When your dad is President of the United States, even a simple date night comes with a heavy security detail. That’s what played out recently for Barron Trump, who reportedly turned an entire floor of Trump Tower into his own private bubble for an evening out.
According to Page Six, Donald Trump’s youngest son hosted a crush at the family’s Manhattan skyscraper. But insiders told the outlet it wasn’t about showing off the tower. It was about safety. Shutting down a full floor wasn’t indulgence — it was protocol.
“The date night was actually a fortress-level operation,” Page Six wrote. “An entire floor of the tower was shut down so Barron could woo in peace, proving romance is a little different when the Secret Service is your wingman.”
This is not the first time Barron has had to adapt his social life around security. Earlier this year, friends told Page Six that he avoids giving out his phone number at school, worried it would leak. Instead, he keeps in touch through Xbox chat and Discord. “If people got his number, they’d share it,” one friend explained. “The phone would never stop, and he’d have to change it nonstop. It’d just be a merry-go-round.”
Barron, who turned 19 in March, has been drawing attention beyond his security bubble too. In March, he was photographed arriving at Trump Tower with Melania Trump, sporting a Rolex said to be worth nearly $50,000. And just weeks ago, Forbes pegged his net worth at around $150 million, citing investments in cryptocurrency.
Though he’s often spotted in New York, Barron is currently based in Washington, D.C., where he started classes last month at New York University’s Washington campus. The programme offers courses in politics, history, economics, journalism, and public policy.
Students on NYU’s Greenwich Village campus last year said Barron stood out. “He’s tall and awkward, but he was the guy. He had a lot of girls running after him,” one student told Page Six. Another described him to People: “He’s a ladies’ man for sure — tall, handsome, and really popular with the girls. A lot of people think he’s attractive.”
Born in 2006, Barron is Donald and Melania Trump’s only child together. Trump often praises him as “a great kid, tall, handsome, a great student who likes politics.”
