Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly imposed budget cuts and limited tax exemptions for Harvard University in recent years. Shortly after these moves, the Trump administration announced restrictions on foreign students’ eligibility to study at the university — a decision that sparked widespread backlash. Despite the criticism, Trump defended the policy and even requested a list of foreign students enrolled at Harvard.
Following these developments, social media has been abuzz with speculation. One prominent theory claims that Trump’s actions are motivated by personal resentment — specifically, that Harvard rejected his youngest son, Barron Trump, leading to what many describe as a “revenge move.”
Online users allege that Harvard, Columbia, and Stanford all denied admission to Barron, forcing him to enroll in New York University’s Stern School of Business to pursue a degree in Finance. They further contrast this with Harvard admitting Malia Obama, daughter of former President Barack Obama, claiming political bias.
As the rumors gained traction, Harvard University officially denied the claims circulating online. Moreover, the office of Melania Trump, former First Lady, released a statement clarifying that Barron Trump never even applied to Harvard University, thereby dismissing the entire narrative as baseless.
