Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump is living at home while he attends New York University. (Watch the video below.)
“I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told Fox & Friends’ Ainsley Earhardt in an interview that aired Thursday. “It was his decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that.”
That would presumably mean that the new college man is living at the family’s longtime Trump Tower residence on Fifth Avenue and commuting a few miles south to the Greenwich Village campus.
Barron Trump is former President Donald Trump’s youngest son and his only child with Melania Trump.
He graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May and began classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in early September.
“He’s enjoying his college days,” Melania Trump said. “I hope he will have a great experience because his life is very different than any other 18, 19-year-old child.”
She praised her son’s “strength, his intelligence, his knowledge, his kindness.”
Republican nominee Trump, who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania as did three of his four other kids, confirmed this month that his son chose NYU.
“He’s a very smart guy, and he’ll be going to Stern Business School, which is a great school at NYU,” Trump told the Daily Mail. “He’s a very high-aptitude child, but he’s no longer a child. He’s just passed into something beyond child-dom.”
Melania Trump also raised eyebrows in her “Fox & Friends” interview by remarking that her husband is a “family man.”
Fast-forward to 10:40 to watch the former first lady talk about her son:
