John Morgan, a prominent former Democratic megadonor, pointed out that 18-year-old Barron Trump played a strategic role by encouraging his father, Donald Trump, to participate in several significant podcast appearances.
According to Morgan, this approach was beneficial in helping Trump secure the 2024 presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Morgan noted that while Harris opted for fewer high-profile interviews, Trump’s decision to engage with popular hosts like Joe Rogan and Theo Von proved advantageous. Their in-depth discussions have garnered impressive viewership, amassing over 67 million views combined on YouTube. …CONTINUE READING
This contrast in campaign strategies highlights the importance of visibility and engagement in modern political campaigns.
“It turns out that Baron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, you need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,” Morgan said of the 18-year-old during a November 27 interview with Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News.
“He [Trump] was three hours late to a rally because he was doing Joe Rogan, because that was so important,” he added. “So, Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [team]. If I’m running, I’m going on Joe Rogan, I’m living on Fox. That’s how you change minds.”
Morgan claimed Harris “played hide the ball” by choosing not to do as many high-profile interviews and “lost badly” because of it.
Elsewhere in their chat, he also criticized Trump’s political opponent for allegedly imitating former President Barack Obama at her campaign events.
“[Harris] thinks she’s Obama. She goes to Hawaii since Obama goes to Hawaii. She started talking like Obama,” he continued. “She is not Barack Obama.”
As OK! previously reported, the president-elect’s senior advisor Jason Miller confirmed Barron had been “very involved in selecting or recommending, I should say, a number of the podcasts that we should do.”
“I got to tell you, hats off to the young man,” he noted. “Every single recommendation he’s had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that’s broken the internet. He’s done a great job.”
Lara Trump also praised her nephew for his role in Donald winning the White House.
“He’s like the sleeper. He’s kind of stayed out of the spotlight intentionally,” she revealed earlier this month. “There have been many times I’ve been traveling during the campaign with my father-in-law in the car, going to places, and Barron would call, and he’ll say, ‘Dad, I have an idea as to how you can get more votes.'”
Meanwhile, during the campaign, Seyi made the appeal for votes on behalf of his father when he paid a visit to the National President of Miyetti-Allah Kautal Hore in company of members of City Boy Youth Movement (CBYM) at the Miyetti-Allah headquarters in Tudun Wada, Karu local government area of Nasarawa state.
Seyi who was confered with the chieftancy tittle, “Sokajo Fulbe” meaning Ambassador of the Fulani youth urged youths to ensure they perform their civic right by give voting the APC presidential candidate in the forthcoming February 25th general elections.
” Let us all go and collect our PVC before the deadline and vote APC, the Tinubu/Shettima led administration will carry the youths along as priority as it is seen and stated in the manifesto.”
