A lip reader has spotted Donald Trump’s youngest son Barron Trump making a cryptic four-word comment to his half sister Ivanka Trump during the State of the Union address.

The US president gave a mammoth address to Congress overnight, delivered in his trademark bombastic tone. His family, including Melania, Ivanka and Barron, were in attendance to witness the nearly-two hour long speech.

It was the first time since his father’s inauguration that 19-year-old Barron had been seen in public. Throughout the event, he was seen chatting to his half-sister and lip reader Jeremy Freeman has now picked up on one conversation.

According to Jeremy, Ivanka turned to Barron and asked: “What are you doing on…?” but was unable to pick up the final word. In response, somewhat cryptically, Barron replied: “I’m not sure, I couldn’t be arsed.”

What Ivanka may have been asking Barron about is not known, but in recent years there has been increased interest in Barron after he appeared at his first campaign rally in the build up to the 2024 US Election.

There has even been speculation that Trump’s youngest son could enter politics like his father and attempt to build a career in this field after the completion of his studies.

Furthermore, Barron has been credited with helping his father win over younger male voters in the build up to the last US election with a report suggesting that Trump asked his campaign team to talk things over with his youngest son when it came to podcast appearances.

According to the 3,800-word report by Time’s Eric Cortellessa, Trump’s campaign chair Susie Wiles asked campaign advisor Alex Bruesewitz to come up with a list of podcasts Trump could go on.

When he was presented with the list, the report says that Trump replied: “Have you talked this over with Barron?” After Mr Bruesewitz said that he hadn’t, Trump is said to have replied: “Call Barron and see what he thinks and let me know.”

Barron’s appearance at his father’s State of the Union address came on the same day as the fourth anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine, something his father claimed he would end in a day.

Whilst the USA has plenty of pressing matters to deal with, it was suggested that Trump may spend some more time discussing the conflict that continues to rage into its fifth year.

However, analysis of the speech, the longest State of the Union address in history, shows that Trump spent just 20 seconds on the war in Ukraine before pressing on, reports the Mirror US.

After talking about ending eight ward, Trump commented: “We’re working very hard to end the ninth war. The killing and slaughter between Russia and Ukraine, where 25,000 soldiers are dying each and every month.

“A war which would have never happened if I were president. As president, I will make peace wherever I can, but I will not hesitate to confront threats to America.”
