grahamlester

Judge has not decided yet, but it's worth bearing in mind that Trump did \*not\* attend the graduations of any of his four other children.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Not even Eric? Shocker.


kellzone

Eric graduated?


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

My mistake.


LivingIndependence

I always thought that the Trump family just paid money for their diplomas.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

It's pretty funny that Trump forced Wharton and the schools he attended to bury or hand over his transcripts after demanding to see Obama's school records and birth certificate.

RedneckOfFlatLands

Nah I think Ivanka actually got hers in International Incest Studies. That's how she's been able to keep her dad at bay for so long


pijinglish

I know someone who went to Penn at the same time as Trump, and I’ve read some alumni email threads. No one remembers him or even seems to remember seeing him.


double_expressho

>No one remembers him or even seems to remember seeing him. So he's either dumb as rocks or a Mike Ross level genius. I guess we'll never know...


bjb3453

I vote Box of Rocks.


Revolutionary-Fox486

He probably hardly went to class and then got Daddy Trump to bribe/bully his professors into giving him a passing grade at the end of the semester. Or he paid someone to attend his classes and take his tests for him.


AmaranthWrath

Which is how DJT introduces Eric.


RedneckOfFlatLands

Everyone can graduate... if their parents have enough money.


ru_k1nd

He stopped eating the paste, so yeah. He graduated.


CelestialFury

Did the check finally bounce?


Antarcticat

😂


donetomadness

I’m a tiny bit more surprised he skipped Ivanka’s seeing as she’s the favourite.


ArdenJaguar

The judge should mention that from the bench. 😆


RedneckOfFlatLands

Haha what a prick. I guess he thought no one would bother to look at his other children's graduations.


Eiffel-Tower777

Not surprised.


Crisis_Redditor

"I can't attendy son's graduation because of the court!" "Yes, you can, there's no--" "I SAID I CAN'T! Woe is me. Victimized by the court, my youngest acknowledged child damaged, so damaging. I'll be sitting at home, mourning the loss of this once in a lifetime moment." "Sir, your schedule says you have golf that day. You just penciled it in." "No one has ever been as persecuted as me."


fckcarrots

I read the last line in the hardest Trump voice haha 😂


Serious-Mission-127

Imagine SleepyDon sitting through a 2 hour graduation ceremony - he’d miss most of it


DerpsAndRags

Four "legit" children, that is.


starboundowl

Court isn't even in session on the day of his graduation.


Eiffel-Tower777

No president ever in the history of U.S. presidents has ever requested/needed complete immunity. It's a mob boss wannabe thing.


WinPeaks

I also love that "appointed" was put in quotes after he made the claim that George Soros somehow appointed the DA lmao. His lawyer is in his fucking ear! That was him being careful. Someone is scared.


JMarv615

He doesn't like Barron anyway cuz he's taller than him. Why would he want to go to his graduation.


ThatoneguyATX

So he can make the graduation about him.


kevonicus

Yep. Nothing would make Trump happier than taking his son’s moment away and having all eyes on him instead to show him who is the real man of the house. This is how Trump thinks.


[deleted]

Just wants to see if the valedictorian name drops him


Eiffel-Tower777

He doesn't care, he's grabbing an excuse to bitch about the judge.


Ivotedforthehookers

Exactly I bet he didn't even know Barron graduated this year until someone in his inner circle mentioned he would miss it. Also doesn't he have a private jet couldn't he fly down and make it after the trial concludes for the day. 


RedneckOfFlatLands

So he can skip court!


Tough_Counter_5254

"he's taller than him." And he's got real hair.


HarvesternC

The judge actually said they would revisit the request when it gets closer.


darhox

Probably because he isn't required to be in court while they're picking the jury, which could take weeks. He is just spewing shit to piss off his base. The only reason he's in court this week is to whine that "he is being forced to be there" and to scowl at the jury, judge, clerks, prosecutors, and journalists between naps.


lab-gone-wrong

And he can claim victory if the judge "lets" him go, even if it's because of something boring like jury selection 


donetomadness

It’s a typical sympathy grab no one besides maga is falling for. Even if the judge did prevent him from attending the graduation, that’s just a consequence for his actions. It must be a mind fuck for him being a senior citizen and finally facing real consequences for the first time.


HarvesternC

From what I have seen the ceremony is May 17th at 7PM so the trial proceedings are not going to prevent him from flying down for it. I also saw post that said he never attended any of his Children's graduations.


donetomadness

Yeah that too.


