Barron Trump’s Missing Semester Sparks Speculation
As NYU classes resumed this fall, students quickly noticed a glaring absence: Barron Trump, 19, the youngest son of Donald and Melania Trump, was nowhere to be seen. Reports suggest a campus change, a busy summer, and ongoing parental guidance behind the scenes.
A Campus Mystery
Barron was expected to start his sophomore year at NYU’s Stern School of Business on September 2, 2025. However, campus security and insiders say he has vanished from view, with no official explanation. One security officer told People magazine, “From what I was told, he’s doing a semester at another NYU campus.” NYU has remained silent, citing privacy concerns.
Speculation has run wild: Could he be in Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, or Washington D.C.? Or is he attending one of NYU’s global campuses to escape media scrutiny?
Life Off-Campus
Barron has previously avoided campus housing, opting to commute from Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan. Insiders say this choice reflects Melania Trump’s close supervision and her desire to protect him from media and online scrutiny.
“He will do everything she can to make sure Barron succeeds in school,” a political source noted.

Summer Moves: Building a Business
While most students relaxed, Barron reportedly spent the summer traveling between Trump properties. He attended private meetings and quietly pursued his first major business venture.
A source revealed, “Barron has been actively working on his own financial interests and connecting with others involved in the same area.” From Mar-a-Lago to Bedminster, he stayed out of the public eye while remaining close to his parents.
Early Business Ambitions
Barron’s entrepreneurial efforts began in July 2024, when he incorporated Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. in Wyoming with two partners. By November, the company dissolved—shortly after Donald Trump’s election victory. Sources say the closure was strategic, designed to avoid media scrutiny during the transition, with plans to relaunch in spring.
Despite the branding change, the company’s model reportedly remained the same: leveraging the Trump family network.
Building His Own Path
Friends and insiders insist Barron is independent, bright, and ambitious. “He has his own ideas and understands what people his age are looking for,” a source said. “He’s entrepreneurial and not afraid to take initiative.”
The 6’7” first son is reportedly networking, drafting plans, and studying the power strategies his family has perfected over decades.
The Silence Continues
As NYU declines to comment and Team Trump keeps information under wraps, Barron’s next move remains a closely guarded secret. For now, speculation continues—but insiders insist he is quietly preparing his own future.
