Young men will win the election for Donald Trump.

And Barron, 18, is singled out as the unknown weapon behind a series of successes.

- Hats off to the young man, says the ex-president's adviser Jason Miller.

Trump told North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un that he "should relax and take a day at the beach" instead of "building up his nuclear weapons all the time."

He also suspects that there is life "that we don't yet know about" on Mars.

Want to reach even more young men

This and much more, the former president said in a three-hour long marathon interview with podcast star Joe Rogan - who has more than 14 million followers on Spotify and 17 million subscribers on Youtube.

He prioritized the interview so much that he arrived three hours late to a campaign rally in Michigan on Friday night.

And for Trump's campaign staff, it is a stated strategy to reach out to even more young men, writes the New York Post.

A possibly unexpected weapon has been used to end up right: the ex-president's youngest son Barron, 18.

"Hats off"

He has helped his 78-year-old father choose podcasts.

- Barron has been very involved in recommending a number of podcasts that we should do, says adviser Jason Miller in an interview with Politico according to the New York Post.

- I have to say, hats off to the young man. Every recommendation he has made has proven to be total gold in viewership.

On August 20, Trump appeared with YouTube star and comedian Theo Von, 44, in his "This Past Weekend."

That episode has been seen by 14 million people.

Stays in the background

- "Dad, he's big. He's the big one," Trump said during the interview about Barron's words that prompted him to appear on "This Past Weekend," according to the New York Post.

On October 9, the former president appeared in an interview with comedian Andrew Schulz that was seen by more than six million people.

Trump stated this spring that the son, despite being basically invisible during the father's presidential campaign and not participating in any campaign meetings, gives him strategic advice.

- He is a bit tall, I can say that. He's a tall one, but it's a good-looking guy. And he has been great at school. And he likes politics. It's pretty funny, Trump said in a radio interview in May.

- He says to me sometimes: "Dad, you have to do this".
