Barron Trump, former President Trump's 18-year-old son, has declined to attend the Republican National Convention after being selected as a Florida delegate. Barron will graduate from high school next week, and honestly, declining the invitation is the smartest possible outcome in today's toxic political climate, thanks to his father's divisive personality. Melania is known to be protective of her son, and we're pretty sure she's responsible for shutting this down.
CNN reports:
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines due to prior commitments,” the statement from the former first lady’s office said.
Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, had been selected by the Florida GOP to serve as an at-large delegate at the July convention. Several other Trump family members – including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump – were also selected as delegates.
The Daily Mail first reported Barron Trump declining to serve as a delegate.
The Republican National Committee will hold its convention in Milwaukee in July. Donald Trump has said he will likely announce his running mate around the RNC convention in July and has been floating several names both in public and private.
It would have been interesting, but the kid would have been torn to pieces. We've never even heard his voice. Mel has done a good job of keeping him safe from the public eye. I can't stand the woman, but it's true.
Sigh:
