Now 19 years old, Barron entered the inauguration ceremony held at the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC to applause and cheers, accompanied by his family. Dressed in a black suit with an American flag lapel pin and a blue tie, Barron stood behind the podium with a composed expression. Standing at 6 feet 9 inches (about 206 cm), he stood out even among Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.

What particularly caught the eye was his slicked-back hairstyle. Barron's slicked-back hair resembled President Trump's younger days. This was in stark contrast to when he attended his father's first inauguration at the age of 10. The New York Post reported, "American netizens unanimously said that although he cannot run for president for the next 17 years, his appearance gives a glimpse of his potential future."

American netizens paid close attention to every move Barron made. His serious expression as he entered the hall, the brief wave to the crowd, and his stance in front of the marble statue of Ulysses S. Grant all became topics of discussion. Netizens agreed, saying, "Barron will be in his father's place 20 years from now," suggesting a high possibility that he will become a future president. On X (formerly Twitter), posts included comments such as "Barron already seems ready," "He will be president in the future. That is already guaranteed," "Look at the future president," "His confident smile is so cool," and "He will do better than his father."

Meanwhile, Barron is evaluated to have played a significant role during this election campaign. Instead of relying on traditional news media, he helped Trump appear on popular podcast channels, greatly boosting support among young people. Barron is currently studying at the Stern School of Business at New York University, and according to People magazine, he is "very popular among female students." A source said, "Barron is tall and handsome. Many people find him quite attractive."
