A former Democratic megadonor believes Donald Trump’s 18-year-old son Barron was smarter than any member of Kamala Harris’ campaign because of the crucial role he played in pushing his father to appear on podcasts.
In a brutal assessment of the vice president’s loss, Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan said Trump’s departure for Joe Rogan was one of the key turning points of the campaign.
He added that Harris should never have run for president, mocked her for trying to imitate President Barack Obama and told her to “go away and never come back.”
Barron is said to have had the final say on his father’s podcast appearances during the campaign, before crossing swing states on his way to winning the popular vote.
It’s a strategy that has helped Trump see a huge wave of support among male voters under 45.
The president-elect’s three-hour interview with the podcaster on Oct. 25 has been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube.
By comparison, Harris’ appearance on the podcast “Call Her Daddy” failed to break one million downloads.
Despite negotiations with Rogan’s team, Harris never went on his show before her decisive defeat at the hands of Trump.
Ultimately, support for Trump grew in all fifty states. while Harris saw a drop of seven million votes from President Joe Biden’s total in his 2020 victory.

Morgan blasted her assistants for not doing more podcasts and other forms of media.
“It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, told his dad, ‘You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,'” he told Fox News Wednesday night.
“You know, he was three hours late to a meeting because he was driving Joe Rogan, because that was so important.
“So Barron Trump is a lot smarter than anyone in the Harris (campaign).
“They said they weren’t going after Joe Rogan, the progressives around her – you heard what Carville said – the progressives didn’t want her to go after Joe Rogan.
Harris was accused of avoiding interviews as she replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket and only increased her number of media appearances in the final weeks of the campaign.
“Look, when I run, I run for Joe Rogan, I live for Fox. This is how you change your mind!
‘They played hide and seek and lost badly. She should leave and never come back. She spent almost $2 billion.
‘They’re raising money this week to pay off the debt! If you can’t run your campaign, you damn sure can’t run the country.’
Morgan also mocked Harris for trying to imitate former Obama.
“(Harris) thinks she’s Obama,” Morgan said.
“She’s been going to Hawaii since Obama goes to Hawaii. She started talking like Obama and imitating Obama. She’s not Barack Obama. She has no talent. She can never run for president again.
“She was going to be tied to Biden no matter what.”

Morgan added that Harris should never have run for president, mocked her for trying to imitate President Barack Obama and told her to “go away and never come back.”
In September, Trump told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview that Barron was the driving force behind the shift in focus from mainstream media to YouTube, influencers and podcasters.
“He knows so much about it,” Trump said, with a look of fatherly pride. “Adin Ross, you know, I mean, I’m doing some people that I wasn’t that familiar with, from a different generation. He knows them all. And we’ve had tremendous success.”
Polls showed Trump lagging behind among younger voters, but Barron helped bridge the gap by using platforms that were new to Trump, who stumbled over the details as he tried to describe them.
“We have three unusual… I don’t know what you would call them, but it’s a platform with three people that I don’t know, but three people that Barron knows very well,” he said.
“He actually calls them all friends of his because it’s a different generation. They don’t grow up watching television the same way we do. They grow up with the internet or a computer, right?’
