Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of President-elect Donald Trump and Melania Trump, is eager to build his own identity, though his famous last name remains significant, particularly among women.
During his father’s election campaign, Barron actively contributed as an advisor, offering insights on engaging with younger voters.
Additionally, Barron was approached to serve as a delegate by the Republican Party of Florida, an offer he chose to decline to focus on his college education.
Melania Trump commented that Barron was honored to be selected but had to decline due to existing commitments.
Barron Trump: From Campaign Advisor to Emerging Icon
At the time of his father’s initial election win in 2016, Barron was just 10 years old. Unlike his siblings—Ivanka, Tiffany, Donald, and Eric—he largely remained out of the spotlight until 2024.
Now, Barron has emerged as a significant figure in the political scene, contributing to Trump’s success against Kamala Harris, notably aiding in achieving a popular vote victory unlike in 2016.
Barron Trump faces an important new chapter in his life, college. He has chosen to attend New York University’s Stern School of Business in Manhattan.
According to People magazine, Barron has become quite popular among peers, even earning a reputation as a ladies’ man.
“He’s in Stern, so his studies are business-focused… Definitely a ladies’ man. Many girls find him attractive, and even those with different views seem to like him,” a source shared.
Melania Trump, Barron’s mother, supports his choices and dismisses the notion of experiencing the “empty nest” syndrome.
“She doesn’t feel there is an ’empty nest’. It was Barron’s choice to stay in New York for school and live at home, which she respects.“
