President Donald Trump revealed new details about his son Barron Trump’s college plans during a Monday interview.
The exclusive interview with the New York Post hinted that Barron will soon be studying at a New York University.
“He’s all set in a certain school that’s very good. He’s always been a very good student. He’s smart,” Trump told the Post.
Trump did not announce the name of the school. He instead teased that the university would be revealed soon.
The interview stated that Trump smiled when asked if the location would be NYU, though he would not share more until a later announcement.
Barron Trump, 18, graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach in May.
In July, Trump introduced his son during a rally near Miami, noting his post-graduation plans.
“A very young man who’s now going to college,” Trump said, according to Newsweek. “Got into every college he wanted to and he made his choice. And he’s a very good guy, I’ll tell you…He’s a very special guy, Barron Trump. This is the first time he’s ever done this.”
Trump stated during a “Fox & Friends Weekend” interview in June that Barron’s college choice could be impacted by anti-Israel riots held during the spring semester.
“Six months ago you look at a college, and you sort of want a certain college,” Trump said.
“And then you see all of these colleges are rioting, and maybe you want to go to a different kind of a college. Because there’s plenty of colleges that we also like that are different, and they don’t riot,” he added.
The news comes just days after Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, announced her plans to play golf at the University of Miami.
Kai, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump, thanked her grandfather for helping her through her young golf career.
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami. I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point,” Kai posted to Instagram.
“I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support. I would also like to thank my Mormor for always believing in me. I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging and pushing me to be the best person I can possibly be. I would like to thank my friends for always cheering me on. Last but not least I would love to thank Coach Janice and Coach Jim for giving me this opportunity. I am supper excited to be a cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes!” she added.
