The Trump-quatch! Giddy NYU students are sharing blurry videos of Barron sightings on social media

Barron Trump, youngest son of the former president, started his freshman year at New York University earlier this month — sparking a flurry of TikTok videos of the 18-year-old making his way around campus, trailed by Secret Service agents.

Fellow NYU students have been taking and sharing videos of Barron, aptly described by WIRED as “Sasquatch-esque”: short, frantic, blurry clips of the elusive 6’9” freshman making his way to class. Many of these videos are posted then reposted, with users making their own edits and setting them to background music.

One video, from September 10 with 12,000 likes, features a fuzzy three-second clip of Barron in all-black walking through what appears to be the halls of NYU as a re-mix of Charlie Puth’s hit “We Don’t Talk Anymore” plays in the background.

A second user posted the same clip accompanied by Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer.” It got 21,000 views and more than 500 likes.

Another short, blurry video, posted on September 5 with more than 41,000 likes, shows Barron in a white polo shirt wearing a black backpack on a Manhattan street as he attends his first day of class.

In each clip, a handful of older men appear to be close behind freshman, possibly members ofhis Secret Service detail.

Paul Eckloff, a former Secret Service agent who protected George W Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump along with their families, previously told The Independent that the Secret Service has to closely monitor videos like these to protect presidential kids.

“The Secret Service has to monitor [social media],” Eckloff said last month. “Let’s say that a president’s child is at a party and someone tweets out their picture. Now, their location is broadcast on social media, and they could become a target.
