Trump says son Barron will attend university in New York

Former President Trump revealed his son Barron, who turned 18 in March, will attend a university in New York, describing the school as “very good” without naming it in a new interview.

When asked by the New York Post if the younger Trump has decided where he is going to go to school, the former president said, “He is. We’re going to announce it soon.”

“He’s all set in a certain school that’s very good,” he told the Post in an interview released Tuesday.

Former President Trump confirmed it is in New York and smiled when the Post asked him if it was New York University, but he maintained they will announce the choice “very soon.”

Barron Trump, the youngest of the former president’s children, graduated from high school in May from the Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Fla.

He and his mother, Melania Trump, have largely stayed out of the public eye as former President Trump pursues a second term in the White House. Barron Trump, however, made his political debut at his father’s rally last month, and the former president has suggested he’s taken political advice from him.

He was also tapped to be a Florida delegate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last month, when his father became the official GOP nominee for president. However, he declined the invitation due to “prior commitments.”

The former president last month described Barron Trump as a “very good guy” and said he got into every school he applied to.

Earlier this week, former President Trump’s granddaughter Kai Trump announced her verbal commitment to play golf at the University of Miami. She is the eldest daughter of Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump.
