Amid one massive battle between President Donald Trump and a challenging leftwing institution, First Lady Melania Trump has forcefully shut down baseless rumors about her family.
The fake narrative circulating in liberal circles claimed President Trump’s actions against Harvard stemmed from the elitist university rejecting Barron’s application.
The first lady’s spokesperson, Nicholas Clemens, issued a clear statement debunking the false claims being spread by anti-Trump critics.
“Barron did not apply to Harvard, and any assertion that he, or that anyone on his behalf, applied is completely false,” Clemens confirmed, putting to rest the baseless speculation designed to undermine the Trump family.
Barron is currently attending New York University’s Stern School of Business, where he is expected to graduate in 2028.
“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,” First Lady Melania noted about her son’s unique college experience.
She also acknowledged the challenges Barron faces as a member of the high-profile Trump family.
While leftist social media users pushed conspiracy theories about Harvard rejection, the Trump family has consistently focused on Barron’s actual educational path without engaging with these fabricated controversies.
Liberal social media users like Doug Wahl pushed the unfounded claim that “Barron was rejected by Harvard. Malia got in! MAGA hates that! It makes their racist blood boil!”
The manufactured controversy emerged as President Trump took firm action against Harvard over serious concerns about national security and the institution’s handling of foreign students.
The president has demanded transparency regarding the university’s foreign student enrollment.
He has particularly questioned how many “radicalized lunatics” might be using Harvard’s resources while posing potential threats to American security.
“We are still waiting for the Foreign Student Lists from Harvard so that we can determine, after a ridiculous expenditure of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, how many radicalized lunatics, troublemakers all, should not be let back into our Country,” the president stated.
The Trump administration has taken decisive action against Harvard’s lack of cooperation.
This includes freezing $2.65 billion in federal grants and working to revoke the university’s certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
These measures come after Harvard was accused of creating an unsafe campus environment and promoting pro-Hamas sympathies following the October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel.
President Trump has described Harvard as “very antisemitic” and suggested reallocating its federal funding to more practical education options like trade schools.
While a liberal judge temporarily blocked the administration’s efforts by granting Harvard a restraining order, President Trump has expressed confidence that the government will ultimately prevail.
Meanwhile, Harvard’s lawyers continue to resist government oversight, claiming “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”
