Barron’s choice of college was a hot topic throughout the year, with the former president vaguely teasing to theNew York Postin August that his youngest son had decided to attend a “good” school in New York.

In September, Donald, 78, confirmed Barron’s college choice toDaily Mailand said his youngest son was “accepted to a lot of colleges.”

Melania, 54, opened up toFox Newsthat same monthabout her only child going to college. “I could not say I’m an empty nester. I don’t feel that way,” the former first lady told reporter Ainsley Earhardt.

She said she raised Barron as his “own person” and “gave him his own yes and no’s” growing up.

“It was his decision to come here that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home, and I respect that,” Melania continued.

The convention occurred in July in Milwaukee, and Barron’s absence made him the only of Trump’s five children not in attendance at the event. However, shortly before the RNC, Barronmade his first appearance at a campaign rallyin support of his father.

Last week, Melania toldFox & Friendsthat her son was crucial in securingDonald’s presidential election victory, according toThe New York Times.

During the interview, she said “he was very vocal” behind the scenes of the campaign and “knew exactly who his father needs to contact and to talk to.”
