Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump was a critical part of President-elect Donald Trump's winning campaign.
During a stop by "Fox & Friends" on Friday, the soon-to-be first lady said her 18-year-old son with Trump was “very vocal” about how his father should reach out to young people.
"He brought in so many young people," she said. "He knows his generation."
"Nowadays, the young generation doesn't sit in front of TV anymore," she continued. "It was incredible how he brought in success. He knew exactly who his father needed to contact and talk to."
Melania's interview confirmed a report by Time that Barron acted as his father's unofficial new media consultant. The outlet's post-mortem of the election revealed that Donald Trump was approached in July by a GOP operative carrying a list of podcast appearances to consider.
"Have you talked this over with Barron?" Trump reportedly said. "Call Barron and see what he thinks and let me know."
The morning show also played a viral clip of typically silent Barron speaking, juxtaposing it with a clip of him as an eight-year-old. In the 2010 video, Barron still carries a Slovenian accent to match his mother's.
"I'm very proud of him about his [knowledge of politics] and giving advice to his father," she said.
