The president of New York University’s College Republicans, Kaya Walker, has been forced to resign after stirring controversy with her remarks about Barron Trump, as reported by The New York Post.
The fallout began when Walker referred to the former president’s youngest son as “an oddity on campus” in an interview with Vanity Fair. Her words ignited swift backlash, leading to her resignation and an open invitation for Barron to join the organization.

Dennis Quaid’s #1 Warning for Americans
Walker’s comment—“He goes to class, he goes home”—was enough to draw condemnation from College Republicans of America (CRA) leadership.
CRA President Will Donahue quickly distanced the organization from her words, calling them “inappropriate” and out of step with the group’s principles.
He then went a step further by extending a personal invitation to Barron Trump, stating that he “represents the future of the conservative movement” and that CRA would be “honored” to have him as a member.
Donahue also praised Barron for his resilience and composure, stating:
“Strong leadership is built on resilience, courage, and the humility to rise above petty hostility—qualities that Barron has already demonstrated.”
The response from the younger Trump remains unclear, as he has not publicly addressed the invitation.
NYU’s College Republicans have been making headlines beyond just this controversy. The CRA broke a century-long precedent by endorsing former President Donald Trump before the GOP primary, reaffirming its commitment to the Trump legacy.
“Our support for President Trump is, and has been, a pillar of our organization.”
Barron Trump’s presence at NYU’s Stern School of Business has certainly been noticed. Since enrolling this past fall, the 18-year-old has sparked interest across campus, particularly in Washington Square Park, where students have noted his quiet presence.
However, despite his last name, some insist he’s managed to blend in. “He’s really popular with the ladies,” a source previously told People in December. “He’s tall and handsome. A lot of people seem to think he’s pretty attractive—yes, even liberal people like him.”
While Walker’s forced resignation may serve as a warning for others looking to take shots at the Trump family, the broader takeaway is clear: Barron Trump isn’t just another college student.
His presence alone is enough to send both supporters and detractors into a frenzy. Whether he joins CRA or not, his name will continue to make waves at NYU and beyond.
