Barron Trump took center stage at Mar-a-Lago as right-wing commentators, businessmen and an MMA fighter gathered at the Florida resort.
The 6ft 7in 18-year-old, the youngest son of former US President Donald Trump, wore a dark suit and blue tie as he towered over the guests.
In one photo, he is surrounded by businessmen Patrick Bet-David and Justin Waller. MMA fighter Colby Covington and conservative influencer Bo Loudon were also in attendance.
Mr Waller, a business partner of controversial internet personality Andrew Tate, shared the image on social media with the caption: “Let’s take this country back.”
Mr. Bet-David told Newsweek that he had been invited by the teenager to dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
“I was very impressed with him when I was young,” he said. “He was very lively, witty, had a great sense of humor and was interesting to listen to over dinner.”
Mr Covington is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, having previously claimed a championship fight was rigged against him as a fan of the former president.
Another image from the evening shows Barron standing, unsmiling, next to his father, who gave the camera a thumbs-up and smiled.
Donald Trump attributed his son’s height to his grandmother’s cooking when he paid tribute to the late Amalija Knavs at her funeral in January.
“Boy, did she take care of Barron,” he said. “That’s how he got so big, he only ate his food.”
These images are the latest sign of the Trump family’s return to the forefront in the run-up to the November elections, of which Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican candidate.
While his sons Eric and Don Jr participated in the primaries, his wife Melania was largely absent from the campaign trail.
However, the 53-year-old is expected to host the Trump campaign’s launch event for his “Road to Victory” program, which will target voters in swing states.
