(NewsNation) — Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron, 18, and conservative influencer Bo Loudon, 17, are attempting to help the former president attract younger voters, through an appearance on social media with a YouTube star who has millions of followers.
The tech-savvy teens reportedly lined up Trump’s interview last week at Mar-a-Lago with internet celebrity and live streamer Adin Ross.
The controversial interview reached more than 500,000 viewers and 100 million listened, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Ross is a 23-year-old influencer who gained his following through videos of himself playing video games.

Barron Trump made his political debut at his father’s rally in July after being largely absent from the campaign trail.
He’s the youngest of the former president’s children. Trump’s other sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have often been seen at campaign events for their father.
Trump boasted about his son, saying the college-bound Barron got into every school to which he applied. His comments were met with enthusiasm from the audience as the former president described Barron as a “very good guy.”
