Despite his best efforts to mind his business, Barron Trump is at the center of a political controversy sweeping his liberal college campus. 

The president of New York University's College Republicans has resigned after she gave an unauthorized interview to local leftist rag Vanity Fair in which she called Barron an "oddity."

Barron Trump interview

Barron is commuting to class from his father's New York penthouse, with Secret Service guarding him constantly. Given his high public profile, it's not possible for Barron to have a normal college experience.

Kaya Walker, the former president of the school's College Republicans, described Barron's transient presence as odd.

"He's sort of like an oddity on campus. He goes to class, he goes home," Walker told Vanity Fair. 

The comments caused an uproar, eventually leading to Walker's resignation.

The president of College Republicans for America criticized Walker for playing into a prepared narrative painting Barron in a negative light.

"During the conversation, she was presented with a narrative about Barron Trump that was clearly framed in a partisan manner,” the statement said. “Rather than redirecting the inquiry to our communications team or refuting the premise, she used language that did not align with C.R.A.’s standards of professionalism and responsibility, inadvertently contributing to a misleading and negative portrayal.”

Miscommunication?

Meanwhile, Walker is speaking out on the uproar over her comments, calling them misunderstood.

The undergraduate said it was never her intention to disparage the president's son, and she regrets stepping aside from her role.

"'They took it to say that I was saying that Barron was strange for being a commuter — which I thought was crazy because I'm a commuter," she told the New York Post.

"They [made it] look like I was calling the president's son weird, but I feel like anybody who can read would know that's not what I was doing."

For months, 18-year-old Barron has quietly commuted back and forth to class, while sources have dished on his social habits and personal preferences.

The president's only child with his wife Melania, Barron maintains a low profile, fueling intense public interest in his activities and future plans.

“While we have not yet had direct communication with him, we would be honored to provide him with a platform to begin his political career should he choose to do so,” Donahue said. “However, we fully respect Barron’s privacy and personal decisions regarding his future involvement in politics.”
