Former President Donald J. Trump has faced multiple accusations of fraud in regard to his finances over the years. Recently, those accusations came to a head when Attorney General Letitia James of New York filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump, his business, and three of his children — Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka — for overvaluing his assets by billions of dollars to lenders and insurers. The New York Times quoted James' suit, which called the inflated numbers "staggering" and claimed that it affected "most if not all of the real estate holdings in any given year."
Once news broke of the lawsuit, it didn't take long for a Facebook post to go up, claiming that the fraudulent finances had impacted the education of Trump's youngest son, Barron. According to the post, as cited by Politifact, Barron had been "kicked out" of school for unpaid fees. Due to the speculation surrounding Trump's finances, many were prone to believe the rumor, but the claims were false.
Following the 2020 election and the Trump family's move from Washington D.C. to Florida, Barron Trump did change schools. He now attends Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, for which the tuition and fees are $35,000. Presumably, those fees have been paid — the school's Director of Advancement Scott Siegfried told Politifact, "We are pleased to state that Barron Trump continues to attend Oxbridge Academy and is a member of the class of 2024."
