Donald Trump did a sit-down interview in Bedminster, New Jersey, with popular podcast host Theo Von.

Barron Trump reportedly is a big fan of his podcast, ‘This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von,’ and told his father, ‘Dad, he’s big.’

The interview, which premiered on Tuesday, has garnered around 6.5 million views.

“Barron Trump also got his father to give an interview to influencer Logan Paul,” the Washington Examiner noted.

As a result, there’s speculation Trump’s 18-year-old son is advising him on what podcasts he should appear on to reach younger voters.

In the interview with Theo Von, Trump discussed his family.

Daily Mail reports:

Trump candidly discussed his family during the chat as he praised Barron’s brains and brawn.

‘He plays golf, soccer, he is very good at soccer. He is a good athlete, Barron,’ he told the host.

‘He’s getting set to go in the fall. A good college. He’s smart – smart guy. He was always a very good student, smart, he’s a smart guy,’ Trump said.

Trump previously confirmed Barron would be attending college in New York, but he is yet to announce which school.

Trump also gushed about the the traits he admires most in his other two sons, Donald Trump Jr., 46, and Eric Trump, 40.

‘Don is a hunter, a great, great hunter and knows everything about that world and guns and all,’ said Trump.

In fact, he said Donald Trump Jr. was the first person to give him a reality check about his attempted assassination, emphasizing how miraculous it was that his father was still alive.

Trump also discussed how his experience with his brother, Fred Trump Jr., influenced him to stay away from drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes.

From the Washington Examiner:

The two also discussed Trump’s teetotaling — the former president talked about how the experience with his alcoholic brother, Fred Trump, affected him enough to never touch drugs or alcohol.

“I had a great brother who taught me a lesson: Don’t drink, don’t drink,” he said. “And he said, ‘Don’t smoke’ — he smoked and he drank. And he was a great guy, he was a handsome, very handsome guy.

“He had a problem with alcohol and smoked a lot,” Trump continued. “You know I tell people: No drugs, no drinking, no cigarettes. I tell that to my kids all the time.”

Von touched on his past struggles with alcohol and drugs, describing the effects of cocaine to Trump.

“Cocaine will turn you into a d*** owl, homie,” Von said. “You’ll be your own streetlamp. It’s a miserable feeling, but you do it anyway.”

The interview was the latest round in the former president’s alternative media blitz. His conversation with Ross, another favorite of Barron Trump’s, was a 90-minute stream that 500,000 people watched live, with another 100 million listening after, according to Trump.
