In an interview, Melania Trump elucidated the rationale behind her decision not to enroll her 18-year-old son, Barron, in college. She characterized him as a “grown young man ” who was thus unable to be “a normal student” at the university level.

Melania Trump and President-elect Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, are not undergoing a conventional college experience, and he is aware of this.

“I do not believe it is realistic for him to be a typical student.” In a Friday interview with Fox and Friends, the incoming First Lady stated, “his college experience is very different from that of any other student.”

“I am gratified by his ability to cope with the circumstances.” “He displays remarkable resilience and is acutely aware of the unique circumstances that differentiate him from other children.”

Barron, aged 18, graduated from the Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in the autumn and commenced studies at the Stern Business School at New York University.

The college freshman arrived for his inaugural day of classes in September accompanied by a security detail.

In an interview, Melania, 54, stated that she has advised her only son to “Go for it.” “Realise your aspirations.” “This is the path you have chosen.” “This is your life; you must heed your inclinations and preferences.”

The former model admired Barron in the interview, describing him as a “mature young man.”

Additionally, Melania commented that it was remarkable how he facilitated success by identifying the individuals his father needed to contact.

Barron, the youngest of Donald Trump’s five children, played a significant role in the former Republican candidate’s campaign. He assisted in selecting podcasts for interviews, thereby facilitating access to a younger demographic.

Consequently, Donald, aged 78, participated in interviews with streamer Adin Ross, “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” “Flagrant” with comedian Andrew Schulz, and the “PBD Podcast” with businessman Patrick Bet-David.

Prior to the interview’s commencement, the President-elect informed Theo Von that Barron had told him, “Dad, he’s big.” “He is a significant figure.”

In an interview with Politico’s “Playbook Deep Dive” podcast, Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller revealed that Barron had been instrumental in suggesting several podcasts for the candidate to appear on.

The young man has performed his duties admirably. “Every recommendation he has provided has been met with considerable acclaim by the audience and has achieved a considerable degree of online popularity.”

Trump was elected President of the United States in the 2024 election, defeating his opponent, Kamala Harris. Many observers considered this a decisive victory. He secured the majority of Electoral College votes and the popular vote.
