Barron Trump has officially embarked on his collegiate journey, kicking off his freshman year at none other than New York University’s illustrious Stern School of Business. For a kid who’s already faced the limelight due to his father, former President Donald Trump, the social landscape of this esteemed institution can only be described as a double-edged sword—or, more accurately, a field of landmines laid by rabid anti-Trumpers. It seems that every professor, student, and school administrator around him is convinced that his dad is not just a political figure but a veritable monster undermining democracy itself.
The atmosphere at NYU’s Stern is likely to be thick with the echoes of the infamous 2020 open letter that rallied over 1,000 academic elites—mostly business school administrators and professors—who condemned Trump as a threat to American ideals. These so-called intellectuals joined forces to declare that Trump’s presidency was an affront to rationality and civility, lambasting him for a laundry list of alleged horrors that include everything from “denigrating science” to “inciting violence.” If that sounds like a college syllabus filled with hyperbole, it’s because it is. Such sentiments are feeding into an anti-Trump agenda that’s omnipresent on campus.

As Barron roams the hallowed halls of the Stern School, it remains unclear whether this environment will pose any threat to his safety. One thing is certain—he won’t be wandering around without an entourage. Reports indicate that Barron will have robust details about U.S. Secret Service agents or private security trailing him. In a city where emotions run high, and lines are drawn, the presence of heavy-duty protectors seems to be a prudent measure. After all, when your dad is a polarizing figure, one must always be ready for a debate, even if it potentially involves a mob of history majors.
Adding a sprinkle of irony to the mix, Barron made his entrance on campus with a meet-and-greet style pit stop at the office of J.P. Eggers, the interim dean who happened to have put his signature on that very anti-Trump letter. It brings a new meaning to “diplomatic relations,” as the former first son shakes hands with the same individuals who once disparaged his father. With security on high alert, Barron is reportedly commuting from Trump Tower, just a stone’s throw away, to avoid a hostile campus environment—though one wonders if the local coffee shop has an “Under Trump’s Wing” discount.
In a moment that could only be described as delightful for conservatives, Barron’s choice of NYU didn’t just drop like a well-placed bombshell. It comes after a mysterious summer of college selection that had Trump supporters holding their breath. Former President Trump, in a nod to his son’s academic prowess, proudly revealed that Barron had choices galore when it came to college applications but ultimately chose the high-caliber business school. For Barron, stepping into the intellectually charged yet adversarial domain of NYU may just be another opportunity to strengthen his resilience—alongside a few extra layers of security.
