Barron Trump's 'best friend' Bo Loudon is influencer who flaunts his lavish lifestyle
The 18-year-old social media star describes himself as a 'pro-Trump influencer' and has recently taken pride in getting TikTok personality Khaby Lame deported.
When Bo's not acting as the political party's mouthpiece - or wearing an ICE-emblazoned cap, he's busy showing off his lavish lifestyle, including hanging out with celebrities and traveling by private jet.
Here, we take a closer look at Bo from his upbringing with his ultra-Republican parents to his 'inseparable' friendship with 19-year-old Barron.
Bo, who hails from Palm Beach, Florida, was born to Gina Loudon and John William Loudon in August 2006 and is one of their five children.
His mother is a conservative media personality and former co-chair of Women for Trump in 2020, while his father is a former Republican member of the Missouri State for the 7th District and former member of the Missouri House of Representatives.
Both parents are members Mar-a-Largo, Trump's notorious private members club located in Palm Beach, Florida, and they have been outspoken about their support for the President.
Notably, Gina and John appeared in an episode of the reality television show Wife Swap in 2013, where they swapped with polyamorous and bisexual family, the Envys.
At the end of the two-week swap, Gina and John refused to participate in the roundtable discussion with the other couple, the first time in the show's history.
Bo's parents' affinity for right-wing politics meant that he was only a youngster when he attended his first Republican National Convention, with reports claiming he attended his first rally in 2016 at just nine years old.
Three years later, Bo made his first social media post, a photo of himself and his brother with Trump and Melania.
In May 2024, a source told Daily Mail that he and Barron are 'inseparable' when they are both at home in Florida.
The insider said: 'Bo is very ideological and extremely Pro-Trump. He's over at Mar-a-Lago every night that Barron is home. The two of them are inseparable.'
Together, the duo are said to be key players in organizing Trump's media appearances, and reportedly set up his 90-minute interview with Kick influencer Adin Ross, which was watched live by 500,000 people.
The duo have also pressed him to forge close links with their favorite content creators, from YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul to billionaire business mogul Patrick Bet-David, host of the PBD podcast.
'He has no issues turning to them for advice on a subject that many of his middle-aged campaign aides wouldn't have much of a clue about.'
Although Barron has remained out of the limelight and off social media, Bo has amassed close to 350,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok and Twitter – where he proudly declares 'Gen-Z stands with Trump.'
His feed is filled with pro-Trump videos, critiques of the 'fake news' media and photos taken with leading conservatives such as Donald Trump Jr., Tucker Carlson and UFC mogul Dana White.
Bo is often seen rubbing shoulders with celebrities too.
In recent years, he has uploaded photos of himself hanging out with famous faces, including the likes of Snoop Dogg, Dennis Quaid, Jake Paul, and Chris Brown.
In a social media post uploaded on Thursday (July 10), he said: 'I've been around many elites from Satanic Hollywood.
'President Trump is nothing like them. Trump is a stand-up guy that treats everyone around him the best he can.'
And according to insiders, Bo is 'determined to win more of Gen Z for Trump.'
Last year, a souce told the Daily Mail: 'He even got in trouble once at school for wearing so much Trump gear.
'The boys are business minded; they're patriots. But they are also normal, good kids who are finding their way.'
Last April, Bo and Barron teamed up to host an April 'power summit' banquet for Bet-David, MMA fighter Colby Covington, and the entrepreneur Justin Waller, a business partner of the controversial internet personality Andrew Tate.
The guests came away purring about the boys' business acumen and social skills with Bet-David praising Barron as a 'freaking stud of a kid' in clips that soon went viral.
Justin told DailyMail.com: 'Bo reached out to me and told me that Barron watches my content and would like to invite me to dinner at Mar-a-Lago.'
Last month in June 2025, Bo bragged that he was responsible for getting the world's biggest TikTok star, Khaby Lame, deported out of the United States with the help of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on June 6, he wrote that Khaby is an 'illegal alien' in all caps before proclaiming that he has 'been working with the patriots at Trump's DHS' to deport the Senegal-born influencer.
ICE confirmed Lame was detained at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on June 6, the same day Bo made his supposed involvement public.
Khaby, who has over 162 million TikTok followers, overstayed his visa after entering the country on April 30, according to an ICE spokesperson. He was granted 'voluntary departure,' a bureaucratic euphemism for being kicked out.
