Melania Trump shuts down Barron Trump conspiracy

Melania Trump has shut down a rumor about her son, Barron Trump, allegedly being rejected from Harvard University. This speculation began after reports emerged that the Trump administration ordered federal agencies to cut \$100 million in contracts with Harvard and freeze \$3.2 billion in grants, following disputes over the university’s alleged ties with China and accusations of fostering violence and antisemitism. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem even ordered Harvard’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification to be revoked unless they provided detailed records of protest activities. Harvard has called the move “unlawful” and is working to support its international community.

Melania’s spokesperson, Nicholas Clemens, firmly stated that Barron never applied to Harvard and described the rumors as “completely false.” Barron, 19, is currently a student at NYU’s Stern School of Business in New York City, having started there last September after graduating from Oxbridge Academy in Florida. Melania previously mentioned that Barron’s college experience is different from most students’ because of his family’s high-profile status.
