At Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration in January, a brief handshake between 19-year-old Barron Trump and Joe Biden went viral, with many online viewers insisting Barron told the outgoing president to \u201cgo f*** yourself.\u201d A lip-reader later suggested the exchange was simple and polite \u2014 Biden saying, \u201cIt\u2019s good to see you man,\u201d and Barron responding, \u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eric Trump has now clarified what really happened. Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show<\/em>, he said the rumors were completely false. After asking Barron directly, Eric shared that his younger brother actually said something respectful, like \u201cCongratulations and best of luck to you.\u201d He emphasized that Barron would never speak rudely to a president, even if he might think it privately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eric described Barron as a kind, courteous young man \u2014 someone who naturally shows respect in formal situations. Additional footage of the moment later showed Barron also shaking Kamala Harris\u2019s hand, which earned him praise from viewers who called him a \u201cgentleman\u201d with genuine \u201cclass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the end, what some believed was a rude remark turned out to be nothing more than a polite exchange between two political families during a historic transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration in January, a brief handshake between 19-year-old Barron Trump and Joe Biden went viral, with many online viewers insisting Barron told the outgoing… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":501,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19168,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19166\/revisions\/19168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
