Trump says son Barron will attend university in New York
(The Hill) — Former President Donald Trump revealed his son Barron, who turned 18 in March, will attend a university in New York, describing the school as “very good” without naming it in a new interview.
When The New York Post asked if the younger Trump has decided where he will go to school, the former president said, “He is. We’re going to announce it soon.”
“He’s all set in a certain school that’s very good,” he told The Post in an interview released Tuesday.
Trump confirmed it is in New York and smiled when The Post asked him if it was New York University, but maintained they will announce the choice “very soon.”
Barron, the youngest of the former president’s children, graduated high school last May from the Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He and his mother, Melania Trump, have largely stayed out of the public eye as Trump pursues a second term in the White House. Barron, however, made his political debut at his father’s rally last month, and the former president has suggested that he’s taken political advice from him.
He was also tapped to be a Florida delegate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month where his father became the official GOP nominee for president. However, he declined the invitation due to “prior commitments.”
Last month, the former president described Barron as a “very good guy” and said he got into every school he applied to.
Earlier this week, Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, announced her verbal commitment to play golf at the University of Miami. She is the eldest daughter of Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump.
