Who expected this?
John Morgan, the founder of Morgan & Morgan and former Democrat donor, made waves on Fox News Wednesday, asserting that Barron Trump, the teenage son of former President Donald Trump, played a pivotal role in helping his father defeat Vice President Kamala Harris. According to Morgan, Barron pushed his father to embrace new forms of media, urging him to appear on podcasts like The Joe Rogan Experience, which ultimately helped connect Trump with a broad audience.
“It looks like Barron Trump, who resembles a runway model, was informing his father, ‘You have to go on podcasts, you have to appear on Joe Rogan,’” Morgan said, highlighting the younger Trump’s savvy understanding of modern media.
Morgan pointed out that while the Harris campaign made an effort to engage with podcasts during the election, none of their appearances were on shows with the massive reach of Rogan’s. He contrasted Trump’s widely successful October 25 appearance on Rogan’s show, which has garnered over 50 million views, with Harris’ appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, which has barely cracked 1 million views since its release in early October.
“Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris campaign,” Morgan remarked, adding that progressives were unwilling to engage with the influential Joe Rogan Experience, a critical mistake in a media landscape that demands outreach to younger and more diverse audiences.
Morgan didn’t hold back in his criticism of Harris, describing her as a poor imitation of former President Barack Obama, who had heavily campaigned for her. “She thinks she’s Obama,” Morgan quipped, referencing her attempts to mimic Obama’s style and even visit Hawaii, a place the former president is closely associated with. “She is not Barack Obama. She has no talent,” Morgan concluded. He also reiterated his belief that Harris should never run for president again, as she will always be tethered to Biden’s legacy.
Ultimately, Morgan’s remarks serve as a sharp critique of both the Biden administration’s choices and Harris’ inability to truly connect with voters in a way that Trump, with Barron’s help, managed to do.
