NYU College Republicans President Resigns After ‘Inappropriate’ Remarks About Barron Trump
Kaya, on the other hand, was somewhat bothered by the attention surrounding him. She believed he deserved a more typical college experience. The student even recalled one of her professors joking about Barron, saying, “He doesn’t really belong here.”
In a February 17 announcement regarding Kaya’s resignation, the College Republicans of America said their former president’s statement “does not align with the values and principles upheld by our organization.”

Their statement continued, “Though Vanity Fair and The Independent unfairly framed what was said, upon review, we still found it to be inappropriate.” Kaya submitted her resignation on February 16 with the organization formally inviting the 6’7″ famous freshman to join them in “reshaping the Republican Party.”
According to the New York Post, Kaya was “forced to resign” for her comments. Social media users were divided on the issue, with one person writing, “She shouldn’t have been forced to resign. I bet he is an oddity indeed.”
Another user, reacting to the news, said, “They forced her to resign? I knew something was about to happen.” Someone else asked, “Would you trust people like this? She immediately ran to the press.”
