Barron Trump's Working 'Customer Service,' Millionaire Says

Barron Trump was recently praised by a millionaire entrepreneur for his sincerity, with the son of the former president being credited for providing "customer service" to others like himself.

Patrick Bet-David, an Iranian-American businessman and conservative political commentator, hosts the Valuetainment and PBD Podcast channels on YouTube.

In a recent video posted on social media channels including TikTok and X, Bet-David said he was highly impressed by the humble nature of Barron Trump given his age and family—calling him the "most interesting 18-year-old I've ever met."

"Yesterday, we're with Barron Trump. Barron's a very interesting guy—the son of Donald Trump, 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8. We're doing a podcast with [professional boxer] Ryan Garcia. He stays there and he walks—he says, 'Let me walk you to your car.' The son of a billionaire who's a president says, 'Let me walk you to your car.'

"He's working customer service. He walks us to our car and he's standing there until we get in our car to leave. He says, 'Look, no matter what I do, no matter what my brothers do, no matter how much money we make—our success will never come close to what our father had to do 'cause he really had the hard life, not us. We have an easy life.'"

Barron, who in March turned 18, was called "a freaking stud" by Bet-David. The businessman founded PHP Agency, an insurance marketing organization, at age 30 and has a net worth exceeding $450 million.

Newsweek reached out to Bet-David via the Valuetainment company for comment.

In October 2018, the New York Times reported a discrepancy in the story Donald Trump told about how he accumulated his wealth.

The report said that Trump received at least $413 million from his father, Fred, over the course of decades primarily due to participating "in dubious tax schemes during the 1990s, including instances of outright fraud, that greatly increased the fortune he received from his parents."

The former president and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee has long portrayed himself as self-made, starting with a $1 million loan from his father.

Donald Trump's ongoing hush money criminal trial in Manhattan is reported to impede his plans to attend Barron's high school graduation, though not because of Judge Juan Merchan or the trial.

The ex-president is scheduled to give the keynote address at the Minnesota Republican Party's annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner on May 17, which is the same day he requested off court to attend his son's ceremony.

Merchan said at the onset of the proceedings that it will "not be a problem" for Trump to attend his son's graduation.

It remains unclear where Barron Trump will go to college.
