But Donald Trump's youngest son Barron, 18, has quietly blossomed into an engaging young man who has leading conservatives purring over his charm and political acumen, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Sources tell us the strapping 6ft 7in teen who has never uttered a word in public is nonetheless a steadfast supporter of the Trump 2024 campaign behind the scenes.

And – perhaps more ominously for the former President's Democratic opponents – he's also expressed an interest in following in his 77-year-old father's footsteps.

'Barron is handsome, tall - taller even than his father - and very knowledgeable for someone his age. He's also far more politically interested than people realize,' an insider told DailyMail.com.

'I see all the attributes of a future President if he has the appetite for it. And why not? He has the Trump genes.'

Barron, who turned 18 in March, is said to be increasingly comfortable with the idea of taking on a more visible role like his older siblings, Ivanka, Donald Jr, Eric and Tiffany.

Melania, 54, is also ready to give her son more space to be his own man, according to our source - though she'll continue to hawkishly guard his interests as her husband bids for the Presidency and battles on multiple legal fronts.

'While he was still a minor she zealously protected him and we knew very little about the details of his daily life,' our source added.

'I think he's allowed to make more decisions for himself now. He can invite anyone to dinner he wishes. He's slowly becoming more public.'

Barron has used his newfound freedom to schmooze a cadre of high-profile conservative figures, recently inviting the Iranian-American business mogul Patrick Bet-David to Mar-a-Lago.

Bet-David, worth an estimated $450 million, was impressed enough to tell listeners of his PDB podcast: 'For an hour and a half we just watched Barron run dinner with stories, entertainment. Oh my God. Everything.'

He described his young host as 'sharp, funny, sarcastic, tough - not weak.' In another clip posted to TikTok, Bet-David, 45, praised Barron's good manners and humility, calling him a 'freaking stud of a kid.'

Bet-David said on his podcast Barron told him, 'It's officially fair game to come after me,' apparently referring to the media and Trump's opponents. 'I don't care. Good, do it. They've gone and done it to every kid.'

Podcast guest Adam Sosnick shared an anecdote from dinner when loud music started blaring through the speakers and they looked over to see none other than Donald Trump was the DJ.

Sosnick said, 'Barron's like ''My freakin' dad is the DJ'' and you see the President on his iPad, the light's in his face,' playing Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor.

Sosnick added, 'He was smart on politics, he says ''you know everybody's always going to fight, there's left, there's right.'''

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.

Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.

“We have a great delegation of grassroots leaders, elected officials and even Trump family members,” Florida GOP chairman Evan Power said. “Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly we are preparing to win Florida and win it big.”

Trump’s position as a delegate will be his highest-profile political role thus far.
