    Online Niel Posted on

    Melania Trump has been extremely protective of Barron Trump, her only child with Donald Trump. The 18-year-old moved from Florida to New York for college.

    play

    • During her husband’s 2024 presidential bid, Melania Trump has kept a low profile. The same was true for their son, Barron Trump.
    • Barron Trump attended his first Trump rally on July 9, 2024 in Doral, Florida with his father and older siblings, but did not give a speech.
    • Barron Trump was the only immediate member of the Trump family who did not attend the 2024 Republican National Convention. He did, however, appear with his family on election night.

    In January 2025, Donald Trump returns to the White House. Will Melania Trump be there?also?

    During his first term as president, Donald and Melania Trump did not they live together at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, DC—at least during the first few months of his presidency.

    In 2017, the third Mrs. Donald Trump she spent the first five months of her administration living apart from the president—so she and their only son, Barron Trumphe could stay behind in New York so he could finish school.

    At the time, Barron Trump was 11 years old. His protective mother had largely kept him out of the limelight, a trend that continued until he turned 18 in March 2024.

    But now that his famous father has been re-elected president and Barron Trump is a young adult freshman at New York Universityit’s natural to wonder if Melania Trump will stay nearby in New York when Donald Trump moves back into the White House. And since she’s an “empty nester,” a term that describes a parent whose child has left home, it’s a fantasy most parents of college-aged children can relate to.

    According to one People magazine storyan anonymous source said Melania Trump will likely go wherever Barron Trump goes.

    Here’s what we know.

    In 2017, Melania and Barron Trump lived briefly in New York while Donald Trump was in the White House

    When Donald Trump moved to Washington, DC to serve as president in 2017, Melania and Barron, for a while, stayed in New York so Barron can finish his school year. He attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in Manhattan. Barron and Melania Trump remained in New York during the first five months of the Trump administration.

    After that, Barron Trump then attended school closer to Washington, DC at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, about 14 miles from the White House. He and Melania Trump officially moved in that summer.

    After the 2020 presidential election, Donald, Melania and Barron Trump have been living primarily at Mar-a-Lago

    Donald Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lagoin Palm Beach, Florida, became known as the Winter White House or the South White House during the Trump administration. Although Donald Trump has used his New York address as his primary residence for years, he made Mar-a-Lago his primary residence in 2019. Mar-a-Lago is usually open to members during the “social season” from Palm Beach, approximately from October to April. But the Trump family’s neighborhoods are separate.

    After Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to President Joe Biden, Donald, Melania and Barron Trump went home to Mar-a-Lago. Barron Trump lived there until after graduating from high school. On May 17, 2024, when he graduated Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beachhe was one of 116 seniors who received the diploma. While an announcer announced the names of the graduates, Barron Trump’s name was not announced, likely a decision to avoid any further attention.

    Around this time, Donald Trump was in court over the hush money case involving adult porn star Stormy Daniels. He also ran into legal trouble following the infamous Mar-a-Lago document raid.

    2024 presidential election divisive, assassination attempts keep Barron Trump from campaign appearances

    Barron Trump was originally selected to serve as Florida’s delegate to the 2024 Republican National Convention — which would have been his first official campaign appearance for his father — but Melania Trump said on May 10 that Barron Trump would not be able to attend because of “prior commitments.”

    In 2020, the entire Trump family – Melania Trump, Barron TrumpDonald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Trump — attended the Republican National Convention as a unit to support former President Donald Trump.

    But at the 2024 RNC, when Donald Trump officially accepted the Republican nomination on July 18, Barron Trump was the only immediate Member of the Trump family who did not attend.

    The week before, his father survived an assassination attempt at a Trump rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania.

    When there was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, the former first lady gave a statement the next day to express her thoughts and concerns: “When I saw that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I knew my life and Barron’s life were on the verge of a devastating change,” she wrote she in a statement. “A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine tried to highlight Donald’s passion – his laughter, his ingenuity, his love of music and his inspiration,” Melania Trump wrote. “The basic aspects of my husband’s life – his human side – have been buried under the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man I’ve been with through the best of times and the worst of times.”

    In September, Ryan Routhwas arrested in a plot to kill Donald Trump at the president-elect’s golf course near West Palm Beach, Florida.

    After the summer of 2024, Barron Trump is leaving Florida. Melania Trump called New York “home.”” because Barron Trump started college there

    In August 2024, Barron Trump left Florida for New York University’s Stern School of Business.

    The NYU campus is not far from Trump Tower in Manhattan, where Barron Trump spent much of his childhood and lived until his father was sworn in as the 45th president in early 2017.

    It is not known whether Donald or Melania Trump attended the rites of passage for their college-bound son. But Melania Trump issued a rare public statement about New York. On social media platform X, Melania Trump posted a photo of the New York City skyline on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, and mentioned how he feels about the iconic destination: “New York City captured my heart the moment I arrived, 28 years ago. This electrifying city is not only my home; it is a colorful canvas. where dreams come to life, New York’s iconic skyline and vibrant culture inspire me every day.” This was around the same week Barron Trump and other college freshmen are starting Fall 2024 classes with student orientation, college “move-in” weekends, etc.

    Although Melania Trump made several campaign appearances in the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections, her absence was notable during the 2024 presidential election. After the July 2024 Republican National Convention, she appeared at a Trump rally on October 27 2024 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Barron Trump apparently did not attend, even though he was less than three miles away from NYU. Interestingly, it was the same weekend NYU Alumni and Family Weekend. It is not known if Donald and Melania Trump attended their only son’s college event.

    Will Melania Trump stay in New York while Barron Trump attends college there? Will Melania Trump live in the White House in 2025?

    Barron Trump is projected to be part of NYU’s class of 2028. On-campus housing at NYU is optional, but “first-year Manhattan schools residents are assigned to Manhattan residents only. There are no exceptions,” according to the university. , which has its own NYU Case’s Instagram handle.

    NYU is less than 5 miles from Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York.

    Will Barron Trump leave New York for the White House in January 2025? Will his protective mother, Melania Trump, stay close to her only son?

    One People magazine storyan anonymous source said Melania Trump will likely go wherever Barron Trump goes.

    Only time will tell.
