Maria Francis, USA TODAY NETWORK

Barron Trump smiled and waved his fist in the air at his first-ever appearance during one of his father's campaign rallies.

“That’s the first time he’s done it. That’s the first time, right?” Donald said of his youngest son during the July 9 rally in Miami.

The 18-year old Barron Trump is the youngest of former President Donald Trump's children and the only child with wife Melania Trump.

"He's now going to college, got into every college he wanted to," Donald Trump said during the rally. "He made his choice and he is a very good guy."

After a standing ovation during the rally, Donald Trump joked “You’re pretty popular, he might be more popular than Don and Eric, we gotta talk about this." (Don and Eric are Barron's older brothers.)

Barron Trump graduated from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach on May 17 and according to his father, is now ready for his next step to college.

What college Barron Trump will attend in the fall has not yet been disclosed, but college move-in dates are looming close.

Barron Trump's father and four older siblings are all tied to University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown University, while their is also some speculation over New York University. Here is what we know.
