Barron Trump has been dubbed Donald Trump's "clone" by supporters as the teen's resemblance to his dad garners attention online.

Earlier this week, a user on X, formerly Twitter, posted an photo of a much younger Donald alongside a recent snap of his only child with his wife Melania Trump to highlight the father and son's close resemblance.

In the black-and-white photo of Donald, who appeared to be in his 20s in the snap, he sported a suit, light button-down shirt, and polka-dot tie. Barron could also be seen wearing a dark blue suit and white button-down but chose to forgo a tie.

"Barron Trump looks much like his dad!" the user wrote alongside the images.

Many X users agreed with the assessment, with some even calling the 18-year-old his father's "clone."

"He sure does! Gorgeous, both of them!" one supporter commented, while another person described Barron as "a chip off the old block."

"The Trump gene certainly passes on," a third user observed.

Others suggested that while Barron may take after the former president more when it comes to his appearance, his personality appears to be similar to that of his mom Melania, who is known to be a private person and has largely stayed away from the spotlight since leaving the White House in early 2021.

"Yes... but he got [his] shy personality probably from the mother," one X user wrote.

The similarities between Donald and Barron became a frequent topic of discussion on social media as new photos of the now-adult Barron surfaced after the teen turned 18 in March.

Earlier this week, a photo of Barron and his dad posing side-by-side while sporting matching dark blue tuxedos also circulated on X.

Barron, who is said to be 6-foot-7 in height, towered over the former president as they both grinned at the camera.

Last month, Barron was also spotted in photos shared on X by businessman Justin Waller and MMA star Colby Covington from a fundraising event at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

In one snap, the teen looked dapper in a dark blue suit and light blue tie as he stood in the middle of a group that consisted of Waller, Covington, businessman Patrick Bet-David, and Bo Loudon, the son of conservative commentator Gina Loudon.

Meanwhile, the photo shared by the MMA fighter showed Barron smiling as he posed with Donald and Covington.

At the time, a number of X users also claimed that Barron looked like a younger version of his dad.

"Barron looks just like his dad," one person commented, while another tweeted, "Barron looks like he got the best of both parents."

Barron is due to graduate with the class of 2024 this month, with both of his parents expected to attend the ceremony.

This week, the judge in Donald's hush money trial in New York gave the GOP 2024 presidential candidate permission to attend Barron's high school graduation ceremony at Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, on May 17.
