00:00We've gotten our first glimpse of Barron Trump's campus life at NYU,
00:04and it's yet another reminder that, like many of his dad's buildings, Barron is a skyscraper, too.
00:10He's very tall.
00:11He is tall. How tall is he?
00:13About 6'8".
00:14As Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House in January 2025,
00:18his youngest son Barron is finishing up his first semester as a freshman at New York University.
00:24And though some of his classmates have revealed some details of his college life,
00:27Barron has mostly kept things private while on campus.
00:31A photographer did manage to snag a snap of the 18-year-old on October 30,
00:35though, as he strolled around the university grounds.
00:38For whatever reason, it took over a month for the photo to surface online on December 5.
00:43Once again, Barron's height is impossible to ignore.
00:46He seems to be a good foot taller than everyone else in the picture as he walks carrying his
00:51backpack, making it really tough for him to go incognito in the most populated city in the U.S.
00:57That said, Barron seems to be doing everything he can to keep a low profile.
01:01TMZ reports that he has secret service agents around him at all times,
01:06and one of his classmates told the outlet,
01:08"...he hardly exists."
01:10Barron seems to prefer socializing online rather than in Washington Square Park.
01:15Fellow students describe Barron as chill and say he asks people he meets for their Discord usernames.
01:21He reportedly loves video games, with the FIFA soccer game series being a favorite.
01:26Given his propensity for asking for Discord handles,
01:29it seems he prefers to socialize via online chats rather than having to
01:33drag secret service agents to rager campus parties.
01:36When he is out and about, given his towering height,
01:39one might assume Barron sometimes gets mistaken for a player on the NYU basketball team,
01:44though, according to Donald, his only son with Melania Trump
01:47prefers the sport he also plays in video game form.
01:51They said, you're gonna be a basketball player. I said, well, I like soccer, Dad, actually. I said,
01:56at your height, I like basketball better."
01:58It's almost certainly getting harder for Barron to be mistaken for anyone, though,
02:02because his profile is rising and fast. Though he wasn't as public of a face of
02:06his dad's 2024 presidential campaign as some of his other family members,
02:11he reportedly had a hands-on role as his dad's podcast advisor,
02:15helping set up high-profile interviews with Aiden Ross, Theo Vaughn, The Flagrant Podcast, and others.