The spokesperson confirmed in a statement: 'Serigne Khabane Lame, 25, a citizen of Italy, was detained… for immigration violations. Lame was granted voluntary departure… and has since departed the US.'
Bo claimed Khaby was detained at Henderson Detention Center, southeast of Las Vegas proper, though it's unclear how long he may have been in custody before leaving.
ICE have not confirmed whether Bo was involved in reporting Khaby to authorities, but Bo has continued to celebrate his alleged role in the TikToker's removal.
In the aftermath of the deportation, Bo denounced various media outlets' coverage of this incident, who reportedly called him a 'rat' and a 'rat extraordinaire.'
He asked: 'Why? Because I helped President Trump's DHS deport TikTok's biggest star, Khaby Lame, for being in the U.S. illegally. I wish Khaby well and hope he returns as a LAW-ABIDING citizen.'

Antisemitism an ‘urgent issue' for all of British society, Penny Mordaunt warns
The former Conservative minister joined Lord John Mann, the Government's antisemitism adviser, in chairing an independent commission on antisemitism on behalf of the Board of Deputies, Britain's largest Jewish community organisation. Writing in the Telegraph newspaper, the pair described themselves as 'hard-nosed politicians' who are 'used to dealing with the extremes of human emotions and catastrophe'. But they added: 'Even with decades of these experiences, we were still stunned into silence by the evidence that we received as independent chairs of the Board of Deputies Commission on Antisemitism, particularly from young people in the Jewish community.' 'This is an urgent issue not just for the Jewish community but for the United Kingdom as a whole,' the pair added. They also said: 'We are all harmed if we tolerate the abuse of some of our fellow citizens by those who hold warped or extreme views.' Their warnings of growing antisemitic prejudices across British society, from the NHS to arts organisations and the police, comes as the report they authored is set to be published on Tuesday. Among its recommendations are that the NHS should hold a summit to tackle the 'specific unaddressed issue of antisemitism' within the health service. Lord Mann and former defence secretary Dame Penny set out 10 recommendations calling for educators, public services and trade unions to do more to tackle antisemitism. Among them was a recommendation for every NHS trust to have 'basic training on contemporary antisemitism'. They stated: 'From evidence that we heard, we can identify that there is a specific unaddressed issue of antisemitism within the NHS. We recommend that a summit should be held with NHS leaders across the UK to begin to address this.' They noted an 'identifiable lack of consistency and capacity in antisemitism training' and recommended the creation of a specific antisemitism training qualification, adding that such training should be included within equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in organisations and institutions. Efforts to teach primary school teachers how to avoid passing on antisemitism and anti-Jewish tropes in their lessons should be rolled out in faith schools across the UK, the commission said. It added that professional organisations and trade unions should ensure that all Jewish members are treated equally and with respect, while there must be a consistent approach taken by police when dealing with antisemitic crimes. The commission said it had seen evidence of 'hidden barriers being put in front of Jewish involvement within the arts' and said there must always be a 'robust response for those who choose to discriminate and government at every level should ensure this'. Lord Mann said: 'It is unacceptable that the Jewish community has faced an onslaught of antisemitism since October 7th. 'Whilst this is not new, the commission heard shocking experiences that we will not ignore. Antisemitism is racism and it must be treated as such. We hope these recommendations will provide additional guidance and action for civil society.' Dame Penny said: 'No person should face abuse or discrimination whilst going about their business, whether it is pursuing the career of their choice or accessing public services. 'We wanted to suggest some very practical things that can be dealt with swiftly and will dramatically improve people's experiences.' Board of Deputies president Phil Rosenberg said: 'Overall, the challenge in civil society can be summarised as one of a failure to apply the protections rightly afforded to different vulnerable groups equally to Jewish people in the same positions. 'Many sectors promote strong Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) processes, which are very important, but too often, these protections seem to exclude Jews.' He said the board will insist that 'Jews must count' and will use the recommendations of the commission's report 'to ensure that they do'. An NHS spokesperson said: 'It is completely unacceptable for anyone to experience racism, discrimination or prejudice in the health service, whether staff or patient, and the NHS takes any instance of antisemitism or discrimination extremely seriously. 'The NHS provides care and treatment for everyone regardless of race, faith, or background and all NHS healthcare providers should have policies in place to address issues like this in the workplace.'

Antisemitism an ‘urgent issue' for all of British society, Penny Mordaunt warns
