Did Mom Melania put her foot down?

After Donald Trump announced his son, Barron, 18, would be a Florida delegate to the Repubican National Convention, the party is over.

Barron has dropped out.

Melania Trump’s office says: “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.”

He has comic books to read, after all.

Putting Barron in the spotlight meant he was suddenly going to be the subject of much scrutiny. The scowling 6 foot 7 teenager’s voice has never been heard publicly. The idea of having reporters tracking him around the Milwaukee Convention Center was tantalizing.

Still unknown, seriously, is what Barron’s life will be like in public. His father has made it impossible for him to go anywhere without questions about Stormy Daniels, January 6th, and so on being shouted at him. He’s going to live a very cloistered life
