It's not uncommon for teenagers to be absent from family gatherings or events, but when it comes to the Trump family, it's a different story. On Monday night, Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of former President Donald Trump, failed to appear for a scheduled interview promoting his family's new business venture, a cryptocurrency venture called World Liberty Financial (WLF). The interview was supposed to be a big deal, with Barron's father and two brothers, Don Jr. and Eric, joining in via live stream. Instead, Barron was nowhere to be found.

The reason for his absence was unknown, but his father, Donald Trump, tried to make light of the situation by joking that "we took too long, and we're gonna try and get him back." Don Jr. also chimed in, quipping that "damned teenagers" were always causing trouble. But despite the lighthearted tone, the absence of Barron, who is in his freshman year at NYU's Stern School of Business, raised eyebrows.

The interview itself was a bit of a mess, with Donald Trump struggling to explain the details of his new venture. He mentioned that it's a combination of cryptocurrency, AI, and other technologies, but seemed unclear on how it all worked together. His sons, on the other hand, were more enthusiastic, with Don Jr. and Eric promoting the venture through their own social media channels.

The Trump family's foray into cryptocurrency is just the latest in a long line of business ventures that have raised eyebrows. From selling items featuring moments from his political life to promoting his own line of coffee table books, Donald Trump has never been shy about monetizing his fame. And with his latest venture, he's also raising questions about ethics conflicts if he were to become President again.
