Barron Trump is in his sophomore year of college, studying at Stern Business Schoolโs DC campus. The 19-year-old has likely made many new friends, but as the presidentโs son, things arenโt always that simple. In fact, Barron is reportedly not allowed to give out his phone number, and there is one serious reason behind it.
Barron Trump began his college studies at Stern Business School on the New York University campus. He was seen traveling to and from school with Secret Service agents, and they are following him around on campus.
Although Barron makes an effort to blend in and stay under the radar while on campus, itโs no easy task. The group of bodyguards โ dressed down in casual, student-like outfits โ trail him throughout the day. Their presence doesnโt go unnoticed; it often turns heads and draws curious classmatesโ attention.
Yet Barron may have developed a clever trick to at least appear approachable. He is said to carry a black backpack to school, and although itโs necessary for keeping pens, notebooks, and computers safe, there could also be a hidden reason behind it.
On TikTok, one user has previously claimed that there is a specific reason Barron carries the $88 backpack wherever he goes.
โAs Trumpโs son, and the future heir, Barron is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but he always carries an inexpensive black school bag. Barron lived a life of luxury from childhood. He was raised by Melania, and had a life of ease and plenty since he was a child;โ the user wrote, per Express.
Barron Trump โhardly existsโ on campus
โHowever, no one would believe that under Trumpโs guidance, Barron is very thrifty in private. Since he entered college, he has been carrying an $88 black school bag, which makes Barron look more like an ordinary student.
โIt enables him to keep a low profile, and be more approachable in public, and allows him to participate in various activities more comfortably. In addition, since Trump became President, he has been opposed to extravagance and waste and has even donated his own money to charity at times.โ
The user on TikTok concluded: โIn order to follow in Trumpโs footsteps, Barron has always kept a low profile. Even at the age of 18, he has never bought luxury goods. To some extent, this can also better shape Barronโs positive image, prepare him for being the heir in the future and play a positive role in the overall image of the Trump family.โ
TMZ last year reported that Barron is keeping a very low profile. Secret Service agents are always nearby, and one source told the news outlet that he โhardly existsโ on campus as he arrives and leaves class quickly.
It is hard for Barron to be a โnormalโ college student with the agents nearby all the time. In fact, for security reasons, he canโt even hand out his phone number.
Why Barron Trump is forbidden from handing out his phone number to friends
A source told PageSix in April that giving out his phone number โcreates more trouble than itโs worth. If people get the number, they would give it out, and then a million people would be calling nonstop. Youโd have to change the number constantly, and itโd become a merry-go-round.โ
But instead of going to parties or other college activities, he has asked those he has met to hang out online, either through the chat app for gamers, Discord, or through the gaming platform Xbox.
โHe has added it to his repertoire,โ the source said. โItโs his communication platform of choice. Itโs gamer bro culture, they ask each other for their gamer tag. He knows the people.โ
