The youngest Trump doesn’t spend much time on campus, deepening the mystery surrounding who he really is as many prominent figures rave about different aspects of his personality. Despite his reported influence on the his father’s presidential campaign, Barron doesn’t spend much time on campus or participating in school activities, some students said. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” Kaya Walker, the president of NYU College Republicans, told the magazine. “He goes to class, he goes home.”.

His interactions with other students appear to be limited due to his status in the First Family. For example, he traverses through NYU’s open campus in Lower Manhattan from Trump Tower via motorcade. He also has Secret Service officers hanging around him. One student told the magazine about when he asked Barron to play basketball. While the first son seemed interested, the student believed “he wasn’t really allowed to do stuff,” noting the plainclothes Secret Service officers nearby.
He rarely speaks publicly, leaving an air of mystery around who Donald Trump’s youngest son really is. So, others have spoken for him. Social media influencer Justin Waller told Vanity Fair Barron is “the kind of guy that can start a business that can go public, but he also can sit down and drink a beer with the individual that’s running his manufacturing facility.”. Maria Arana, a 21-year-old NYU student and social media influencer, told Vanity Fair that while she hasn’t seen the youngest Trump around campus, she has noticed a shift in the campus’ historically liberal politics since his father was re-elected.
