University student president forced to resign over controversial comments about Barron Trump on campus

While Barron maintains a largely low-profile presence, his mother, former First Lady Melania Trump, has described him as “very vocal” behind the scenes, particularly in his father’s campaign. According to PEOPLE, Barron played a notable role as his father’s informal “podcast adviser.”

Despite his reserved nature, some students have noted his popularity on campus. “He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive—yes, even liberal students like him,” one anonymous classmate told PEOPLE.

However, Barron’s daily routine at NYU is anything but ordinary. Unlike most students, he commutes from Trump Tower in a motorcade and is constantly accompanied by Secret Service agents. As a result, he rarely participates in casual campus activities. One student recalled inviting him to play basketball, only to get the sense that Barron “wasn’t really allowed to do stuff.”

Walker, in her Vanity Fair interview, seemed to express frustration with the attention Barron receives, arguing that he should be allowed a more normal college experience. However, her comments, particularly the characterization of him as an “oddity,” were met with swift condemnation from conservative circles.

Following the uproar, Walker’s resignation was seen as inevitable.

Though she has not spoken publicly about her departure, the incident underscores the heightened scrutiny surrounding the Trump family and the often unforgiving nature of political discourse, even within ideological allies.

As for Barron, he has yet to respond to Donahue’s invitation to join the College Republicans. However, his presence at NYU continues to generate intrigue, with many wondering what role—if any—he will play in the conservative movement in the years to come.
