New details about Barron Trump’s extremely private life during his high school years are finally beginning to surface now that the youngest Trump child is finally a bona fide adult — ranging from a constant Secret Service shadow to a complete and total social media blackout to the former first son’s high school love life.

All of the stunning new details are packed into a report from the British tabloid, The Daily Mail, which managed to speak with inside sources, including some of Barron Trump’s high school friends, who were quick to describe the bizarre and surreal experience that was attending a lavish, private high school with the son of a former US president.

Students and staff at the exclusive Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, knew the scandal-plagued former president’s son as Barron. However, if you were to pour over the Oxbridge Academy records, or even their yearbooks, looking for Barron Trump, you would quickly come up empty-handed.

According to the tabloid’s report, the former first son attended the exclusive private academy under a strict alias — with the Daily Mail declining to publicize Barron’s full alias and releasing only the first name “Jack” — in an effort to thwart any attempts to hack into the school’s records or computer system to publicize Barron’s personal data or grades.

This alias was, apparently, just one portion of a larger overall effort spearheaded by Barron’s infamously and fiercely protective mother, Melania, to keep her son safe and as far away from the public’s eye and scrutiny as possible.

The report goes on to note that, as part of those efforts, Melania implemented a complete and total social media blackout with regard to her only son.

Barron was reportedly strictly forbidden from appearing in any social media posts from staff or students at the school and was the only student to go without even one single mention of his name or photo to be found in the exclusive private academy’s Resonate yearbook, throughout the entire 3 years of his attendance there.

Friends recall Barron never once attending or participating in a sporting event, going to a party, or even eating his meals with the rest of his classmates. In fact, insiders recalled Barron being so fiercely protected and surrounded during his school days, that he was even followed to the bathroom by his personal Secret Service detail.

Nevertheless, though, Barron’s former classmates and friends speak fondly of ex-First Son.

“Barron was very funny and sociable. He would start the most random conversations and could be very entertaining,” a high school pal of Barron’s told the publication. “He was also very mysterious. He never attended football games or dances. I don’t think he met up with anyone outside of school or went on dates.”

“If he had a girlfriend, it was top secret we never knew about it. I’m sure he had fun in his own way but it was a bit of a shame that he didn’t get to have a normal high school life like everyone else.”

Barron was enrolled at the Oxbridge Academy in 2021, when the Trump family moved down to Mar-a-Lago and designated the state of Florida as their new official home, following the disastrous 2020 election.

Throughout his entire 3 years at the prestigious private school — where tuition sets families back a cool $41,500 a year and all staff members are required to sign an iron-clad non-disclosure agreement — classmates and friends can’t seem to recall a single moment that Barron Trump wasn’t flocked by his own Secret Service protective detail.

One friend told the tabloid that Barron completed about half of his schoolwork online. However, when he did have to come in person, it was quite the dramatic fanfare. The former president’s son would arrive to school at around 8:30 a.m. as the lobby was emptying and classes were beginning, and never without his security agents.

“He had multiple agents who would rotate throughout the day and there was always one with him wherever he needed to go,” a friend explained. “He had multiple agents who would rotate throughout the day and there was always one with him wherever he needed to go.”

Barron’s former classmate goes on to recall a rather dramatic scare for the school when there was a 911 incident at a nearby Publix supermarket that sent the entire academy into a full-fledged lockdown as Secret Service agents burst into the classroom and swooped the former First Son to safety until the threat had been fully resolved.

However, at the end of the day, friends say that Barron was a pretty normal kid, thriving on a solid and steady routine, and never getting himself into any trouble.

“A lot of parents had concerns that the school could become a target when they heard he was coming to Oxbridge,” the friend explained. “It was a really big deal when he arrived and everyone wanted to get to know him. But after a while it became normalized. The kids barely took any notice of the Secret Service.”

Barron Trump has begun to try to find his footing in the public’s eye in recent months, after recently turning 18 and graduating high school — even going so far as to recently attend one of his father’s campaign rallies, where Donald announced his presence as though he were the second coming of Christ himself.
