being forced to resign from the role over comments made about Barron Trump.
NYU’s Stern School of Business became the college of choice for the president’s youngest son last year – the institution is regarded as one of the top business schools in America.
Aside from the fact that he is trailed by Secret Service agents wherever he goes and isn’t likely to have a usual college experience in any way, shape or form, not much is known about Barron’s life on campus, nor how he’s settled in after beginning the next chapter of his life.
Which is probably why fellow Stern student Kaya Walker garnered so much attention after an interview with Vanity Fair where she described him in terms that have been interpreted by many as unflattering.
Kaya had been the president of NYU College Republicans, but had no choice but to step down after the comments she made about Donald and Melania Trump’s son.
She told Vanity Fair of Barron Trump: “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus.”
Kaya added: “He goes to class, he goes home.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly she found herself heavily criticized online, with the College Republicans of America (CRA) labeling her comments ‘inappropriate’ and in conflict with its ‘values and principles’.
As the story picked up more and more traction, Kaya ultimately resigned from her presidential role on Sunday night (February 16).
Now, days later, she has broken her silence to address the controversy in an interview with the New York Post.
‘”I’ve been killing myself trying to support the conservative movement,” she said. “Everybody knows that it’s an uphill battle being a Republican at NYU.”
She went on: “I’ve put my everything into building up my chapter. I built [attendance] up exponentially.
“It’s been insane, especially this past year, we’ve seen such a rise in membership and had such a great time.”
Barron Trump had been kept outside the spotlight for years before appearing alongside his father, Donald Trump, to celebrate the presidential election victory this past November. The 18-year-old son of Donald and Melania Trump has always been an object of interest for people worldwide due to his height, and his star-status has only grown as he’s entered adulthood.
According to a People Magazine source, the 18-year-old has been “popular with the ladies” since starting classes at NYU’s Stern School of Business in September.
“He’s at Stern so he’s studying business in some way. He’s a ladies man for sure. He’s really popular with the ladies,” the source said. “He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive — yes, even liberal people like him.”
