"He regretfully declines to participate," a new statement reads
After the Trump campaign confirmed soon-to-be-graduate Barron Trump’s role as an RNC delegate, and his dad awkwardly forgot his age while reacting to the news, he’s turning down the role, according to his mom.
In a statement from former First Lady Melania Trump’s office, the 18-year-old’s “prior commitments” are blamed for his upcoming and unforeseen absence from the July convention.
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the statement reads.
Fucking hilarious. Prior commitments on the four days your father, the former president, will be nominated for president again. What are these more important commitments?
Baron must really hate his dad. Also, I assume Melania does too, especially with him forgetting his son's age and once again publicly running through the affair he had 4 months after she gave birth. Even if he doesn't care about the kid, he should be able to calculate from the dates that keep coming up in his trial.
His dad probably only was around for him when he was needed as a prop in front of cameras. And maybe show up briefly to give him a gift card on his birthday.
I wonder how much of this change is the result of the whole world saying "Well, he's 18 and getting into politics - the gloves are off now." Wouldn't surprise me if it was his mom's doing. I don't like her, but good on her if she pulled the plug on this.
There are 12 year olds who can discuss political issues intelligently, and 50 year olds who have never read the Constitution. Age shouldn't be the factor.
I disagree. I believe that senior citizens shouldn't be allowed in politics. They wont live to see the repercussions of their actions. Both as politicians and as voters.
There's a difference between Barron and Greta. It's called speaking. Have you even heard him ever speak or give an opinion on anything? His mommy is the one that announced he doesn't have time to do this.
I was an 18 year old boy once. Getting laid was pretty high priority. Hitching yourself to the regressives will alienate kids his age, fucking up the priority.
It's bad enough the poor kid was born into this family. I'll feel bad for him unless he embraces the bullshit. Hopefully his dad will die soon and he can try to be a good person.
I don't know quite how you would do this, but I'd like a combination of this press release and the first press release announcing he would be a delegate set to the music of the song Dueling Banjos.
Damn, now I gotta go watch Burt in Deliverance again.
Ps. Fun story about the making of the movie. So when the stunt crew was working on the waterfall scene they weren't sure whether they should use a stuffed dummy or a person. They decided to try both in 2 separate shots, with Burt himself going over the falls after the mannequin shot.
Afterwards the crew and director got together to see which shot was best, the dummy or Burt. Someone asked what the mannequin shot looked like and the director thought it was so-so. Then they asked about Burt's shot. The director said it looked like a dummy going over the falls.
Which is what makes this so funny. First the Trump team issues a press conference that it's happening then, apparently, Melania goes, "fuck no it isn't!" and releases her own press release about Barron having "prior commitments" on the day his dad gets officially nominated for president.
Just in case you were wondering how that marriage has been going.
I meant it more as "wow, I can't believe MSM is treating her like an official liason for her own son", more than a little (then quickly not) surprised they are treating her as a news source, and how many people pay attention to what comes out her mouth
Edit- I'm trying to reply to you buddy, keeps putting it after my original comment 🤷♂️😁
