When asked if Barron was going to attend NYU, Trump smiled and again reiterated that he would not share which school his son selected until the announcement was live.

Barron Trump, 18, graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May.
Former first lady Melania Trump told Fox News Digital during an exclusive interview in April that nothing makes her prouder than the relationship she has built with Barron. He is the only child the former president and Melania share together.

Trump's foreshadowing of Barron's choice comes just days after his eldest granddaughter, Kai, announced her commitment to play golf at the University of Miami.
Kai, the daughter of Don Jr. and Vanessa, thanked her grandfather for helping her through her young golf career.

"Grandpa, you are such an inspiration and I love you," Kai said. "The media makes my grandpa seem like a different person. But I know him for who he is. He's very caring and loving. He truly wants the best for this country. And he will fight every single day to make America great again. Thank you very much."
