Barron Trump Starts Freshman Year at NYU

Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, has started his freshman year at New York University, attracting significant attention from peers and social media. Numerous TikTok videos capturing his movements around campus have gone viral, often featuring him closely followed by Secret Service agents and earning him the nickname 'Sasquatch-esque'. One video on September 10 amassed 12,000 likes, while another on September 5 received over 41,000 likes, highlighting his popularity among students. Former Secret Service agent Paul Eckloff emphasized the importance of monitoring social media to ensure the safety of presidential children, as public exposure can lead to security risks. Barron's college experience is further complicated by the constant scrutiny he faces, which differs from the more private college lives of previous presidential children. Despite not attending the family-favored Wharton School, Donald Trump expressed pride in Barron’s choice of NYU's Stern Business School, emphasizing his son's intelligence and growth beyond childhood.
