Barron Trump 'hardly exists' at NYU as he uses virtual way to socialize while avoiding campus spotlight
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Forget frat parties and campus hangouts—Barron Trump, Melania and Donald Trump's towering 6-foot-9 son, is living his best gamer life as a freshman at NYU.
While most college kids are busy chasing grades or their next hot thing on campus, Barron has one priority: crushing it in FC25 and connecting with classmates over Discord.
Barron Trump is a 6’9” mystery on campus
If you’ve been wondering what it’s like to go to school with Barron Trump, the word on the street is: blink and you’ll miss him. NYU students dished to TMZ that Barron’s campus presence is almost non-existent.
“He hardly exists,” one student spilled to the outlet — describing how Barron always sits in the back of classrooms, zips to his waiting SUV like a ninja, and has a squad of Secret Service agents nearby at all times.
While Barron might not be hitting coffee shops or joining campus clubs, he’s found a genius way to bond with fellow NYU students—by sliding into their Discord servers. The teen has reportedly been swapping Gamertags with classmates so they can team up for some online action.
His go-to game is FC25, formerly known as FIFA. His love for gaming isn’t new. Back in high school, classmates told Daily Mail he’d rave about Clash of Clans and his soccer obsession.
Despite his low-profile lifestyle, Barron has left a rather positive impression on his peers. Students described him as “chill” and “friendly."
Donald Trump is a proud dad
Donald Trump has always been vocal about his youngest son’s gaming passion.
During his 2024 campaign, Trump shared that Barron convinced him to interview with mega-popular Twitch streamer Adin Ross. For those who aren't in the know, Ross became famous by streaming games like NBA 2K20 and GTA V — and Barron was a big fan.
“He was the one who told me I had to do it,” Trump revealed during the podcast.
Barron might be a reserved teen now, but let’s not forget he's been making waves online since at least 2010.
In a resurfaced clip from Larry King Live that year, a four-year-old Barron melted hearts with his thick Slovenian accent while showing off his school bag.
“I like my suitcase,” he declared, before asking Melania, “I have to go to school now?”
She replied, "Yes, first you will have lunch and then you'll go to school."
"You can do reading, writing, and arithmetic," his famous dad chimed in.
Barron Trump's life of quiet luxury
Unlike his older siblings who thrive in the spotlight, Barron Trump has always kept things low-key.
He was raised in a jaw-dropping New York penthouse and attended an elite private school on the Upper West Side before moving to the White House in DC. After his father's first presidency, he moved to Mar-a-Lago.
Considering, Barron’s life has been the epitome of understated glamour.
He graduated high school earlier this year, with Donald cheering him on in the crowd. Now he’s navigating college life—with a side of Secret Service.
