“So Barron, it’s good to have you. [He’s] had such a nice, easy life. Now, it’s a little bit changed.”
In spite of his father’s huge position within US politics, Barron does try to take a backseat and was notably absent during his dad’s first speech to Congress earlier this year. He’s also not likely to appear at any future events his father makes, and with good reason.
Barron, who lives in New York in Trump Tower, is currently a freshman at NYU and will be busy attending classes, so he’ll be unable to make as many public appearances.
Barron is currently studying and attending classes at New York University’s Stern School of Business since September, having graduated from Florida’s Oxbridge Academy in May.
Yet, his college experience isn’t likely to be the same as others in their first year of studies.
In an interview, Barron’s mother Melania revealed that her son isn’t like others, as she said last year: “I don’t think it’s possible for him to be a normal student. His experience at college — it’s very different than any other kid.”
Melania has generally kept Barron away from the spotlight as much as possible, as she explained to Fox News: “I feel that children, when they reach 18 or 19 years old, we teach them, we guide them, and then we give them the wings to fly. I always respect Barron’s yes and no – what he likes to do and where he wants to be.”
She went on to call her son an ‘incredible young man’, adding: “I’m very proud of what he grew up to. His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness. It’s admirable.”
