Barron Trump moving back to the White House

 September 11, 2025

Barron Trump is moving back into the White House, bringing him closer to his mother and father.

The first son spent his freshman year of college in New York, where he took classes at NYU's Greenwich Village campus. He will resume his studies at the university's academic center in Washington, D.C, the New York Post reported.

Barron back in D.C.

Barron was most recently living at Trump Tower in Manhattan, where he grew up. He commuted from there to NYU's Stern School of Business, often grabbing the attention of journalists as he came and went.

The president's son had little chance of blending in, and he was said to lead a secluded life, interacting with friends mostly online - a precaution for his safety.

Barron was nowhere in sight when classes resumed last week, fueling speculation about his whereabouts.

NYU's D.C. campus has just 120 students, so it is likely that Barron will be even more noticeable than he was in New York.

The White House will look a little different than it did when Barron was living there during his father's first term. President Trump recently renovated the Rose Garden, and there are plans to complete a grand ballroom before his term is up.

Embracing family

When Barron started college in New York last fall, it was not yet clear that his father would be returning to Washington, D.C.

"It was his [Barron's] decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that," Melania told Fox News last fall.

"I'm very proud of what he grew up to," Melania continued. "His strength. His intelligence. His knowledge, his kindness. It's admirable."

Barron is known to be close with his family, and his mother is very protective of him. She has taken on a greater role within the White House, pushing anti-revenge porn legislation into law and personally appealing to Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

While her son remains an elusive figure, the 19-year-old college sophomore is said to be a fledgling businessman - who many say has a striking resemblance to his father.

Barron reportedly spent his summer setting up deals and enjoying time with his family.

“Barron has been actively working on his own financial interests and has spent time with others who he is involved with in that area,” a source told People.
