Barron Trump, the youngest son of President Donald Trump, is making waves for his unexpectedly down-to-earth appearance and clever approach to navigating student life at New York University.
Now 19, Barron was recently spotted outside NYU’s Stern School of Business, where he’s currently studying finance. In contrast to his usually polished and presidential image, the young Trump was dressed in a simple white polo shirt, khaki pants, and sneakers—his hair casually tousled rather than styled to perfection.

The look, captured in exclusive Daily Mail photos, marks a shift from his usual boardroom-ready style, often likened to that of his father. Yet despite his efforts to blend in, one detail still sets him apart: the presence of at least one Secret Service agent closely tailing him on campus.
In addition to their protective duties, the agents have reportedly placed limitations on Barron’s social life, most notably when it comes to dating. “If people get the number, they would give it out, and then a million people would be calling nonstop,” a source told the outlet. “You’d have to change the number constant, and it’d become a merry-go-round.”
To maintain connections without compromising security, Barron has embraced a distinctly Gen Z workaround: online gaming platforms. Initially relying on Discord, he’s now expanded to Xbox as his primary communication tool. “He has added it to his repertoire,” the source said. “It’s his communication platform of choice.”
Rather than swapping phone numbers with classmates, Barron exchanges gamer tags—a discreet method that allows for interaction without breaching his tightly guarded privacy. It’s a move insiders say taps into the protective “gamer bro culture” and keeps him out of the limelight.

Despite his quiet persona, Barron’s tech savvy and growing influence have not gone unnoticed by his family. In a March appearance on Fox News, Donald Trump told host Laura Ingraham about his son’s technological skill: “I turn off his laptop, I said, ‘Oh good,’ and I go back five minutes later, he’s got his laptop. I said, ‘How’d you do that?’” He added proudly that Barron has “an unbelievable aptitude in technology.”
Barron is also playing a quiet but key role in his father’s political efforts. His mother, Melania Trump, recently credited him with helping shape campaign outreach. “He was very vocal, and he gave advice to his father… he knew exactly who his father needed to contact and to talk to,” she said. Donald Trump echoed that sentiment, remarking, “He’s pretty popular, even more so than my other sons.”
