Barron Trump backs out of RNC: Melania's team blames "prior commitments"
salon.com
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.

"According to his mom" Jesus christ, MSM is really jacking this one off hard
It's literally what happened. It wasn't him who said it, it was the spokesperson for his mom.
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'm not a fan of her, but this was a smart move to keep her son out of this political media circus if she cares about him. I doubt Donald Trump gives a shit about him, he just wants more of his family in power because he runs politics like the mob.
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 🤷♂️😁
