Donald Trump thinks 19-year-old Barron is a tech whizz because he can turn on a laptop – 16 funniest reactions
At almost 79 years old, Donald Trump is far removed from the generations who grew up with computer technology at their fingertips. That fact was highlighted during the extended infomercial for Tesla that took place at the White House last week, when he was blown away by the cars’ interface.

However, that paled in comparison to how low Trump has set the bar for describing someone as having ‘an unbelievable aptitude in technology’. He raved about his youngest son, Barron, during an interview with Fox News presenter, Laura Ingraham.
Donald Trump on his son Barron: “He can look at a computer… I turn off his laptop, I said, ‘Oh good,’ and I go back about five minutes later, he’s got his laptop, I say, ‘How do you do that?’.. He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology." pic.twitter.com/YSsM6EJU1J

We have absolutely no doubt that Gen Z Barron can do things on a computer that would blow his dad’s tiny mind, such as download a file, add an attachment to an e-mail, set up an image folder, and even spell ‘stolen’ correctly. But it was Donald Trump’s lack of tech savvy that put him in the firing line for some hefty internet mockery.
These summed up the situation perfectly.

BREAKING: In a bizarre moment, the President of the United States expresses astonishment that his college age son can turn a laptop on after he turned it off, wondering "How'd you do that?" This is abnormal.

Before you make fun of Barron Trump, try turning a laptop back on that’s been turned off, okay?
