Barron Trump has yet again found himself in the spotlight without asking for it. Kaya Walker, NYU College Republicans of America’s president, was forced to resign a few days ago over a comment she made about Barron being an “oddity on campus.” Her words spread across the internet and quickly went viral, and while some students seem to think the backlash has been exaggerated, Trump fans were furious. So, I ask, is it really reasonable that a student president has to resign over such a harmless statement? And what message does it send to young people in the US that...

The New York University (NYU) chapter president of the College Republicans of America (CRA) has resigned after describing President Donald Trump's son Barron, a student at the university, as "sort of like an oddity on campus" in an interview with Vanity Fair. Kaya Walker resigned on Sunday and this was announced by the CRA in an X post on Monday, which described her comments as "inappropriate." Newsweek contacted Walker, via the New York University CRA chapter, and the CRA for comment on Tuesday by email and online inquiry form outside of regular office hours. Walker spoke to Vanity Fair for...

Everyone who knows me sees me as a realist, some even a pessimist. With that in mind, you’ll understand the weight of what I’m about to say: I believe we’re on the brink of uncovering a dark legacy in this country that’s been hidden for far too long. If you’re struggling to grasp how your ex government could do such things, my advice is to either brace yourself or go hide until someone saves you. I truly think the dam is breaking, and regardless of how it unfolds, real change is coming. Those at the federal and state levels should...

After Monday’s inauguration festivities, it’s time we talk about Barron Trump and the force of nature this young man is turning out to be. The last time we saw Barron on the public stage was eight years ago. Back then, he was a shy, slightly awkward (but totally adorable) kid who became a favorite target of the media and left-wing ghouls. Fast forward to today, and Barron has grown into a tall, well-mannered young man. Of course, all of President Trump’s children are gems. But there’s something extra special about Barron: he’s got that Trump showmanship, and as he gets...

Barron Trump was the target of a cruel joke on Saturday Night Live this weekend, with one comedian mocking the 18-year-old's impressive height. The comedy sketch made a pointed hit at the 6-foot-9-inch NYU student in the first SNL show since Trump's historic inauguration on Monday - with cast member James Austin Johnson playing the president. But the skit took a wicked turn - with Johnson comparing the President's youngest son to the Lord of the Rings character Gandalf, because of his physical appearance. The cutting jab comes just months after Barron re-emerged into the public eye on his 18th...

The establishment's worst nightmare isn't Donald Trump. It's his teenage son. With ONE decision he sent the mainstream media scrambling. Here's how an 18-year-old just outsmarted every political expert: In 2024, something unprecedented happened in political media: A presidential candidate completely abandoned traditional news outlets. Instead, he went all-in on podcasts, YouTube, and creator collaborations. The mastermind behind this shift? His 18-year-old son. But here's where it gets fascinating... See, Barron Trump understood something crucial about Gen Z: 63% of them prefer to see "real people" rather than polished media personalities. They trust long-form conversations over soundbites. And they can...

Fame suits him. First son Barron Trump’s tailor revealed what the scion is like behind closed doors — painting a picture in a new interview of a charismatic and humble young man. Nathan Pearce, CEO of the exclusive luxury clothing outfitter Pearce Bespoke, personally saw to the making of the suits for the 18-year-old Barron — who has drawn the nation’s attention due to his dashing appearance, mysterious mien and larger-than-life height. The celebrity outfitter had nothing but high praise for the New York University freshman in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily. "He’s a super-bright kid. He’s well beyond...

Apparently, the 18-year-old New York University [student] knows what he wants, when it comes to suits – custom. Ahead of the inauguration, President Donald Trump’s youngest son worked with Bespoke Pearce’s chief executive officer Nathan Pearce to select a few suits, dress skirts and an ultra-dark charcoal cashmere overcoat.

Donald Trump and wife Melania were all smiles as they watched a fireworks display at one of the many celebrations being held in the Washington, D.C., area ahead of the inauguration. Trump marked his return to power with a celebration at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, about 30 miles outside Washington.

All of Trump's adult children and their partners were in attendance, with Don Jr....

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.

Finally, Republicans and conservatives have gotten smart about social media. For years conservative groups whined about social media companies like Facebook discriminating against conservative voices – and they did and in some cases still do. But the Trump campaign got smart and employed social media highly effectively – and much more so than the Democrats. That decision proved crucial to his victory. He passed on a second debate with Kamala Harris. He passed on high-profile interviews with 60 Minutes, NBC, and CNN. Instead, Trump appeared on countless new media platforms, sitting down with Joe Rogan and other podcasters. Some 30...

