Donald Trump Uses 18 Year Old Son Barron as a Shield in Latest Rant About Legal System

Last year, Donald Trump suggested that his son, Barron, then 17, was smarter than Joe Biden.

Now that Barron is graduating from high school (we haven’t heard about college yet), Trump is using the kid as an excuse for ranting about Judge Merchan in his criminal trial.

Trump wonders: “Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years…”

Who will explain it to him, and to poor Barron? Maybe the judge himself, who’s cited in the rant. But the judge hasn’t even ruled yet on Trump’s request to be excused from court so he can attend Barron’s high school graduation. So this part of it just bluster, as usual.

Does Trump not know why he’s on trial in the Stormy Daniels hush money case? Has he not explained it to brilliant high school graduate son?

Barron is set to graduate on May 17th from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida. Again, no talk of college at all. It’s likely Barron will take a gap year using the excuse of the election and trials.

Here’s what Donnie — who fell asleep in court on Monday — posted to his Truth Social (stock price went off a cliff yesterday):

“Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus “Biden Case” which, according to virtually all Legal Scholars and Pundits, has no merit, and should NEVER have been brought. This Fake Case is solely meant to attack Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME, who is seriously leading him in the Polls, for purposes of Election Interference. The Judge, Juan Merchan, is preventing me from proudly attending my son’s Graduation. Seems very unfair, doesn’t it? But this whole event is unfair. Every one of the many Fake Cases that are perpetuated by the White House in order to help the Worst President in History, by far, get Re-Elected, are UNJUST SCAMS. We won’t let that happen, but we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
