It looks like the Trump family is closer to living under one roof — President Trump says his 11-year-old son, Barron, has been admitted to a Washington school, where he is expected to start classes at the beginning of the school year.

Barron had been living in Manhattan with first lady Melania Trump while he finished classes for the year, and some people in Washington wondered if they would ever set up full-time residence away from their beloved penthouse in Trump Tower.

Asked about that in an interview with Bloomberg News, Trump said his family’s move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a done deal. “They’re already set…. In fact, we just got him into a good school,” Trump said, though he declined to say which one.

And pressed about whether White House living would be good for his son, Trump indicated that Barron would be protected.

“It’s a cocoon,” Trump said.
