During Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony, a moment between his son, Barron Trump, and former President Joe Biden caught public attention. As Barron, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall, shook Biden’s hand, many noticed a shift in Biden’s expression after a brief exchange between them. This sparked curiosity and speculation online about what Barron could have said to cause such a reaction.
A lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, analyzed the interaction and suggested that Biden greeted Barron with “It’s good to see you, man,” to which Barron replied with “Exactly.” This response seemed unusual, given the context, and may explain Biden’s confused expression afterward.
The viral moment was widely discussed on social media, with many viewers guessing that Barron might have made a more provocative comment, like “You’re done.” However, Freeman’s interpretation offered a more mundane explanation, though the speculation continued.
Meanwhile, Trump’s inauguration marked a series of executive orders and policy changes, including a stance on free speech, immigration, and the death penalty. These included withdrawing from the World Health Organization, halting a ban on TikTok, and a focus on limiting illegal immigration. Trump also announced controversial measures like renaming the Gulf of Mexico and empowering states to pursue the death penalty for certain crimes. His actions, alongside the attention on Barron’s encounter with Biden, kept the event in the media spotlight.
