Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, is embarking on his college journey at NYU's prestigious Stern School of Business. This comes despite the revelation that the school's interim dean, J.P. Eggers, once signed a letter criticizing Trump as a "threat" to the United States.

The letter, signed by various faculty members, condemned Trump's leadership and urged business leaders to speak out. Despite this past political stance, Barron chose NYU for its academic excellence and proximity to Trump Tower.

Former President Trump expressed pride in Barron's acceptance to multiple colleges and highlighted his intelligence and passion for soccer. Barron's decision to study business at Stern aligns with the Trump family's entrepreneurial background.

Meanwhile, Trump revealed how Barron is playing a role in his 2024 presidential campaign, connecting him with Gen Z voters through social media influencers and podcasters.

Barron's presence at NYU, where the dean once publicly opposed his father, adds another layer of complexity to his college experience. It remains to be seen how this dynamic will unfold as Barron navigates his academic and social life on campus.
