Barron Trump Is a Gamer Not a Player at NYU

Barron Trump has a safe way of meeting new friends in college—he plays video games with them from the comfort of his home.

The president-elect’s youngest child is a freshman at New York University, but he hasn’t been able to interact normally with his fellow students because his Secret Service protectors are always trailing him.

At 6ft 9ins tall, it’s hard for him to hide in a crowd and hang out.

So the keen gamer has reached out to his new classmates to play with them online.

According to TMZ, Barron, 18, has asked other students for their Discord usernames and gamertags. Discord is an app for gamers where players can build their own profiles and chat and play with other members.

A keen soccer player, Barron’s favorite game is said to be FC25, formerly known as FIFA.

During the election campaign, Donald Trump said Barron persuaded him to do an interview with high-profile streamer Adin Ross.

Trump told Ross, who rose to fame streaming himself playing games like NBA 2K20 and Grand Theft Auto 5, that his son was a big fan.

TMZ quoted NYU students as saying that Barron is transported to and from class in an SUV and doesn’t spend much time on campus, hanging at the back of his economics lectures with his Secret Service detail.

But the teenager is described as being friendly and “chill” by his classmates.
