Melania Trump Denies Barron Harvard Rejection

First Lady Melania Trump publicly denied a viral rumor that her son, Barron Trump, applied to and was rejected by Harvard University. The rumor gained traction amidst ongoing tensions between the Donald Trump administration and Ivy League schools, including Harvard University and Columbia University. The administration has accused these universities of not adequately addressing antisemitism on campus and has taken actions such as freezing funding, revoking the ability to enroll international students, and cancelling grants to Harvard University. Some speculate that Donald Trump's aggressive stance might be motivated by a personal vendetta related to Barron Trump's alleged rejection. Barron Trump, 19, recently completed his freshman year at New York University's Stern School of Business.
