President Donald Trump suggested in an interview aired Wednesday that Barron Trump may not follow in his footsteps. (Watch the video below.)
Asked by Fox News’ Laura Ingraham if his youngest son’s aptitude was in politics or business, the president replied: “Maybe technology.”
The elder Trump relayed a confusing anecdote about Barron’s computer acumen that didn’t quite land, but clearly he was impressed.
“How’d you do that?” Trump said he asked Barron. “None of your business, Dad” was his reply, according to the president.
“He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology,” Trump said.
Earlier in the second part of her White House interview with Trump, Ingraham noted that the scion was to turn 19 on Thursday and asked the president about his future.
Trump said Barron, a freshman in NYU’s Stern School of Business, still may wind up in business. “Barron’s a very smart guy,” he said.
