(UPDATE) According to Snopes, DJT did go to his other kids’ graduations. Will Barron’s be any different?
The judge _explicitly_ made that not be a day in court so the soon-to-be-felon 🤞 could attend.
(Newsweek) Instead, DJT is
scheduled to give the keynote address at the Minnesota Republican Party's annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner on May 17, the same day he requested off court to attend his son Barron Trump's graduation ceremony.
He has complained publicly about being unable to attend because of court:
Trump had complained on his Truth Social website that he could be forced to miss the graduation of his "wonderful son" Barron, who attends a private school in Florida, due to the hush money case. However Judge Merchan confirmed on April 30 that the court won't sit on this date, commenting: "I don't think May 17 is a problem."
There is a small chance that using his private plane 🛩️ that he could attend both the graduation (midmorning) *AND* the fundraiser (evening). 💶
Bets, anyone?
