Labeled as AI-Generated: Our investigation traced the video to its original source: a YouTube channel called ViVO tunes, which posted it on February 4th. The creator marked the video as “Altered or synthetic content” and included a disclaimer: “This song and video was created with the help of AI technology and does not represent the thoughts or attitudes of the imitated artists in any way. The artist himself was not involved in this production.”

Further investigation of the ViVO tunes channel reveals it specializes in AI-generated content. The channel produces multiple AI-generated singing videos featuring Barron Trump and other public figures. These videos utilize AI technology to create realistic-looking performances with synthesized vocals and concert footage.

Barron Trump in the Public Eye

Barron Trump is the youngest son of Donald and Melania Trump. Born in 2006, he lived in New York with his mother during the early years of his father’s presidency (2017-2021) before relocating to Washington, D.C. He has pursued his education at private schools and enrolled at New York University’s Stern School of Business in 2024. Unlike his siblings Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany who are involved in business and politics, Barron maintains a lower profile, appearing primarily at formal events such as his father’s 2025 inauguration. This pattern of limited public appearances makes his participation in a televised talent show improbable. His latest public sighting was at NYU in early February 2025.

Conclusion

The viral video purportedly showing Barron Trump on America’s Got Talent is false and it was created using AI technology. The creator clearly labeled it as synthetic content, and no evidence exists of Barron Trump ever appearing on the show.
