Barron Trump, youngest son of President Donald Trump, returned to the campus of New York University on Tuesday for the first time since his father's inauguration, the Financial Express reported. The younger Trump is a freshman studying business at the Stern School of Business.
The younger Trump was spotted wearing an off-white sweater with a coordinating polo shirt underneath. He paired that with black jeans and sneakers for a preppy casual look.
Barron returned to school later than other students as he missed the first few weeks due to his father's swearing-in on Jan. 20. Many social media users shared photos of Barron back at school and looking every bit the part of a handsome and wealthy scholar.

Barron is just 18 years old, but the New York Post reported that he's already looking to get his own real estate firm up and running. The younger Trump is currently working with two business partners who form Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc.
The company, domiciled at the Trump residence in Palm Beach, Florida, is eyeing the luxury property market. There are plans for golf courses and other projects in Utah, Arizona, and Idaho, a business plan that mirrors the elder Trump's real estate sweet spot.
This is all coming together while Barron is only part of the way into his first year at college. His mother, first lady Melania Trump, said in October on Fox News' The Five that Barron "loves his classes and his professors."
Another insider shared that despite not having a "normal" transition to college life, Barron is "really popular with the ladies" at the left-leaning institution. "He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive — yes, even liberal people like him,” the insider added.
This new visibility is in contrast to Donald Trump's first term when Barron was virtually kept hidden. He said very little throughout the 2024 campaign, but by the end, it was clear that Donald Trump's formerly nonpolitical son was one of his greatest assets.
As it turned out, Barron was the Trump campaign's dark horse who certainly had a hand in pushing the candidate over the finish line. "He knew the youth vote," Donald Trump said at the inaugural parade, according to Fox News.
"You know, we won the youth vote by 36 points…He said, ‘Dad, you got to go out, do Joe Rogan, do all these guys,’" the president said of his son's advice.
During the campaign, Donald Trump's advisers created a list of potential podcast appearances. The UK Daily Mail reported that when presented with the list, the then-candidate said, "Call Barron and see what he thinks and let me know."
One of the first Barron suggested was Aldin Ross, a 24-year-old internet phenomenon who interviews controversial guests like Andrew Tate and also livestreams himself playing video games. Barron urged his father to speak with podcast king Joe Rogan, which was a winning strategy indeed.
Barron has quite the pedigree and is already a standout even as a college student. His time at NYU won't be typical, but it already seems it will be fruitful.
