Barron Trump 'humiliated' at NYU? Professor, peers make shocking statement about US President's son

Donald Trump's youngest son Barron Trump is approaching the end of his first year at New York University. While this is a milestone to celebrate, many are putting him down.

Barron was enrolled as a freshman at the NYU in 2024 and initially had a rough start as he struggled to fit in. But since then, things have changed for the better and things have smoothed out and he now has a girlfriend.

What NYU professor said about Barron Trump

However, a professor reportedly feels that the President's youngest son “doesn't belong” at NYU, as reported by The Irish Star. The report suggests that the professor's remark was published in Hola Magazine and lacked any clear context. And wasn’t just the professor, it was a fellow student, saying Barron is “watched like a zoo animal.”

The comment from the professor comes months after one of Barron's fellow students commented that he is "watched like a zoo animal.” But, in happier news, there are people who are supportive of Barron and how he spends his time.

A source spoke to NewsNation, who said: “Barron has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot.”

The source added: “But the whispers about his romantic life have done more than pique curiosity—they’ve stirred renewed focus on how Melania is navigating her son’s growing independence," the insider told the publication.”

"[Barron is] much more like his mother, Melania — he keeps his head down and gets on with it. He is not trying to be BMOC (big man on campus).” Melania is very protective of her son, and like many mothers, she believes her job is to take care of him, it’s being reported.

Barron Trump's dating life

Over the past few months, Barron Trump's love life has drawn attention after several insiders revealed that the NYU freshman has quietly started dating. While the son of Donald and Melania Trump keeps a low profile while attending college, it was reported that he is enjoying his time in school and spending quality time with a special someone.

On the PBD Podcast last October, Donald Trump admitted he didn’t know much about Barron’s dating life and even speculated that his son had never had a girlfriend. Melania on the other hand, has remained deeply connected to her son’s life.

Earlier this year, Kaya Walker, former president of the NYU College Republicans, referred to Barron as an “oddity” during a Vanity Fair interview. She later resigned amid backlash, clarifying: “The ‘oddity’ I talked about lies in the unhealthy fascination that people have with a teenager just minding his business by going to college and not at all in Barron Trump himself.”
