Debut in politics also for Barron Trump, the last son, just 18 years old, of former president Donald Trump. The teenager has been nominated among the delegates that Florida will send to the Republican convention, which will take place in July in Milwaukee: in the Wisconsin city his father will once again be crowned candidate for the White House.
At the start of Trump’s first term as president, he was 11 years old and Melania had kept him out of the political spotlight, sparking controversy for delaying his move to the White House for several months to allow him to finish the school year in New York, where the Trumps then resided.
Already during the years of the White House, the entire Trump clan began to move from the too liberal New York to Florida, where family members enjoy greater support, and there are four Trump children – in addition to Baron, Eric and Donald jr and Tiffany – named in the list of 41 unelected delegates who will be sent by the State to the convention.
Ivanka – who together with her husband Jared Kushner had an official role in the Trump White House, but has since taken a step back from politics, at least for now – is not on the list. Barron’s debut confirms the Trump clan’s increasing control of the Republican Party, recalling that his daughter-in-law Lara Trump has been vice president of the Republican National Committee since last March. Barron will graduate on May 17 from Oxbridge Academy, a private school in Palm Beach, and Trump has obtained special permission from the judge in the trial underway against him in New York to be absent from the hearing and participate in the ceremony.
