President-elect Donald Trump joked with UFC boss Dana White about his youngest son becoming a fighter in a video clip that has gone viral.

The short video previews an upcoming episode from the documentary series, “The Art of the Surge” and the brief moment Barron Trump is heard speaking has erupted on social media.

The 18-year-old son of the incoming president and his wife Melania Trump captured hearts on X as viewers reacted to the sound of his adult voice. The privacy of the youngest Trump son has been fiercely protected by his parents with his mother making sure to be hands-on in his upbringing despite the family’s constant media exposure.

Wearing a suit, the towering teen and college freshman is seen standing alongside his father in behind-the-scenes footage from Election Night in Mar-a-Lago.

“It’s very nice to see you,” Barron said to someone off-camera as he reached out for a handshake.

“I gave him a shout-out last night, the place went crazy: Ba-rron, Ba-rron,” Trump was heard telling White before his son reached over to greet the UFC founder.

“‘Hello. How are you? Very nice to finally meet you,” he said as his father joked to White, “Can we make him into a fighter?”

The clip went viral, with many X users amazed by the sound of Barron’s voice.

He sounds just like young Donald!

The former and future president may have been joking about his son training for a Mixed Martial Arts fight, but he has previously spoken about how we would not stand in the way of Barron’s pursuit of a sport, even football which he said is “really tough.”

“It’s a dangerous sport,” Trump told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in a 2019 interview. “If he wanted to? Yes. Would I steer him that way? No, I wouldn’t.”

The 18-year-old, who is in the first semester of his freshman year at New York University, was showered with praise on X as the clip of him speaking went viral.

Oh my God, even the way he talks is like Trump’s! And taught the right manners!

The eye contact. Most 18-year-olds don’t shake hands and introduce themselves like that.

I’ll admit, I was nervous his voice might not match given the total blackout on Baron clips

With this piece of the puzzle, it’s clear from an optics perspective he’s got all the right stuff

In a decade we’ll have a clearer picture of who he is, could be a great leader
