00:00Barron Trump, you know, is a freshman at New York University, and we wanted to find out
00:05what is it like to be the son of a president-elect on campus in New York, and the kind of, how
00:14do you fit in?
00:15Can you fit in?
00:16You've got these secret service agents following you around, Charles, you're six foot nine
00:20inches tall.
00:21Yeah.
00:22But we also found out that he's basically trying to keep as low a profile as possible
00:26while he's on campus.
00:27He is not the guy who's out speaking to a lot of people, he's not very social.
00:32Right.
00:33I think we said in our post, like playing hacky sack in the quad, that's not him hanging
00:37out on campus.
00:38Not him.
00:39Sits in the back of class.
00:40We've actually spoken to students who go to school with Barron, who are in classes with
00:43him in the business school there at NYU, and they've described him as very quiet, he sits
00:48in the back of the class, he's obviously got secret service with him at all times.
00:52But what we've learned about Barron is that he loves video games, he's a guy that likes
00:56to sit behind the computer, he's been overheard asking other students there on campus for
01:02their Discord chat login, I guess it's basically a chat platform where you play video games
01:08with people and you chat about what you're playing.
01:11So he keeps a low profile.
01:12The other thing we've learned is he's not really on campus, like a lot of students are
01:16on campus five days a week, they're in class, he is not there every day of the week.
01:20You have to assume that when he's not on campus, he's probably hanging out at Trump Tower,
01:25which is their main residence there in New York City.
01:28So he kind of comes and goes pretty quietly from campus.
01:30I guess he's not living in a dorm room.
01:33That would be, one, just security-wise.
01:36The whole thing seems like a security nightmare to me, Charles, I mean, being in the heart
01:39of Manhattan, obviously, where he is, I thought he might go to some school in-
01:43Little more-
01:44Yeah.
01:45Out of-
01:46Right.
01:47Not in one of the biggest, not in the biggest city in this country.
01:49Yeah, but you want to go where you want to go.
01:51And so he's settling into life there.
01:54By the way, we also found out from those students the game that he apparently likes
01:58the most.
01:59Yeah, it's-
02:00FIFA.
02:01Oh, soccer.
02:02Yeah.
02:03That's a big sports fan.
02:04Hi, my name is Ariel.
02:05I'm from Miami, and I think it's great.
02:06Barron Trump is keeping a low profile and playing video games while on campus.
02:10And for his age and the spotlight he has in the public, I feel like it's very difficult
02:14for him to have a normal life.
02:15And playing video games is an escape for him to get out of the pressures he faces and the
02:19camera constantly on him.
02:21And for me, it's great to see him enjoying his life and focusing on video games rather
02:25than any drama or having to deal with the public and everything against him.
02:30And I'm glad he's in good spirits and has a good sense of normalcy now.
02:32Yeah, that he does.
02:33It'll also be interesting to see once his father's back in the White House if that changes
02:37anything for him on campus.
