Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, has embarked on a new chapter as a college freshman at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
But unlike most first-year students, Barron, 18, won’t be moving into a dorm anytime soon. Sources reveal that he’s chosen to stay at Trump Tower, the family’s iconic Midtown Manhattan residence, under his mother’s watchful eye.
With the divisive political landscape surrounding the Trump family and Donald Trump’s return to the presidency on the horizon, Melania Trump is prioritizing Barron’s stability.
A source close to the family explained, “She will do everything she can to make sure Barron does well in school and is socially and mentally adjusted to his life as a college student. Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point.”
The decision to keep Barron at home aligns with Melania’s steadfast focus on her son’s well-being. Known for her dedication as a mother, Melania has stated that Barron’s academic success and mental health are paramount.
In a rare Fox News interview, she confirmed that living at home was Barron’s choice. “It was his decision to come here… to study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that,” she shared, adding, “I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18, 19-year-old child.”
Barron’s unique circumstances extend beyond academics. Sources say that, despite his young age, he already has his own political views, which are being carefully monitored given the family’s high-profile status.
For now, Melania’s hands-on approach ensures he can navigate this pivotal time with guidance.
While this arrangement may evolve, it reflects Melania’s unwavering commitment to balancing her son’s needs with her responsibilities as first lady.
With Barron commuting to classes in Lower Manhattan, his path forward will undoubtedly be shaped by the extraordinary life he leads—one that’s both supported by family and filled with scrutiny from the outside world.
