A former Democratic megadonor believes Donald Trump‘s 18-year-old son Barron was smarter than every member of Kamala Harris‘ campaign because of the critical 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 going on Joe Rogan was one of the key turning points of the campaign.
He added that Harris should have never run for president, mocked her for trying to imitate President Barack Obama and said she should ‘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 he swept the swing states on the way to winning the popular vote.
It’s a strategy credited with helping Trump see a huge surge in support from male voters under the age of 45.
The president-elect’s three-hour interview with the podcaster on October 25 has more than 50 million views on YouTube.
In comparison, Harris’ appearance on the podcast ‘Call Her Daddy’ has failed to break one million downloads.
Despite negotiating with Rogan’s team, Harris never went on his show before her decisive defeat at the hands of Trump.
In the end Trump’s support grew in all 50 states, while Harris saw a decline of seven million votes from President Joe Biden’s total in his 2020 win.

Morgan slammed her aides for not doing more podcasts and other forms of media.
‘It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, “You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan»,’ he told Fox News on Wednesday night.
‘You know, he was three hours late to a rally because he was doing Joe Rogan because that was so important.
‘So Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris (campaign).
‘They said they didn’t go on Joe Rogan, the progressives around her – you heard what Carville said – the progressives didn’t want her to go on Joe Rogan.
Harris was accused of avoiding interviews when she replaced President Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket and didn’t pick up her rate of media appearances until the final weeks of the campaign.
‘Look, if I’m running, I’m going on Joe Rogan, I’m living on Fox. That’s how you change minds!
‘They played hide the ball, they lost badly. She should go away and never, ever 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 goes to Hawaii since Obama goes to Hawaii. She started talking like Obama, imitating Obama. She is not Barack Obama. She has no talent. She can never run for president again.
‘She was going to be tethered to Biden no matter what.’

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,’ said Trump, his eyes brimming with paternal pride. ‘Adin Ross, you know, I mean, I do some people that I wasn’t so familiar with, different generation. He knows every one of them. And we’ve had tremendous success.’
Polls showed Trump was trailing in younger voters, but Barron helped bridge the gap by using platforms that were new to Trump, who stumbled over the specifics as he tried to describe them.
‘We did three unusual .. I don’t know what you’d 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 all of them like friends of his, because it’s a different generation. They don’t grow up watching television the same way as we did. They grow up looking at the Internet or watching a computer, right?’
