Barron Trump May Become Chairman of TikTok Board

The 19-year-old son of U.S. President Donald Trump, Barron Trump, is being considered for the influential role of Chairman of the Board of TikTok.
This candidacy is emerging in the wake of a major agreement aimed at separating the platform from its Chinese owners — a step that could mark a defining moment for the app’s future in the United States.

Youth Leadership at the Forefront

Former Trump social media manager Jack Advent, 22, publicly expressed support for Barron’s appointment. He emphasized that young leaders can strengthen the platform’s appeal to its most active demographic — the youth.

“Young people make up the overwhelming majority of TikTok’s users. I hope President Trump will consider appointing his son Barron and other young Americans to the board of directors to ensure the platform remains something young people want to use,” Advent stated.

His statement resonated strongly with political observers, many of whom see this move as part of a broader strategy to blend technology, youth culture, and politics.

Barron Trump’s Current Path

Barron Trump has not yet issued any public comment on Advent’s proposal.
Currently, he continues his studies at the Washington campus of New York University, recently returning to the White House after classes. Observers note that his growing public presence could signal a new political chapter for the youngest Trump.

Trump’s Role in TikTok’s Future

President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that his administration “saved” TikTok, allowing millions of Americans to continue using the platform.
If Barron is appointed, it would symbolize not only a generational shift in leadership but also a deepening relationship between politics and digital platforms.
