People have been left confused after President Donald Trump praised his son, Barron Trump's 'unbelievable aptitude in technology' after revealing he was able to complete what seems like a straightforward task.
Barron, 19, is Trump's youngest son and is currently a student at New York University, studying at the prestigious Stern School of Business.
But it seems Barron is excelling in technology too, after Trump praised his capabilities in a recent interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham.

Speaking about his youngest son, who he shares with first lady Melania Trump, the president said: “If you look at my kids, all of my kids, they’ve been very good, they've been very smart.
“They love our country and they’re proud of their father.”
When asked which of Barron's talents stand out - politics or business - Trump said it was his technological abilities that were 'unbelievable'.
Recalling an example, Trump said: “I turn off his laptop, I said, 'Oh good,' and I go back five minutes later, he's got his laptop. I said, 'How'd you do that?'
"'None of your business, Dad'.
"He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology."
Over on Reddit, people were confused over the comments, with many wondering if Trump had praised Barron's ability to turn on a laptop.
One person wrote: "Reminds me of when my parents would talk about how smart I was because I could put together legos."
While another said: "Apparently he thinks his kid is a genius bc of that."
Others said it sounded like Trump had implied that Barron was able to access the laptop despite not knowing the password, which makes more sense.
"It sounds like Trump slammed the lid down on his kid's laptop and stalked out of the room unaware of a thing called 'sleep mode'," one commented.
Someone else added: "Yeah, I feel like he meant he got past the password. Probably was something basic such as not having turned it off so there was no password."
And a third claimed: "Well it was basically he had used a program to disallow his son to be on his laptop. Barron figured out a way to bypass."
Trump went on to explain that he sees his kids every day, revealing he'd been 'lucky' with how successful they had become.
"I'm lucky, you have to be a little bit lucky too... They're good kids and they work hard," he said.
"... We have a very good relationship."
