"He regretfully declines to participate," a new statement reads

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.

    It’s literally what happened. It wasn’t him who said it, it was the spokesperson for his mom.

      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 🤷‍♂️😁
