Barron Trump Receives Job Proposal That Might Be Key To Keep Gen Z Scrolling
Barron Trump’s expertise on Gen Z could turn into work.
“I hope that President Trump will consider appointing his son Barron and perhaps other young Americans to TikTok’s board of directors to ensure that it remains an app that young people want to continue to use,” Jack Advent, President Donald Trump’s former TikTok producer, told the Daily Mail.

Trump nicknamed Advent “TikTok Jack” on the campaign trail.
TikTok remains available for download in the United States as details emerge regarding changes to the app’s ownership and licensing.
Trump signed an executive order “saving TikTok from a ban while protecting US national security” on September 25. The proposed framework agreement would see majority ownership of the app transferred to US investors. ByteDance, the Chinese company that developed TikTok, reportedly owns less than 20% of the company’s shares.
Trump returned to TikTok with a video announcement on Monday.

“To all these young people on TikTok, I saved TikTok, so you owe me a lot,” Trump said. “And now you’re looking at me in the Oval Office.”
It’s literally true, yes.
“President Trump kept his promise to save TikTok and the millions of Americans who run their businesses and get their information unfiltered through the app,” Advent told the Daily Mail in response to the deal.

As for Barron Trump’s role on TikTok’s board, one can only speculate.
The 19-year-old has provided some good advice in the past. He encouraged his father to appear on Theo Von’s podcast during the 2024 election season. (RELATED: DHS Apparently Deletes ‘Banger’ Deportation Video After Famous Comedian Backlash)
“[Barron Trump] said, “Dad, you have to do an interview with a guy named Theo Von.” I asked, “Who the hell is Theo Von?” “, Trump said in a speech.
“He said, ‘Dad, he’s such a big guy, you have to do an interview.’ So he knew all the names. I didn’t know the names.
Advent says he hopes Barron Trump can help keep young Americans on TikTok. The app doesn’t seem to hurt engagement. The short video proved so mesmerizing that most other social media apps – Facebook, Instagram, X – integrated it into their platforms.
Maybe a TikTok advised by Barron Trump would relax censorship. If only because it is difficult to bear when someone replaces “kills” or “murders” with “non-living”.
