Conspiracy theorists have speculated that Trump is attacking the prestigious university because it rejected his son.

Social media users began to speculate that Trump’s youngest was rejected from the prestigious institution last week

First Lady Melania Trump is dismissing a viral online theory that the President Donald Trump's administration is targeting Harvard University after they rejected their son Barron Trump.

Barron Trump, 19, is finishing his freshman year at New York University. The first lady said—via her spokesperson on Monday—that her son “did not apply to Harvard, and any assertion that he, or that anyone on his behalf, applied is completely false.”

Social media was abuzz with rumours that President Donald Trump has been targetting the elite Harvard University as his youngest son Barron Trump was rejected by the Ivy League institution. The rumours were put to rest by Melania Trump and her term saying Barron did not apply to Harvard.

A first lady spokesperson shut down “completely false" theories that the president is warring with Harvard because their son, Barron, was supposedly not accepted to the school.

Melania Trump has denied a rumour going around about Barron Trump following the Trump administration's clash with Harvard University.

It all started with a White House joke about Barron Trump's supposed Harvard rejection, a casual remark that inexplicably exploded into a widespread rumour.
