The passage of time can be a cruel trick, especially when it comes to the youngest Trump child, Barron, who has officially reached the ripe old age of 18. This kid is already taking bold steps by choosing New York University to kick off his higher education journey after recently graduating high school. Nothing like going from junior prom to business classes at one of the most expensive schools in the country.
On his first day at NYU, Barron made quite the entrance. Standing a towering 6’7″, he would have been hard to miss even without the contingent of U.S. Secret Service agents shadowing him like he was the adult in a school play. It’s quite the transition from Trump Tower’s plush surroundings to the bustling Manhattan campus, where the cost of attendance is enough to make even the most liberal of wallets tremble at about $62,500 per year. Perhaps Barron is hoping to learn how to earn his keep in the family business—though one wonders if he’s already banking on his father’s legacy.

Rumors had buzzed around the family’s school choice for a while, but after weighing options like Wharton—an obvious choice considering Donald Trump’s own pedigree—the decision to enroll at NYU’s Stern School of Business came to light. Trump himself has shown a level of pride in his son’s academic achievements, reminding the world that Barron is not just another kid on social media, but rather someone who excels in studies. Still, whether the kid’s ability to study will translate to New York politics remains to be seen.
The folks on social media had opinions, as they always do, and surprise! Not all of them were positive. Some users expressed genuine concerns about Barron’s safety on a campus that has recently seen its fair share of chaos. After all, it’s not every day that a former president’s son attends class among the common folk. Between Secret Service protection and whatever NYU’s campus security can cook up, one can only hope they can fend off any wannabe protestors looking to interrupt his education.
With this new chapter in life beginning for Barron Trump, it’s clear that while his height might make him the tallest student on campus, the eyes of the nation might just be watching even closer. Whatever one thinks of his father’s politics, Barron’s journey through college is just getting started, and it promises to be a bumpy ride—especially if the liberal elites trying to tear down the family name have anything to say about it.
