Barron Trump heard his father speaking to the UFC’s Dana White in a clip

A video clip of President-elect Donald Trump and his son Barron speaking to UFC founder Dana White went viral on Wednesday as social media users noted that it was the first time they had heard the 18-year-old’s voice heard.

The 17-second clip from the documentary series “Art of the Surge,” which chronicles Trump’s recent presidential campaign, shows President-elect White introducing his youngest son on election night.

“Hello. How are you? “It’s very good to see you,” Barron says to a woman off camera, shaking her hand before turning his attention to the UFC boss.

Trump, 78, notes that his plus-sized son, who rarely appeared on the campaign trail, is well-liked by his supporters.

“I called out to him last night, the place has gone crazy: Bar-on, bar-on,” Trump tells White, possibly referring to a campaign rally.

Then Barron shakes White’s hand.

“Hello. How are you? It’s very nice to finally meet you,” says the former and future first son.

The president-elect seems surprised that the two have never met before.

He then asks White, who introduced Trump at the Republican National Convention earlier this year: “Can we make him a fighter?”

The joke drew laughter from viewers and a shake of the head from Barron, who apparently didn’t want to participate in cage fighting.

The “Art of the Surge” snippet sparked a flood of comments from people who claimed they had never heard Barron speak before.

“First time I heard Barron talk,” one comment on the video said.

“Barron has his father’s speaking rhythm!” one X user said of the New York University student’s voice.

“Sounds like Timothée Chalamet,” another person said, comparing Barron’s voice to that of the Hollywood actor.

“Barron is such a gentleman,” one person said of the teen’s interactions with Trump’s guests on election night.

Trump said Barron was influential in getting him to do interviews on alternative media outlets, such as Joe Rogan’s popular podcast, during his campaign.

Trump’s appearances on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” “Flagrant” with comedian Andrew Schulz, the “PBD Podcast” with businessman Patrick Bet-David and other podcasts have attracted tens of millions of views and streams on-line.

Vice President Kamala Harris largely avoided giving interviews during her campaign until she launched a media offensive — with mostly friendly media — in the final weeks before Election Day.
