President Donald Trump recently dismissed rumors that his son, Barron Trump, is struggling at college. The 19-year-old, a junior at New York University (NYU), was the subject of various unsubstantiated stories claiming he faced difficulties, including bullying by peers and mysterious absences from Manhattan.

During a recent golf outing with his granddaughter Kai, Trump addressed these rumors directly. When Kai asked how Barron was doing at NYU, Trump replied simply, “Good, he’s doing good.” He added that Barron is a “good boy” and shared a warm family moment, reinforcing that Barron is well and focused on school.

Some gossip alleged that Barron shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower for a date, citing heightened security precautions. Despite being described as “awkward” by classmates, Barron reportedly had no trouble attracting attention since starting at NYU.

The rumors intensified recently with false claims that Barron had been rejected by Harvard University, sparked after President Trump cut federal contracts with the Ivy League school. Melania Trump’s office issued a firm denial, confirming Barron never applied to Harvard.

Breaking from family tradition, Barron attends NYU’s Stern School of Business, while many family members, including President Trump, went to the University of Pennsylvania or Georgetown University. Overall, the Trump family continues to push back against unfounded claims, emphasizing Barron’s steady college experience and focusing on his future.
