Barron Trump is ready to party.
The youngest son of President Trump celebrated his 19th birthday Thursday, just four days before his college, New York University, goes on spring break.
Barron, who began his freshman year at the Stern School of Business last September, will have all of next week off before classes resume on March 31, according to the university’s academic calendar.
A source in the Trump family’s orbit described the teenager as “an old soul who is smart, well-spoken and well-read.”
“He has lived through experiences others his age haven’t,” the insider told People on Thursday. “He is well-grounded, he has seen a lot and he knows who he is.”
When Barron was born in 2006, his father was in the midst of pivoting from being a real estate mogul to hosting “The Apprentice.”
Barron was only 10 when his dad was elected president for the first time in 2016, but by the 2024 cycle, the 6-foot-7 student was ready to begin following in the 78-year-old’s footsteps.
“Barron is anxious to form his own companies and make money,” a political source told the magazine. “He shares that enthusiasm with his father, which comes as no surprise. Barron, in my opinion, knows what he wants.”
Another insider shared that the teen, whose mother, first lady Melania Trump, is Slovenian, “has more characteristics of a European than an American,” noting that he “listens before talking and is super polite.”
That said, Barron has plenty of Trump in his blood, with the first source saying he has picked up his father’s penchant for “schmoozing” and “small talk.”
While attending NYU, Barron primarily lives in New York City, where he was raised, but he occasionally visits the POTUS at the White House in Washington, DC, and Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla.
“Once he goes out in the world and makes his own mark, people will have a better idea of who he really is,” a Miami political insider said. “Now his parents have a big influence on him.”
