No one has apparently seen Barron Trump in public since July 9. Orientation has begun at colleges nationwide, and last week, Donald Trump bragged that his son would be attending a prestigious one in New York. This is interesting, considering Trump is being charged in one of four criminal cases there. The state has had its growing issues with him, even to the point where he decided to “flee” to Florida as his new home.
Nonetheless, Trump’s family history isn’t tied to prestigious colleges in New York, but rather, a 60-year Ivy League legacy at the University of Pennsylvania.
In an exclusive interview with The New York Post, Trump did not reveal where Barron would be attending but said he would announce it very soon. It’s been eight days, and still no announcement. Not only has there been no sighting of Barron, but neither Melania nor their Secret Service.
It’s often reported that Barron is attending NYU because it’s not only his “top choice,” but also very close to Trump Tower.

It should be noted that Trump and his MAGA-loyal base have politically attacked universities nationwide as bastions of liberal ideologies, often triggered by protests. These political attacks have often forced leadership changes. Trump has expressed “concern” about this when speaking to Fox and Friends Weekend.
“Colleges six months ago, you look at a college, and you want a certain college, and then you see all of these colleges are rioting. And maybe you want to go to a different kind of a college, because there’s plenty of colleges that we also like that are different and they don’t riot.”
Finding out this information is not unlike trying to get a hold of Trump’s tax returns or even getting his transcripts to prove what he’s bragged about. For both documents, he’s threatened retaliation, and with his transcripts, to sue any school that releases them.
Regarding Barron, reporting shows that he does not appear on the registries of NYU, Cornell, or Columbia, as is traditionally the case with first-year students. This type of reporting could have revealed some activity somewhere, even if his name was removed from the registry. While there’s also no reporting on it, perhaps Trump University has returned, or maybe there’s a new MAGAt U in Trump Tower?