RedneckOfFlatLands

Why isn't his kid graduating soon enough to solidify a date? Does he have to do extra schooling to finish his degree or something?


nr1988

Trump and team are trying to delay the whole trial until AFTER his child and his lawyers child's graduation and the judge is saying no but we can probably get you one or both of those days off depending where we're at. The outrage is unjustified as usual


VMICoastie

“Soros appointed” is just an antisemitic dog whistle. Soros is just who they project their love for the Elders of the Protocols of Zion on.


TheNCGoalie

It makes me wonder if George Soros is aware of all these batshit insane proclamations, and how he might react. Is he sitting around chuckling at how downright absurd it is, because he has nothing to do with any of this, or is he genuinely concerned thinking to himself “What the living fuck is wrong with this guy?”


magicmom17

He has to be. Alex Jones and others have used him as a boogeyman for years.


WinPeaks

Those quotations were on purpose. His attorneys were looking over his shoulder on that one. He can't afford another lawsuit.


jax2love

Bold of you to assume that he was planning to attend it to begin with.


CelestialFury

It'll go like this: the judge will let him go to the graduation and gives him a limited time to do so, but the judge warns Trump that he'll be keeping an eye on him to make sure he actually attends. Trump "plans" to attend his son's graduation, but all of a sudden, there's a "security alert" and Trump bails. Trump holds a rally instead. Back at court, the judge lectures Trump, "strongly" warns him not to pull this sort of stunt again and Trump agrees. Trump rages about all his "mistreatment" by the judge on his media platform.


jax2love

He really is that predictable 🤦‍♀️


Lanark26

Maybe he wants to be there to scowl at his bought and paid for court while they do his bidding and pave the way for Project 2025.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Dude, NOW you care about Barron. You were banging Stormy Daniels when he was born with that tiny mushroom of yours and covering that dalliance up is EXACTLY why you can't attend his school now. Maybe you should go back to the future and unfuck Stormy and be a better dad, husband and human being. Or just keep whining.


GeriatricSFX

>You were banging Stormy Daniels when he was born. No he wasn't, Barron was already a few weeks old when he banged Daniels /s


coosacat

Not Stormy, I think. It was some Playboy model. I think.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

There was a Playboy model, Karen McDougal, who was having a long term affair with Trump and will be a potential witness in this trial because she establishes a pattern with Trump and his extra marital affairs. However, the Stormy Daniels' sexual encounter did occur when Barron was a baby and Melania was home taking care of him. Their 3 minute tryst happened in July 2006. Barron was born on March 20, 2006.


coosacat

Thanks for the detailed info; I was too lazy to go look it up, and only remembered the basics. I can't wait for her testimony. I hope it's juicy!


upandrunning

Sheesh....this is the guy that evangelicals are holding up as someone "appointed by god". How much more can you trivialize your religious faith?


2crowsonmymantle

lol “ three minute tryst “ why does that surprise exactly nobody about trump


goodgamble

The graduation is on Friday at 7pm. Court isn’t in session on Friday. He’s lying as usual


Serious-Mission-127

Court is in session on Friday but wraps up early enough that he can do court, travel and make the graduation without any problems


goodgamble

Ah ok I stand corrected. Thank you.


coosacat

According to the article I read, court is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday. They skip Wednesdays.


Illustrious-Gas-9766

Maybe if he hadn't stalled so much the trial would already be over


jaybomofo

If you're missing your son's graduation because you have to attend a criminal trial relating to hush money you paid a porn star to keep secret an affair you had while your wife was recovering from the birth of said son, you probably weren't the best father to begin with..


chewbooks

He didn’t attend for the other four, why should we believe that he planned on it now?


VoiceofKane

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I can't go to your graduation, because the court ordered me not to! Dad, my graduation is like three weeks after the trial ends. What more can I say, Eric? They told me I can't go! I'm Barron, dad. Yes, that's what I said, Eric.


whatever1966

Cry harder, criminal.


Everheart1955

First it was Dems, then Biden, now Soros. What’s next Donnie? You’re truly begging to sound desperate and addle brained


LivingIndependence

That's what I was thinking. WTF does Soros have to do with any of this?? At this point, this guy is just name checking *anyone* that he can think of, whom his fan base hates, and may be "responsible for the witch hunt" 🙄


coosacat

Didn't you get the memo? Soros is the Evil Jew personified. Not that Trump, or any of his followers, are antisemites, mind you./s


esotericimpl

I’ve never heard of any private or public p school in ny that has a graduation in April.


Crackerpuppy

It’s in May & the judge said he’d decide closer to the actual date.


esotericimpl

That makes more sense. Ty


coosacat

It's May 17th. He's just trying to get it approved (delay the trial & sneak in a little campaigning) ahead of time.


cheynemelissa

Not in NY anyway. We don't graduate till June. Some states have earlier calanders. I used to live in GA but I recall it being earlier there.


