A lip-reader has revealed Barron Trump’s mysterious whisper to Joe Biden during his father Donald Trump's inauguration earlier this week.

On Monday (20 January), the world watched on as the Republican leader was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States - an event which saw a handful of stand-out moments, including Hilary Clinton laughing at Trump as he made one particular promise, Barron being defended over his 'ear thing', Elon Musk being accused of doing a 'Nazi salute', and, we couldn't forget, the frenzy of Melania Trump's massive wide-brimmed hat.

Another moment which clearly caught the attention of people online saw outgoing president Joe Biden catching up with Trump's youngest, Barron.

The clip has captivated millions of viewers since Monday's ceremony, with many spectators wondering what on Earth the duo could have been chatting about so intimately.

In the clip, the teenager can be seen at one point reaching for 82-year-old Biden's hand, before leaning in close to whisper something in his ear.

A lip reader has since come to the rescue with a suggestion for what words could have actually been exchanged during the interaction.

Offering an explanation for what took place between the former president and the current president's youngest child, expert witness forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman told LADbible what he believes Biden said: "It's good to see you man," to which Barron responded with a slightly bizarre 'Exactly'.

Responding 'exactly' to someone saying 'it's good to see you' isn't exactly a normal response - something which could potentially explain why Biden looked so perplexed just moments after.

A body language expert has also weighed in with her expertise on the exchange, claiming that their chat can't have been as interesting as it appeared.

Speaking to FEMAIL, communications guru Judi James began by explaining: "Barron very confidently and by all appearances charmingly bent to shake hands and exchange a few words with Biden."

"And although Biden's face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Biden's face was registering the fact that he'd finished his greeting ritual with Trump's son."

Judi believes misconceptions about the interaction have been sparked by the 'super-confidence' and 'humour' that the youngster appeared to be exhibiting on Monday, which was likely triggered by his father's return to power.

"When he was introduced by his father, he stood like a rock star acknowledging the cheers and chants of his name and even cupped his ear to increase them," Judi went on.

"Which is probably why people might assume (wrongly I'd say) that he's possibly making barbed comments on his way out here."

She added that the teen was 'working as a sweeper' on Monday, adding: "This means he tends to arrive and leave behind his parents but instead of just walking off behind them as he did when he was younger, he spends time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words.

"This behaviour begins to define his personal presence and status but without compromising that of his dad's."

Judi went on: "He lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise.

"The fact he does this behind his parents shows a level of trust from them, too."
