Staff Reports
Barron Trump is making headlines. The youngest son of former President Trump has stepped into the bustling corridors of New York University’s Stern School of Business. Despite the potential for drama that comes with being a Trump, the reaction from his peers has been mostly warm, though Barron has had to turn down selfie requests for security reasons. After all, the Secret Service doesn’t exactly operate on the same schedule as student life.
Every day, Barron rolls into class with a cavalcade of security. A motorcade packed with blacked-out SUVs isn’t the typical student ride, but then again, a few average freshmen are the son of a former president. Reports indicate that students must flash their IDs before they can even think about entering the classroom, adding a bit of presidential flair to the typical academic routine. You can bet that nobody is cutting that line.

The serious nature of this security detail isn’t lost on anyone, especially in light of recent events. Just last week, an armed suspect was taken down at Trump’s golf course. Not to forget, former President Trump was grazed by a bullet while rallying the base in Pennsylvania. It’s a wild world out there, and it’s clear that Barron’s safety is more than a little necessary. Nothing gets the blood pumping quite like the knowledge that there’s more than just finals at stake.
As for Barron’s social life, it appears some classmates are eager to connect. One enthusiastic student expressed the desire to team up with Barron on a “diss track” directed at Vice President Kamala Harris. That is a surprising choice for a collaboration, but then again, that kind of youthful rebellion is expected when you have the Trump name. There are even rumors that a few students would jump at the chance to be Barron’s friend, proving that even in the elite circles of NYU, some folks recognize the appeal of Trump.
While not everyone is on board with the Trump family legacy, it’s hard to ignore the positives coming from Barron’s venture into higher education. The former president himself has been beaming about his son’s prospects. He has pointed out how Barron got accepted to multiple colleges and is ready to tackle Stern’s business curriculum. The elder Trump has made it clear that this is one smart kid on a path to success—quite the contrast to some of the more entitled sentiments floating around campus. After all, who wouldn’t want to befriend someone with that kind of lineage and pressure cooker life experience?
