Melania Trump shuts down Barron Trump conspiracy
Melania Trump has denied rumors that her son, Barron, was rejected by Harvard University, calling the claims “completely false.” The speculation arose after reports that former President Donald Trump’s administration cut federal contracts with Harvard, allegedly worth millions, over accusations of antisemitism and ties to China. A spokesperson for Melania clarified that Barron never applied to Harvard and is currently enrolled at NYU’s Stern School of Business.
The controversy stems from the Department of Homeland Security revoking Harvard’s certification for international student programs, citing concerns over campus protests and foreign influence. Harvard called the move “unlawful” and vowed to fight it. Meanwhile, Melania emphasized that Barron’s college experience is unique due to his family’s high profile, praising his resilience. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and elite academic institutions.
