Last September, a source revealed that Barron shut down an entire floor of Trump Tower. While the setting appeared flashy, insiders stated that the decision was driven purely by security concerns.

The New York Post previously reported that he has been living at the White House while attending classes at New York University's Washington, DC campus, which began its academic term on September 2.

The campus offers programs in fields including politics, public policy, economics, journalism, and history.

Outside the courtroom, sources say Barron has been focused on keeping a low profile.

According to people close to the family, he has been working to ditch his Slovenian accent in order to sound more like his American peers and has reportedly been taking elocution lessons to boost his confidence when speaking.

"Barron is very focused on how he presents himself now," a source told celebrity journalist Rob Shuter's #Shuterscoop. "He's thoughtful, deliberate, and wants to be confident when he speaks, but he does it quietly, without drawing attention."