Incoming first lady Melania Trump said Friday her son, Barron Trump, was “very vocal” in giving advice to his father, President-elect Trump, during the 2024 presidential election, particularly on how to connect with younger audiences. Melania Trump credited the 18-year-old with convincing the president-elect to sit down with streamers and podcasters in order to reach younger voters. “He is a grown young man. I’m very proud of him about his knowledge, even about politics and giving an advice to his father — he brought in so many young people. He knows his generation, because nowadays the young generation, they don’t...

John Morgan, a former major Democratic mega-donor, said Wednesday night that President elect-Donald Trump’s son, Barron, is “smarter” than Vice President Kamala Harris and her entire campaign. Harris has reportedly told her advisers that she is “staying in the fight” and is considering whether to launch another presidential campaign in 2028 or run for governor in California when Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term ends, according to a Monday report by Politico. Morgan, an attorney who has grown increasingly critical of Harris’ campaign, argued that Barron Trump is smarter than anyone on the Harris campaign by encouraging his father to...

Judge Cannon on Tuesday held a final day of hearings on Jack Smith’s classified documents case against President Trump. President Trump’s lawyers filed a flurry of motions to dismiss Jack Smith’s case. Judge Cannon scheduled an expanded hearing to allow both sides to present their cases. Cannon did not issue any rulings after Tuesday’s hearing concluded. One of Jack Smith’s prosecutors threw a tantrum and accused Trump’s attorneys of “hijacking” the hearing. Judge Cannon interrupted Smith’s prosecutor David Harbach and put him in his place. “There is no hijacking going on — it’s about to end,” Judge Aileen Cannon responded,...

"Every single recommendation he’s had has turned out to be absolute ratings gold that’s broke the internet. Former President Donald Trump's youngest son Barron has been helping his dad to "break the internet" by suggesting and encouraging him to appear on specific shows and podcasts for interviews. Barron Trump, 18, has been deeply involved in helping to recommend media stops for the GOP nominee, according to a top Trump strategist. “Barron has been very involved in recommending a number of the podcasts that we should do,” Trump press strategist Jason Miller told reporters during Politico Playbook's Deep Dive podcast. “I...

Former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, Barron Trump, was spotted arriving at New York University Wednesday to kick off his first day of college life. The towering 18-year-old was flanked by Secret Service agents as he stepped onto the downtown Manhattan campus with a black Swiss Gear backpack casually slung over his shoulder. Dressed in a white polo, black pants and Adidas Gazelle sneakers, Barron’s first stop was the dean’s office before being whisked off to classes, sources told The Post. It wasn’t immediately clear what classes the teen plans to take while at NYU, where tuition starts from roughly...

College move-in days and orientations are underway across the country, as all eyes are on freshman Barron Trump. The youngest of former President Donald Trump's five children has been out of public sight since last seen smiling and throwing fist-pumps in the air at one of his father's rallies, when Donald Trump announced Barron Trump was taking the next step and going off to college. "He's now going to college, got into every college he wanted to," said Trump during the Miami rally on July 9. "He made his choice and he is a very good guy." Trump did not...

One of them is too young to vote and the other only graduated high school just a couple of months ago. But Donald Trump has a secret weapon in his bid to reach Gen Z voters – his youngest son Barron, 18, and the teen's influencer best friend Bo Loudon, 17. The tech-savvy teens are busily briefing the 78-year-old former President behind the scenes on the new landscape of streamers and YouTube stars with millions of followers.

Barron Trump looked born for the role. Which, of course, he was. Earlier this week he made his first appearance at one of his father’s political rallies. And he looked anything but an 18-year-old novice. Barron was sitting at the front of the crowd but as soon as Donald Trump pointed at him and began to introduce him, the 18-year-old moved like a practiced veteran. He raised his 6-foot-7-inch frame upwards, waved his right hand to all sides and acknowledged the applause. This looked easy. Towering over those around him he then held a clenched left fist above his head...

Trump knows that Barron has a strange hold on the affections of many of his most hardened supporters. And if there's anything more outlandish than the personality cult that surrounds him, it's the one that is rapidly developing around his youngest child. ... These cherry-picked details helped spawn a bizarre theory – eagerly taken up by pro-Trump tin-foil hatters - that Donald and Barron are time-travellers and that Barron will one day become an all-conquering 'American Caesar'.
