Donald Trump has hinted at what his youngest son Barron will do after he graduates high school.
Barron, 18, will graduate from Oxbridge Academy on Friday and there has been much speculation about what he will do next.
The former president has suggested in the past that he was considering attending the University of Pennsylvania, and there were also rumors that he was considering New York University.
But during a speech at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump revealed that Barron was now “looking at some colleges that are different than they were two months ago.”
There has been a lot of talk about a possible political career for Barron after he was chosen as delegate at large to help out formally nominate his father Donald Trump as the Republican presidential candidate.

The family has largely kept quiet about Barron’s future plans, with only vague word on what he might do next.
But during his speech at Mar-A-Lago last week, Trump provided a rare update. Newsweek reported that he said: ‘He’s doing great at the moment. He has great grades.
‘He’s going to university soon. And we’re looking at some colleges that are different than they were two months ago.”
Little is known about Barron’s time at the school, but there was a rare sighting of him on the school’s Instagram page on April 12, when he was spotted in the back of a photo taken at a prom with Monte Carlo- theme for his fellow class of 24 students. .
Unlike his half-siblings, Barron was rarely seen during his father’s years in the White House, mainly at the request of his mother Melania, who is known to protect her son.
She rarely allowed Barron to attend official events at the White House when she was first lady. Additionally, she would have Barron travel in a separate car – instead of the Beast – when he rode in the presidential motorcade.
She also had Barron board Air Force One on the rear steps of the plane so that there would be no photos of him climbing the front steps with his parents.
‘He likes politics. It’s kind of funny,” Trump told “Kayal and Company” on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia about his son Barron
The former first lady has used her own presence to express her support or displeasure with her husband.
She was present at his announcement at Mar-a-Lago that he would make another presidential bid, but she was not there on the night of Super Tuesday, when Trump effectively secured the Republican presidential nomination.
Barron was not present at any of these political events.
Previously, Barron was the target of trolls on social media.
Former NBC News executive Mike Sington said Barron was “fair game” when he turned 18, the birthday that marks adulthood. He later deleted the tweet after facing harsh backlash and criticism online.
The youngest Trump was defended by many of his former first children, including Chelsea Clinton.
“I think he’s a private individual,” she told ABC’s The View. “I believe so strongly that if you are a private citizen, you have an inviolable right to privacy, and I think the media should leave him alone.”
And last year, a Chicago woman was arrested for making death threats against Barron.
Trump revealed that Barron enjoys politics and gives his father advice.
“He really has been a great student. And he likes politics. It’s kind of funny,” the former president told “Kayal and Company” on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia.
“He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Daddy, this is what you have to do,’” he added.
Trump has said in the past that the 18-year-old, who graduates from high school this week, is considering which college he might attend. But, he noted, protests on campus played a role in that decision.
“He’s in high school now and going to college. And you know, a lot of these college choices are changing because you see what’s been going on over the last month,” Trump said.
Trump has been critical of the pro-Palestinian protests that have sprung up on college campuses across the country. He told Time magazine that he would call in the National Guard.
Barron is considering NYU, the Daily Beast reported, but the school has seen its fair share of protesters and arrests by the NYPD. The Trump family has made no announcement about where Barron will go.
The former president also complimented his 6-foot-2 son’s appearance.
‘He’s a bit on the tall side. I’ll tell you, he’s tall, but he looks good,” Trump said.
The former president spent Friday in a Manhattan courtroom as New York continues to prosecute him over a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Daniels testified in court this week about her sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. She claimed that Trump told her at the time that he and Melania had separate bedrooms.
Trump has denied the affair.

Barron has never been in public life, his half-siblings – above Don Jr., Melania, Donald, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany Trump
Reports of Barron’s interest in politics appeared confirmed Wednesday when the Republican Party of Florida selected him to join his older siblings as the state’s delegate-at-large.
The only requirement to be a delegate is that you must live and vote in the state. Barron, who turned 18 in March, is eligible to cast his first vote in the August primary and November elections.
Barron will graduate next week from Oxbridge Academy in the suburb of West Palm Beach.
That day – May 17 – will be a busy day for Donald Trump.
He will also be the keynote speaker at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Minnesota.
Barron’s graduation ceremony is in the morning, so it’s possible Trump could attend both events.
Sources told DailyMail.com that the 6-foot-2 teenager, who has never spoken a word in public, is a steadfast supporter of the Trump 2024 campaign behind the scenes.
Barron attended his father’s presidential announcement in 2016 and attended the Republican National Conventions in both 2016 and 2020.
He was not at his father’s 2024 announcement at Mar-a-Lago.

Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka were heavily involved in Trump’s last two White House campaigns, speaking at their father’s rallies and campaigning for him. Tiffany joined her siblings in the 2020 campaign, but Barron remained out of sight.
He was only ten when his father became president.
Barron, who turned 18 last month, returned to the spotlight with Donald Trump’s hush money lawsuit, as the former president argued he should get a break from the trial to attend Barron Trump’s May 17 high school graduation to live.
Judge Juan Merchan agreed to grant the pause in the trial.
