The 19-year-old college freshman and Melania, 54, were photographed entering the 58-story skyscraper — developed by the Trump — on Sunday, Page Six reported.

The outing marked their first public appearance in nearly a month.

Barron wore a black shirt under a dark blue bomber jacket with black jeans, while Melania draped a gray trench coat over her shoulders and wore sunglasses. On his left wrist was the Rolex model, which retails for US$48,700.

Their visit came just before the end of spring break and the resumption of classes at New York University’s Stern School of Business, where Barron is currently enrolled.

When he began attending NYU last fall, he was seen walking through campus accompanied by security. In a December 2024 interview with Fox & Friends, Melania said, “I don’t think it’s possible for him to be a normal student. His experience at college — it’s very different than any other kid.”

“I’m very proud [of] how he’s handling [it]. He’s very strong and he knows that he’s in a different position than other children.”

Although his experience at NYU is unlike that of most students, Barron, who turned 19 on March 20, is reportedly popular among female classmates, according to a source cited by People in December.

He is reported to informally advise his father on politics and policy, according to the New York Post. Trump credited him with helping choose podcast appearances during the 2024 presidential campaign.

“He’s got an unbelievable aptitude in technology. Barron is a very smart guy,” Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham ahead of his birthday.

Barron is said to be interested in following his father into real estate and has shown enthusiasm for cryptocurrency.

Having lived in the White House from 2017 to 2021, Barron has gradually received more public attention since reaching adulthood, though he has yet to assume a public-speaking role like his older siblings.
