Former President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has declined to serve as a delegate at this summer’s Republican National Convention, according to a senior Trump campaign adviser and a statement from Melania Trump’s office.

“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.

    Honestly? I feel like there’s a good chance he knows what’s up. And I think he probably understands why most people fucking HATE his dad.

    The real question is basically whether or not he’s been pulled into the bro-y frat-y toxic incel shitshow. And frankly, the fact that he’s been conspicuously and (as far as I know) entirely silent on the political front makes me suspicious he may just be biding his time until he can get out from under his dads thumb.

      This is my thought as well. I hope he can make it out of there sooner rather than later. Go to college as far away as they’ll pay for then keep going when you’re done.
