but she is denying he ever applied to Harvard.

That's why I clearly called it a rumor.

On the other hand ... (translation - logic-based speculation follows) ...

It would make sense to me that the child of a sitting or former US President (Trump would have been a former President when Barron would be applying to Universities) would require some special accommodations at any University they were considering attending. As such a young adult child, I suspect Barron would not be mailing in his application blindly as most everyone else would. He might not even complete a formal application until conversations were completed regarding the security and safety needs of such a noteworthy student.

Would it be unreasonable to think that Harvard declined to accommodate the security needs of Barron, and therefore Barron never actually completed a formal application? So Melania could be telling the truth without telling the *whole* truth. She doesn't have to be lying to hide the truth.

Or she could be lying through her teeth. Or even telling the whole truth. We may never know.

But we do know that President Obama earned his JD from Harvard. So that could be enough motivation for Trump to have something against Harvard.
