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

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.

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

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.”

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.

Some social media speculation is that the president is cutting billions of dollars in funding to the Ivy League institution because it rejected his son as a student.
