Kaya Walker, president of the Republican students at New York University (USA), has just resigned after accidentally calling US President Donald Trump's youngest son Barron Trump "eccentric".

Ms. Walker, when answering Vanity Fair magazine about Barron Trump's experience when he studied at New York University, accidentally commented that "he was a little eccentric."

"He was a bit of a weirdo at school. He would come to class and then go home," Ms Walker was quoted as saying by the Telegraph .

According to the Telegraph , Ms. Walker recently resigned as president of the New York University chapter of the College Republicans of America (CRA).

CRA is a national organization dedicated to helping Republicans cultivate the "next generation of Republican activists."

In a statement, the CRA said Ms Walker had been "unfairly framed" in her interview with Vanity Fair, but the organisation maintained that Ms Walker's comments about Barron were "inconsistent with the values ​​and principles that our organisation upholds".

The CRA said Ms Walker's statements were "inappropriate" and had accepted her resignation.

"Barron Trump represents the future of the conservative movement and we would be honored to have him join the College Republicans of America," said CRA President Will Donahue.

According to Mr. Donahue, Barron Trump has demonstrated "strong leadership built on resilience, courage and humility to rise above petty hostility."

Barron Trump enrolled at New York University in September 2024, attending the Stern School of Business, one of the world's leading business schools.

According to friends, Barron is a kind and quite "chill" person (a word used to describe optimistic, comfortable, and easy-going people).
