NYU College Republicans President Resigns After ‘Inappropriate’ Remarks About Barron Trump

Defending the president’s son, an X user stated, “He’s has [sic] a big target on his back. If other students can’t see the risk taken for him to have normalcy by going to college they aren’t paying attention. Look at the volatility on college campuses these days, trust no one.”

Upset by Kaya’s remarks, one person said, “She should mind her own business.” Another questioned, “Well she joked that professors say he doesn’t belong there. Why would she target him or speak to the press about him?” Believing Kaya’s intent was opportunistic, another user wrote, “Not the way to get your name in the paper.”

Since the announcement of her departure, Kaya has spoken to another publication. Speaking to the New York Post, she admitted, “I’ve been killing myself trying to support the conservative movement.”

The college senior continued, “I’ve put my everything into building up my chapter,” and added, “I built [attendance] up exponentially. It’s been insane, especially this past year. We’ve seen such a rise in membership and had such a great time.”

The president’s youngest child was first seen on campus on February 4—his first public appearance since his father’s inauguration. During his New York outing, Barron wore a cream-colored sweater over a white polo shirt.
