First Son Barron Trump is taking after his father’s entrepreneurial spirit after launching his own business venture. According to recent reports, the youngest son of President Donald Trump made a foray into the real estate industry, incorporating a business in July 2024. However, the venture dissolved shortly after Trump won the election in November.
The firm, Trump, Fulcher, & Roxborough Capital Inc., was established on July 15, 2024, but temporarily dissolved on November 14. Cameron Roxborough, a partner in the venture and a fellow alumnus of the elite Palm Beach Oxbridge Academy, which Barron attended, claimed that business activity was paused to avoid media scrutiny surrounding the election.
The business reportedly specializes in high-end properties around the country, such as golf courses. According to Roxborough, President Trump has not made any financial investments in the company but has provided advice, given his veteran status in the real estate industry. Furthermore, while there has been interest in formalizing the company as a subsidiary of the Trump Organization, no official actions have been taken to do so.
Aside from Barron getting his feet wet in real estate, reports suggest that he also assisted his father’s campaign in the months running up to the election. Trump’s 18-year-old son was reportedly instrumental in advising him on making high-profile podcast appearances, given Barron’s familiarity with Gen Z and how to reach those voters.
During a recent interview, Melania spoke about this topic, praising her son. “He is a grown young man. I’m very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving an advice to his father,” she said. “He brought in so many young people he knows his generation, because nowadays the young generation, they don’t sit in front of TV anymore. They’re all on the tablets, they’re on the phones and all of these podcasts and streamers.”
Barron’s mother continued, “He was very vocal, and he gave an advice to his father. And was incredible how he brought in a success, because he knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to.” President Trump has also applauded his son for these contributions he made to his campaign while speaking with Joe Rogan in October.
Trump said, “So I have a son who’s very smart and tall Barron, right? And he knows all about you. He knows about guys I never heard of. He said, ‘Dad, you don’t know how big they are. They’re big.’ I said, ‘Who the hell is he? Like Ross?” He added, “I mean, guys that are doing, it’s a whole new world out there. It’s a different world. And, you know, I’m on TikTok now. And I’ve done really well … Have you seen the numbers? Billions, like, billions of hits.” He added, “And I’ve done up 30 points. A Republican is always down 30 with young people. I’m plus 30 and I’m on Tiktok.”

Trump emphasized, “It’s had a huge impact.” Rogan weighed in, “I think young people are rejecting a lot of this woke bullsh*t. Young people are tired of being yelled at and scolded. They’re tired of these people that they think are mentally ill telling them what the moral standards of society should be today. And people are upset.”
