Did Trump slip? Fans think he revealed Barron’s whereabouts after secret transfer

Barron Trump has moved his studies to Washington, D.C. for his sophomore year, so he can stay close to his parents. Donald Trump may have revealed that Barron is actually living inside the White House, even though his move was supposed to be low-key. This moment happened when Trump was giving Fox News’ Laura Ingraham a tour of the White House and showing the changes he made in his second term.

Ingraham asked Trump if any of his kids have the same “delicate attention to detail” as him, as per the report by Fox News. Trump replied that all his children — Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany and Barron — have their own strengths. Trump praised his youngest son, saying “Barron’s going to be tremendous” and “He is very meticulous.”

Barron Trump white house stay

Trump then added with a smile, “He’s here, he’s right upstairs,” referring to the family bedrooms on the upper level of the White House — which is what made fans think he revealed Barron’s location.


Barron, 19, is studying business at New York University, but he transferred from NYU’s Manhattan campus to its smaller D.C. campus at the start of his sophomore year this fall, as per the report by PEOPLE. Trump is reportedly very happy to have Barron at home now.

Barron Trump crypto fortune

Forbes revealed that Barron already has a small fortune, mostly because of his knowledge of cryptocurrency. Even before turning 20, Barron is estimated to be worth around $150 million. Trump once joked about Barron’s crypto skills, saying, “He’s got four wallets or something, and I’m saying, ‘What is a wallet?’” during the family’s crypto venture launch in September 2024.

Barron reportedly opened the Trump family’s eyes to the crypto business, which helped increase the president’s wealth. Trump’s own net worth grew by more than $3 billion in the past year, mainly because of crypto and overseas licensing deals. Very little is known about Barron’s first year of college, but a source told PEOPLE that he spent his summer working on his financial interests and meeting people involved in that field.

The same insider said Barron also spent a lot of time with his family over the summer. The source added that dating is not important to Barron right now, as he is focused on school, family and his early career.
