On campus, nobody really knows what’s up with that guy, other than that he’s not like any of the other students. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” says Kaya Walker, the president of the NYU Republicans. “He goes to class, he goes home.”

That seems like a pretty kind assessment for what must be a super weird experience for everyone else on campus. A constant Secret Service presence seems like it must disrupt the other students’ lives, as well as the professors at the school. In fact, Walker quoted one of her own professors as saying “he doesn’t really belong here.”

    I might be projecting here, but sounds to me like he just wants to be left alone. Like, no matter where he stands politically, being the son of the president alone (let alone this one) must be pretty difficult for an adolescent.

    I say let's leave him be and not judge him based on his family. If he if he joins the others, that's different. But don't treat him as an extension of his father, no matter how much of a dipshit that father may be.

    I believe he tweeted something about the government stealing your money. He's taken his stand.

    Yeah I agree. Even if he disagrees with his father, he can't say it. The magats would be all over him.

    I actually kind of feel bad for him, too. He's in a difficult situation no matter what he thinks.
