Barron Trump, now 18, began studying business and finance at NYU’s Stern School of Business in September 2024 while living at Trump Tower. His mother, Melania, stated, “It was [Barron’s] decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home.” She prefers keeping him nearby, believing it’s better to stay close at this stage.
At Donald Trump’s inauguration, Barron caught public attention with his poised demeanor. Body language expert Judy James remarked he’s “becoming a force to be reckoned with” due to his confidence and “princely air.” His interaction with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris stood out. Lip reader Jeremy Freeman noted Barron greeted Biden with “G’day to you, sir” and Harris with “Ma’am, good day,” earning praise for his charm and manners.
Observers credited Melania for raising a respectful young man.
