of her podcast.

The grilling came just days before Blanche and Attorney General Pam Bondi were set to face the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door session on the long-overdue release of Jeffrey Epstein files.

Miller didn’t waste time getting to the heart of what many Americans are asking: where is the accountability?

Referencing the DOJ’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and its sprawling web of elite connections, Miller framed the issue in stark terms.

“The moms are desperate to know because they want to be protectors of kids… Do you think you’ve failed them thus far?”

More from The Independent:

Blanche launched into a defense of the DOJ’s release of 3.5 million government documents on Epstein in compliance with the passage of the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act through Congress late last year.

“I mean, no, not in any way, shape or form,” he answered. “When I hear this narrative that we are letting down victims or that we are failing victims… I want to make sure people know that every day we fight for victims.”

Moving on to the circumstances of Epstein’s death, which a coroner determined to be the result of suicide, Miller asked Blanche whether he accepted the ruling or believed he had been murdered at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Brooklyn.

[…]

“Do the cameras in the jail fail frequently or just in this specific case?” she asked. “No time of death was ever determined, only that his body was discovered [at] 6.30 a.m. the next morning. Why couldn’t investigators establish a clearer timeline?”

“That’s a good question,” Blanche conceded. “And it’s one of the failures, right? What happened with Epstein leads to these type of fair questions about what happened that night.”

Not finished there, Miller asked her guest whether any potential connection was ever investigated between Epstein and the notorious Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which evolved into the QAnon movement, and alleged that a secret sex trafficking operation existed, run by elite Democrats, including Hillary Clinton.

“Well the Pizzagate conspiracy theory has been debunked repeatedly by law enforcement, not by me, by law enforcement,” Blanche answered.

“Sure, it was totally debunked,” Miller came back. “And then you look at what happened with Epstein, where a wealthy, well-connected man was actually trafficking underage girls in elite circles. And then you begin to think, ‘Hmm, maybe things aren’t a real conspiracy theory?’”

The real fireworks, however, erupted when Miller turned to the elephant in the room: the blatant lack of accountability for the Deep State operatives who weaponized federal agencies against President Trump and the American people.

“Why haven’t we arrested Clapper, Comey, Brennan? So many traitors to our country. Why haven’t we done more to hold people accountable?” Miller demanded, echoing the frustration of millions who watched these figures lead endless witch hunts against Trump for purely political reasons.

Blanche’s response was cautious, some would say evasive.

Todd Blanche:
I think that—well, first of all—I’m not going to talk about any ongoing investigations, and I can’t. But I think the Attorney General, myself, and Director Patel are focused on nothing more than accountability.

Katie Miller:
These are people who waged witch hunts against President Trump for purely political purposes. Yet I’m sure they’re all guilty of committing various crimes—which I know you can’t comment on, so we’ll give you a pass. But don’t you agree that we should hold people accountable who do these types of things?

Todd Blanche:
I think there’s nothing more important in the Department of Justice than accountability. Yes, I agree with that.

Elon Musk Offers to Personally Pay TSA Workers’ Salaries as Partial DHS Shutdown Leaves Them Unpaid for Over a Month

 

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has offered to cover the salaries of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel during the ongoing partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The shutdown, which began in February, stems from the Democrats forcing a funding standoff in Congress over the DHS budget.

Democrats have pushed to separate TSA funding from broader DHS operations, including immigration enforcement.

As a result, approximately 50,000 essential TSA officers, who are required to continue working, have gone without pay for more than a month.

This is the third time in less than six months that TSA workers have faced missed paychecks due to funding lapses.

Many officers have reported severe financial strain, including reliance on food pantries, community donations, sleeping in cars, and taking on second jobs.

Airports nationwide have seen staffing shortages, with hundreds of TSA officers quitting, at least 366 confirmed by DHS, and others calling in sick.

This has led to massive security lines during peak spring break travel, with some airports warning that entire checkpoints or operations could shut down.

On Saturday, Musk offered to help.

“I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country,” Musk wrote in a post on his platform X.

The offer has drawn praise from Democrat Sen. John Fetterman, who called it “incredibly generous” and noted that TSA agents are relying on food pantries and donations to get by.

Fetterman remains the only Democrat to have voted with Republicans to fully fund DHS.

There has been no immediate official response from the TSA, DHS, or Congress on whether Musk’s offer could be accepted or implemented.

Back pay for federal workers is typically provided once funding is restored.
