Barron Trump Flees Florida for New York Liberal Arts Education

Barron Trump, the youngest and most low-key member of the Trump dynasty, is shaking things up by choosing a college in New York. The tall and elusive 6-foot-7 (or 6-foot-9, depending on who you ask) son of former President Donald Trump is set to start fall 2024 classes soon, as confirmed by his proud father in an exclusive New York Post story.

"He’s all set in a certain school that’s very good," the former president told the New York Post. "He’s always been a very good student, he’s smart."

While neither of his parents has spilled the beans on which New York university Barron has chosen, Trump assured the public that an announcement would be made "soon." The suspense is killing us!

Barron, who has been living the low life and avoiding the spotlight, was notably absent from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this past July. Meanwhile, his half-niece, 17-year-old Kai Trump, stole the show and proudly announced her college choice: the University of Miami.

As college move-in season approaches, we can only speculate whether Donald or Melania Trump will be there to help Barron unpack his MAGA hats and Trump-brand merchandise. It's also unclear if Barron will choose to live off-campus, perhaps in a golden tower of his own.

What we do know is that Barron won't be following in his family's footsteps by attending the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown University, both prestigious institutions with strong Trump ties.

It seems Barron is breaking away from family tradition, and we can't help but wonder if Melania will be moving to New York to be closer to her son. Remember when she and Barron stayed in New York for several months after Donald's inauguration so he could finish school? Those were the days!

Most fall 2024 classes begin next week or after Labor Day weekend, so the countdown is on.
