It’s Election Day, which means all eyes are on presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. While the former president may return to the Oval Office, his son Barron is making his way into the world as he starts college.

The son is back in New York, where he is attending New York University’s Stern School of Business, but according to his mother Melania, with whom he is close, he hasn’t exactly left the nest.

“I can’t say I’m an empty nest,” Melania told Fox News. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York, he wants to study in New York and he wants to live in his house, and I respect that.” .”

As Donald’s youngest son, Barron has led a life of luxury. He grew up in the family’s lavish penthouse and attended private school in Manhattan. His life was turned upside down in some ways when he moved to the White House at the age of ten.

Meanwhile, Melania calls him ‘Little Donald’.

Barron may be 18 and just starting college, but his dad doesn’t think he’s “there yet” when it comes to his love life.

“He’s very smart,” Donald said. “He’s a good student and all that. He goes to a great school and is doing very well. And he’s a very nice guy.’

“You can see that (but) I’m not sure if he is. I don’t think he’s had a girlfriend yet. I don’t think so,” he continued. “He doesn’t mind being alone, but he is someone who gets along well with people.”
