Mystery as Barron Trump goes missing for NYU's first week back
Share and Follow

The mystery regarding Barron Trump’s location intensified on Friday after reports emerged that the president’s son did not attend the first week of classes at New York University.

Barron, 19, has not set foot on the Stern School of Business campus in the Big Apple for his second year of college, according to People.

When asked about Barron’s whereabouts, campus security officers told the outlet, ‘From what I was told, he’s doing a semester at another NYU campus.’

The Daily Mail contacted NYU’s Stern School of Business and the White House for comment. 

NYU has several campus including in the Greenwich Village, Downtown Brooklyn, Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. 

The school also offers study abroad programs around the world in Washington, DC, Paris, London and more.

Barron, the sole offspring of Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, standing at an impressive 6’9″, has not been seen at any official White House events or alongside his father, Donald Trump, for several months.

The 19-year-old was last viewed with his father during the inauguration on January 20, where he appeared poised and assured as he made a public appearance.

But since then, Barron hasn’t stepped out with the 79-year-old president – and his noticeable absence has prompted speculation over his whereabouts.

Despite not being seen out with his dad, Barron has been photographed in and around Manhattan.

In April, he was pictured showing off a shaggier, more relaxed mane as he strode with purpose to university classes.

The towering NYU’s Stern School of Business freshman – who stands at 6ft9 – also sported a loose sweater, jeans, and Adidas sneakers.

Barron reportedly commutes to college from the Trump Tower apartment, home to his father and doting 54-year-old mother Melania.

To get him to class, a motorcade of black SUVs drives him 20 minutes to Tisch Hall, Stern’s undergrad building.

Barron has to find creative ways to meet people , including campus co-eds, as he navigates life at one of the country’s most prestigious universities.

It comes as no surprise that the family members of any sitting president of the U.S. take extra precautions to ensure their safety.

As Barron attempted to keep a low profile on campus last year, his plainclothes bodyguards were spotted accompanying him.

And for Barron Trump – the president’s youngest son – this means avoiding giving anyone his phone number.

This summer, Barron reportedly turned his back on romance to instead prioritize getting his business ideas off the ground 

According to insiders, Barron has been busy taking meetings with business partners, developing tech projects, and setting up deals.

‘Barron has been actively working on his own financial interests and has spent time with others who he is involved with in that area,’ a source told People.

‘Still, he has spent a great deal of time with his family.’

In July, it was reported that Barron had found love and was spending lots of time with his new love interest, although the identity of the mystery woman was never revealed.

At the time, a source told NewsNation: ‘Barron has a really nice girlfriend and hangs out with her a lot.’

However, People reports that his love life has since taken a backseat in the last few weeks.

Instead, they claim that Barron is not currently dating and has instead been focussed on his business and his family.

‘I don’t think that’s a big deal in his life right now,’ the insider added. ‘He has more school, a family who dotes on him and a career of his own he is launching.’
