Fake Out: Barron Trump NOT Going to Cornell, Arrives at New York University with Bodyguards

Share

Barron Trump is not at Cornell after all!

The NY Post caught him arriving at NYU today with his Secret Service protection.

All the Cornell speculation was planted, it seems, to distract the press from Barron’s real destination.

Will he live in a dorm? Or Trump Tower? And how much of a disruption will he cause downtown?

Back in the 1980s, Ron Reagan Jr lived on my block near NYU. The Secret Service took up loads of parking spaces and made their presence known. It was a relief when he finally moved out.

Barron does not look happy in the pictures in the Post. He rarely if ever smiles and no one’s heard his voice. But someone’s going to hear it now. This should be interesting.
