Where’s Barron? President Trump’s youngest son mysteriously absent from NYU
Barron Trump is no longer the big man on campus.
Literally. Donald and Melania Trump’s very tall son is MIA at NYU.
The 19-year-old was set to start his sophomore year at the Stern School of Business in the East Village earlier this month. But after no one saw hide nor hair of the kid — not to mention his Secret Service detail — conspiracy theories went wild.
Was Barron there, but just really good at disguising his six-foot-seven frame? Was he taking classes remotely from Mar-a-Lago? Had he dropped out? Transferred to one of his father’s alma maters, Fordham or Wharton? The mystery deepened by the day.
After digging deep, the intrepid celebrity reporters at People magazine found out that Barron indeed is not physically there in the 212.
Sources told the outlet that after the president’s youngest son spent his summer working at his family’s various properties “with others who he is involved with in that area” he is now “actively working on his own financial interests.”
The Oxbridge Academy alum is indeed continuing his higher education and doing a semester at a different NYU campus.
A scan of the website reveals “Sternies” can have a “study away” experience, and attend multiple partner schools on six continents (minus Antarctica).
So where in the world is Barron?
The New York Post found out that the teen is actually back home, as in at the White House. Among all the international cities listed, NYU does have a partner exchange school in Washington, D.C., so that makes sense, and probably made his helicopter mom very happy.
