Although Barron makes an effort to blend in and stay under the radar while on campus, it’s no easy task. The group of bodyguards — dressed down in casual, student-like outfits — trail him throughout the day. Their presence doesn’t go unnoticed; it often turns heads and draws curious classmates’ attention.
Yet Barron may have developed a clever trick to at least appear approachable. He is said to carry a black backpack to school, and although it’s necessary for keeping pens, notebooks, and computers safe, there could also be a hidden reason behind it.
On TikTok, one user has previously claimed that there is a specific reason Barron carries the $88 backpack wherever he goes.
“As Trump’s son, and the future heir, Barron is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but he always carries an inexpensive black school bag. Barron lived a life of luxury from childhood. He was raised by Melania, and had a life of ease and plenty since he was a child;” the user wrote, per Express.
Barron Trump “hardly exists” on campus
“However, no one would believe that under Trump’s guidance, Barron is very thrifty in private. Since he entered college, he has been carrying an $88 black school bag, which makes Barron look more like an ordinary student.
“It enables him to keep a low profile, and be more approachable in public, and allows him to participate in various activities more comfortably. In addition, since Trump became President, he has been opposed to extravagance and waste and has even donated his own money to charity at times.”
The user on TikTok concluded: “In order to follow in Trump’s footsteps, Barron has always kept a low profile. Even at the age of 18, he has never bought luxury goods. To some extent, this can also better shape Barron’s positive image, prepare him for being the heir in the future and play a positive role in the overall image of the Trump family.”
