Barron Trump graduated high school in 2024. His childhood consisted of attending “prestigious” private schools on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, People magazine wrote.
When his dad was elected president, Barron Trump and Melania stayed in Manhattan so he could finish the school year, then moved to Maryland and into the White House that summer. He graduated high school in May.
Barron Trump made his political debut at his father’s rally in July after being largely absent from the campaign trail.
He’s the youngest of the former president’s children. Trump’s other sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, have often been seen at campaign events for their father.
Trump boasted about his son, saying the college-bound Barron got into every school to which he applied. His comments were met with enthusiasm from the audience as the former president described Barron as a “very good guy.”
