Donald Trump's youngest son Barron Trump now has a revamped security after the second assassination attempt on his father. The 18-year-old has been attending New York University's Stern School of Business since early September. New photos on Barron in his college taken on Monday revealed that the Trump scion was being escorted by plain-clothed Secret Service agents but their ballistic plates and bulky backpacks can't be missed.
The bulletproof vest under the polo shirt of a security agent was prominent, the Sun reported.
On Monday, Barron was seen wearing a white long-sleeved polo shirt, navy pants and blue and white striped Adidas sneakers. The Sun report said the ramped-up security measures came after the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump on September 15 when Ryan Wesley Routh, the accused, pointed a gun at Trump from outside the wall of the golf club in Florida. Trump was unhurt as Secret Service agent spotted the gun first and fired at him and later arrested him.
The increased security did not perturb Barron as he was seen in his usual element. amid the much hullabaloo around him at the campus. Other students are missing no opportunity to take his photo and those content are viral on various social media platforms. Reports said students are approaching Barron Trump with selfie requests that Barron has to turn down owing to security reasons.
Barron's classmates said he has blended well in the campus and does not have any air about him. "Obviously he's very known. Not even just from his status. Also just physically, you can tell [who he is] he's clearly really tall," freshman Aaruush told DailyMail. "He doesn't like to use that privilege and use that, I guess, prestige to influence other people," he said. "You know he's he's trying to be as normal as possible."
Many students who do not attend the same class as Barron but have seen him are unaware that there are Secret Service agents with him.
In the classroom, Barron is quiet and mostly keeps to himself in the student lounge in between two-day-a-week lectures for his business course, a report said.
