Ahead of Barron Trump’s graduation from Oxbridge Academy, there’s been renewed interest in what he did during his four years at the private school in Palm Beach, Florida. He’s managed to fly under the radar as his dad dominates the headlines daily, which is why it’s unclear whether he’s completely dropped soccer. On the rare occasions when Donald Trump has spoken about his son’s high school experience, he hasn’t mentioned Barron being on Oxbridge’s soccer team. He did, however, praise his son’s athleticism in a 2023 appearance on “The Megyn Kelly Show.” Donald added, “He’s a good student, great student actually.”
In a May 2024 interview with 1210 WPHT, Donald revealed that Barron has taken an interest in politics. “He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,'” Donald said. In her book “Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections,” author Mollie Hemingway shared a conversation she had with Donald about his first presidential debate with Joe Biden. “Barron said, ‘Dad, you were too tough. You didn’t have to keep interrupting him,'” Hemingway wrote.
While Barron might be a budding presidential advisor for a potential second Trump term, he turned down an offer to be a Florida delegate at the GOP national convention. The office of his mother Melania Trump issued a statement to People that read in part, “He regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments.”
