Donald Trump’s re-election and his hunky son’s enrollment at NYU are fueling college Republican Club membership, sources tell The Post.

Students are proudly wearing their MAGA hats on campus, membership numbers have doubled and in New York, the club is fielding many enquiries about Barron Trump, a freshman at the Stern School of Business this year.

“Interest was piqued initially by the fact that Barron Trump had matriculated as a student at our business school, but the election motivated a lot of people to act,” said Kaya Walker, president of NYU’s College Republican Club.

Barron is a fantastic influence.

Hunky?

It was Barron that convinced his Dad to go on Rogan!

And Kai Trump!

This is great! And good news. Thanks for brightening our day. It’s rainy here, and cold, so I especially appreciate the smile!

Salute

I assume it has mostly to do with Charlie Kirk’s organizational skills.

GREAT!

“Barron Trump had matriculated as a student”

**Off Topic
I’m glad Barron is being accepted at his new school, but on a side note, I’ve never liked that term ‘matriculated’.
It sounds artificial and affected.
The only time it’s used in American English would be with schools, but it’s a rather outdated term.
Why not just say ‘he has enrolled’?
Any-Hoo... enjoy yr day!

Barron is 6’9” (yes, six foot nine), in excellent physical shape, and very smart, so yes girls will find him hunky even if they are liberals.

A lot of cowed, male, biz majors on campuses across America.

Good if they discover some stones.

so yes girls will find him hunky even if they are liberals.

I suppose as a straight old dude, I wouldn’t know what passes for “hunky” these days. My assumption would be that 6’9” 18 year old would trend more towards “lanky” without a bit more meat on the bones. But I won’t argue if women think a 6’9 18 year old is “hunky”. Just seemed like an odd term to apply to a seemingly really good and bright kid.

Suppose if the author is a tweenaged girl, “hunky” isn’t odd.

[JZelle]

Probably a Hank Stram fan.

[Bigg Red]

Love it.

[Bigg Red]

I can see why young women would find him attractive.

[Bigg Red]

Who is that young woman? Who stole the back of her pants?

[mmichaels1970]

Me too. It just strikes me as odd coming from a news article written by a grown adult. I mean, what is this, “Tiger Beat” magazine? Like a 50 year old man calling an 18 year old girl a hottie or bombshell. Whatever. Isn’t a hill worth dying on for me, just seemed weird.