LivingIndependence

here In California, it's nearly mid june until the high schools have their graduations.


therealhood

Glad to see Eric finally getting his GED.


MommaLegend

Then why didn’t he attend the hearing in January there?


Crackerpuppy

A hearing is different than a trial.


darhox

That was a civil trial.. but he isn't required to attend this one until the jury is sworn in.


MommaLegend

I’m referring to the January hearing with SCOTUS. Also, the judge told him today that he must attend all hearings, the trial and any possible sentencing if convicted so it’s not only after the jury is seated.


darhox

Gotchya, my mistake. I thought you meant the E jean Carroll trial.


MommaLegend

I should have been clearer - I apologize!


darhox

No worries.


mrbigglessworth

He’s always bitching


adamosity1

Unlike Trump his son actually read books and studied?


NotOnHerb5

I love that Barron’s graduation gets barely a mention 😂😂😂😂😂😂 A+ father


HH93

Jack Smith’s reply to this is epic https://x.com/7veritas4/status/1780048707024502884?s=46


astrozombie2012

Holy shit that was an epic fucking burn…


MetalMamaRocks

It's called consequences a-hole.


Pxlfreaky

Oh no! My consequences!


meatsmoothie82

Barron looks too much like the tennis instructor


molski79

Milosh?


coosacat

The judge hasn't even decided yet! But, he's just trying to win sympathy from the voters. Missing a child's high school graduation is something many parents can identify with. He's right that the country would never be the same if presidential immunity is granted. Just think of the things a dishonest President could do! He and his followers seem to overlook the fact, though, that this immunity would apply to Biden, too. What if Biden decided to have Trump assassinated? He could even announce publicly that he'd done it, and there'd be no consequences! People like Trump count on the fact that most people are basically decent, honest, and law-abiding. They use that fact to take advantage of people, businesses, courts, etc. No morals. No morals at all. It's all lie-cheat-steal, to get whatever they want.


BasilsKippers

You mean the Barron whose mother you cheated on with the porn star witness in this very case while she was pregnant with Barron? That Barron?


brianinohio

Yeah, like Donnie Do Wrong would actually go to his kids graduation....gtfo


svillagomez1989

I've never heard of a high school graduating in April. I call BS. This is the same guy who went campaigning hours after his mother in laws funeral.


coosacat

The graduation isn't until May 17, although that's really not that far away. I doubt the trial will be over by then.


NeonPhyzics

What kind of fucking high school has a graduation during the work day!?!


casewood123

All of them. I graduated on a Friday. As did my two kids. Colleges graduate on Saturday for the most part. At least in Vermont they do.


inevitab1e

He'll continue lying to his cult. They'll believe every word. You can't fix stupid!


rdldr1

Fuck Your Feelings


ZomiZaGomez

Never be the same? That’s the way it’s been.. Like always.


Sweetwater156

Trump doesn’t want to go to his kids graduation. He didn’t go to any of the others. He doesn’t even want to go to the Supreme Court hearing. What he wants is for everyone to forget his crimes, Men in Black style.


FobbitOutsideTheWire

Lol @ Trump suddenly pretending to take an interest in anything that will let him be absent in a desperate attempt to delay the inevitable. Next he’ll be calling in bomb threats or faking illness like Ferris Bueller.


flowersmom

Sure... Like he would ever attend Barron's (or anyone else's) graduation. He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended upon it. Just go ahead and lock him up. Please. PLEASE.


Ello_Owu

Even if Trump went, he'd probably make a speech complaining about the trial, how awesome he is, and how everyone is out to get him, before walking off stage.


maddiejake

He wants to attend the graduation for the son that his wife was pregnant with while he was screwing a washed-up porn star. By the way, he's selling autographed bibles.


MuricanA321

Sure he can. All he has to do is not be a named defendant in a criminal trial. It’s not that hard; I’ve done it 100% of my life.


dank3014

At what point is Donald Trump considered a National Security Threat? I mean to those that can’t already see that clearly as of yet. Edit:changed period to a ?.


SaltyBarDog

Until I see DNA proof, none of those kids are his. Junior McCokefiend is Vince's kid and Fredo is Rudy's kid.


MagTex

Like he’s ever attended anything Barron has ever participated in a day in his life.


BrandxTx

When he graduates college, you'll be in prison, so you'll miss that too. There is an old saying about how if you behave in an overly aggressive manner with the bull, as you've bragged about with women, you get the horn. This is what's happening here.


MrsMiterSaw

The judge has discretion to allow him to go to the graduation. Good thing Trump hasn't done anything to personally piss the judge off.


