A “manosphere” influencer bragged in a new Netflix documentary about his many visits to Mar-a-Lago with President Donald Trump and his youngest son, Barron. Justin Waller is one of several influencers featured in the film “Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere.” Waller said he moved his family from Louisiana to South Florida in order to grow his business – and to gain access to Trump’s “inner circle.” He also boasted about dining with 19-year-old Barron Trump at the president’s Palm Beach club. “I had dinner with Barron at Mar-a-Lago,” Waller said. “I met Donald that night. I’ve been to Mar-a-Lago four or five times.” Pictures from the dinner were posted on multiple male influencers’ social media accounts before the documentary’s release. In the documentary, Theroux pointed out that Waller is closely associated with the infamous manosphere influencer Andrew Tate, who, along with his brother Tristan, faces human trafficking and rape charges in both the United Kingdom and Romania, NPR reported. Waller previously told The New York Times that Barron admires manosphere-adjacent influencers, including Tate. He also claimed to have participated in a Zoom call with Barron, where they discussed how the prosecutions against the Tate brothers were an effort to silence them. “I am very close with the Trump family, I know them well,” Andrew Tate said in a clip featured in the documentary. Outside of his supposed connections to the manosphere, very little is publicly known about Barron or his social life. He is currently a sophomore at NYU’s Washington, D.C., campus, but generally does not attend public events with his father, aside from major ones such as the State of the Union.
