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.

Baron must really hate his dad.

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.

He’s 18 now. Criminal conspiracy could land him in prison.

I hope he does decide to get into politics but as a Democrat. Wouldn't that just chap Trump ass.

Trump was a Democrat until he realized the Republicans were dumb enough to vote for him. He'd respect self interest.
