President Trump gave an update on his youngest son Barron’s progress at New York University shortly before the first son started his sophomore year at a satellite campus in Washington, DC.
Trump embarked on a golfing outing with his granddaughter, 18-year-old Kai Trump, in late August. During the ride around the course, Kai vlogged their day — and asked the president some burning questions about the White House and his personal life.

Kai asked how her uncle, Barron Trump, 19, was doing at NYU, mere days before news broke that he would be moving into the White House and completing the fall semester at a secondary campus in the nation’s capital.
“Good, he’s doing good. He’s a good boy. He loves you. He said, ‘Say hello to Kai, dad’,” Trump said.

“I said, ‘Barron, why don’t you come out and watch?’ … he’s so cute.”
Barron rarely makes public appearances alongside his family and has largely kept to himself since beginning his studies at NYU’s Stern School of Business.

Much of what little is known about the president’s youngest, including his affinity for tennis over golf, is shared by Trump himself.
Trump has hinted that Barron is more involved behind the scenes and helped guide his team’s approach to capturing the youth vote through various podcast appearances ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The first son has been hard at work putting his mettle to the test with new ventures, including launching a luxury real estate company in January 2025 and apparently clinching millions of dollars in cryptocurrency in June.
Jake Advent, the president’s former social media manager, recently suggested appointing the business student to TikTok’s board.
Trump has previously praised Barron for his “aptitude in technology.”
