Barron Trump was recently seen exiting class during his first day of college in the heart of New York City. The son of former President Donald Trump is attending the Stern School of Business at the prestigious New York University. Barron was spotted leaving a car alongside Secret Service agents, sporting a white tucked-in polo with his backpack.
The Republican Presidential candidate recently applauded his son’s intelligence, noting that he was set to attend NYU. “He’s a very smart guy, and he’ll be going to Stern, the business school, which is a great school at NYU,” Trump said. The former president had previously hinted that Barron may attend his alma mater, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where much of the Trump family has been educated.
Barron graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in the spring and has demonstrated interest in politics, perhaps following in his father’s footsteps. The American Tribune previously reported on comments from Trump, who said it was “very cute” to see Barron getting involved in the political arena.
Earlier this year, Barron was selected to be a part of the Florida delegation at the Republican National Convention. However, he was unable to attend the event. Speaking about his son’s interest, Trump said, “To me, that’s very cute. Because he’s a very young guy. And he’s graduated from high school this year. He’s a very good student, very smart. And I think that’s great.”
Trump also praised his youngest son in recent comments, describing him as “pretty cool.” Trump stated, “He’s amazing, actually, in a circle here, he’s tall, good looking guys, a very good student, and he’s, he’s applied to colleges and gets into everywhere he goes. You know, he’s very sought after from the standpoint, he’s a very smart guy, he’s very tall guy, but he’s, and he’s, he’s a great kid. He’s, he’s cool, he’s pretty cool.”
The former president also spoke about Barron during a recent interview with famous comedian Theo Von. “He just graduated high school, right?” the comedian asked. Trump replied, “That’s right he just said, he, he knows you very well. He said, ‘dad, he’s big, big one.’” Theo said, “Wow, that’s cool,” in seeming amazement. Trump asked, referring to the growing podcast ecosystem, “That’s, where it is nowadays, right?” The host responded, “Yeah, well, it’s interesting, you know? Yeah, I can’t believe that. Um, we’re able to get platforms.”
