Barron Trump was seen on NYU’s campus on February 4, 2025, marking his first public appearance since his father’s inauguration. He arrived in a motorcade and was escorted by security. Netizens quickly reacted to his presence, with many commenting on his appearance.

Dressed in a cream sweater, white polo, black pants, and Adidas sneakers, Barron attracted attention online. Some mocked his hands, with one saying, “He’s got baby hands awwww,” while another added, “Just like daddy.” Others focused on his resemblance to Trump, with a user noting, “He looks like young Trump on maximum settings 😅💪🇺🇲.” However, some praised him, calling him an “impressive young man.”

Melania Trump, who prioritizes motherhood, acknowledged that Barron’s college experience would be different due to his status. She described him as an “intelligent and incredible young man” and noted their strong bond.

At Trump’s January inauguration, Barron stole the spotlight again. Dressed in a blue suit, many noted his striking resemblance to his father, with comments like, “Wow [he’s] identical to his dad 😮.” Others focused on his height, remarking, “He is so tall now.”

This wasn’t his first inauguration—he also attended in 2017 when his father was sworn in as the 45th president.
