Donald Trump has dropped a hint about what his youngest son, Barron, might do after graduating from high school.
Barron, 18, will graduate from Oxbridge Academy on Friday and there has been much speculation about what he might do next.
The former president has suggested in the past that he was considering going to the University of Pennsylvania, and he was also rumored to be considering New York University.
But speaking at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump revealed that Barron was now “looking at some colleges that are different than two months ago.”
There has been much talk about a possible political career for Barron after he was elected general delegate to help formally nominate your father donald trump like the republican Presidential candidate.
Barron, 18, will graduate from Oxbridge Academy on Friday and there has been much speculation about what he might do next.
The family has largely remained silent about Barron’s future plans and has only vaguely eluded to what he might do next.
But speaking at Mar-A-Lago last week, Trump gave a rare update. Newsweek reported that he said: ‘He’s doing a great job right now. He has great grades.
‘He’s going to university soon. And we’re seeing some universities that are different than two months ago.’
Little is known about Barron’s time at the school, but there was a rare sighting of him on the school’s Instagram page on April 12 when he was seen in the back of a photo taken at a themed prom. of Monte Carlo for his classmates from the Class of 24. .
Unlike his half-siblings, Barron was rarely seen during his father’s years in the White House, mainly at the request of his mother Melania, who is known for being protective of her son.
She rarely let Barron attend official White House events when she was first lady. Additionally, she would have Barron ride in a separate car, instead of the Beast, when she traveled in the presidential motorcade.
He also had Barron board Air Force One on the back stairs of the plane so there would be no photos of him walking up the front stairs with his parents.
‘He likes politics. It’s kind of funny,” Trump told ‘Kayal and Company’ on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT about his son Barron.
The former first lady has used her own presence to signal her support or discontent toward her husband.
She attended his announcement at Mar-a-Lago that he would make another presidential bid, but was not there on Super Tuesday night, when Trump effectively secured the Republican presidential nomination.
Barron was not present at any of those political events.
Previously, Barron has been the target of social media trolls.
Former NBC News executive Mike Sington said Barron was “fair game” turning 18, the birthday that marks adulthood. He later deleted the tweet after facing harsh backlash and criticism online.
The younger Trump was defended by many of his former first-born children, including Chelsea Clinton.
“I think he’s a private citizen,” he told ABC’s The View. “I firmly believe that if you are a private citizen, you have an unimpeachable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave it alone.”
And, last year, a Chicago woman was arrested for threatening to kill Barron.
Trump revealed that Barron likes politics and likes to give advice to his father.
‘He really has been a great student. And he likes politics. It’s kind of funny,” the former president told ‘Kayal and Company’ on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
“Sometimes he tells me, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,'” he added.
Trump has said in the past that the 18-year-old, who will graduate high school this week, is weighing which college he might attend. But, he noted, protests on campus have been a factor in that decision.
‘He is now a senior in high school and will go to college. And you know, a lot of these college options are changing because you see what’s happening in the last month,” Trump said.
Trump has criticized the pro-Palestine protests that have appeared on college campuses across the country. He told Time magazine that he would call in the National Guard.
Barron is considering New York University, the Daily Beast reported, but the school has seen its share of protesters and arrests by the NYPD. The Trump family has not made any announcements about where Barron will go.
The former president also praised his 6-foot-7 son’s appearance.
It’s a bit tall. “I’ll tell you he’s tall, but he’s a handsome guy,” Trump said.
The former president spent Friday in a Manhattan courtroom as New York continues to prosecute him over a hush payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Daniels testified in court this week, talking about her sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. She claimed that Trump told her at the time that he and Melania had separate bedrooms.
Trump has denied the matter.

Reports of Barron’s interest in politics seemed confirmed Wednesday when the Florida Republican Party tapped him to join his older brothers as the state’s at-large delegate.
The only requirement to be a delegate is to live and vote in the state. Barron, who turned 18 in March, will be able to cast his first votes in the August primary and November election.

That day, May 17, will be a very busy day for Donald Trump.