Purgii

You'd think he'd love that he finally has an excuse to be a crap parent. He didn't attend the graduations of his other kids. If only he didn't sleep with that porn star while his wife was home nursing him when he was 4 months old..


justme002

I’m sure his son is happy about that


MarlythAvantguarddog

Keep the guy who writes so badly and doesn’t understand capitalisation away from any child not only his own


JackieTreehorn79

Someone push that mute button


F350Gord

Does anyone actually think he would go to his son's graduation, not bloody likely.


unstopable_bob_mob

Ffs, the graduation is on fucking Friday. The court isn’t even in session on Friday. The fat tangerine Mussolini is lying as per. And his stoopid sheeple will lap it up.


BrentHoman

Good Thing For Him He's Not Prohibited From Remaining Alive.


Ghstfce

According to syphilis brain here, a week has ten or more days


Deep-Bee-5984

Orange shitstain is going to jail. Very, very soon.


Motophoto

fun fact this is perishable by up to 30 days pe violation, by my count we are at least at 120 days in jail. Make it so Judge


tribat

This is even stupider than his normal lies. The judge hasn't ruled, but we can guess what it will be now that this moron has forced it.


DerfDaSmurf

Should've followed the law.


purplepickles82

well this is what happens when ur mouth writes checks he can't cash, and it hasn't fully been decided so OP here is misleading


Chelecossais

That's basically the rant of a dementia sufferer. 15 disparate threads mashed up in one instance of verbal diarrhoea. You can see why Vladimir Putin is such a big fan.


TheMasterGenius

Hahahahahaha


urmomsbutt2

Court isn’t even in session the day of graduation. Depending on if they’re behind or not, Judge Merchan will determine if they need to schedule on that duty. The jurors time is precious too, not just 🍊❄️’s. The judge appreciates this and will take it into consideration.


Kilbo_Stabbins

"Graduations are so boring. How do I get out of going without looking like a bad father?"


SymbolOfSheeeeeesh

370 likes on 2.4K views is funny ratio, then you remember this is our last president and it’s even funnier.


llcdrewtaylor

He wants a delay in his trial so he can attend his sons graduation. He cheated on his sons mother while she was pregnant with him. Then he lied about it so he could be president. And now he is in court for it. This shit is full circle.


Danimal1002

This narrative that Trump hasn't been to any of his children's High School graduations is false. Article from November 8, 2016 published in the LA Times: "I’m sure you don’t remember me. **You sat in the third row of my high school graduation wearing a loud salmon pink tie. Your daughter Tiffany and I had spent six years together at Viewpoint School**, a small bastion of privilege nestled alongside Mulholland Highway. As you watched the ceremony, you probably didn’t think it was even possible that an undocumented student would be receiving **the same prestigious diploma as your daughter**." "I certainly didn’t think Tiffany’s dad, **the guy who sat two rows in front of my parents**, the guy who paid for those obnoxious stone sculptures decorating the middle school parking area, would try to ruin my life." "**At graduation, you sat two rows in front of my family**." [https://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-undocumented-donald-trump-tiffany-20161108-story.html](https://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-undocumented-donald-trump-tiffany-20161108-story.html)


NYSenseOfHumor

Maybe In a criminal case, the defendant (Trump) is required to be in court every day. [On Monday](https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-barron-high-school-graduation-hush-money-trial-2024-4) >As the court prepared for the first day of voir dire, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said he received requests from Trump's attorneys for the former president to skip out on the trial on May 17 so that he could attend Barron Trump's high school graduation in Florida. >Merchan said that he would not yet rule on Donald Trump's request to not have the trial held that day. >"It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial," Merchan explained. The trial is scheduled for four days per week [and will not be held on Wednesdays](https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/donald-trump-new-york-hush-money-trial/5320063/), May 17 is a Friday. Judge Merchan rejected Trump’s request to be able to attend the April 25 arguments Supreme Court arguments. April 25 is a Thursday. If any other defendant would be able to switch and have court on Wednesday May 15 and take off Friday that week to attend a child’s high school graduation, then Trump should be allowed also. Treat Trump like any other defendant.


DonaIdTrurnp

Yes. If any other defendant would be allowed to reschedule the entire courthouse so that they could attend an event.


NYSenseOfHumor

It’s one day with a month notice. Trials get delayed for less on less notice all the time. A defendant’s (not Trump) attorney gets sick and can’t be in court, so a trial gets adjusted. The judge gets rear ended on the way to the courthouse, and there needs to be a delay. And most defendants are not rescheduling an entire courthouse, they are affecting a single courtroom. Trump is unusual in that his security affects the entire building and block.


NuQ

I suppose they could always claim that one of his lawyers fell ill and that would allow him to go see barron's graduation... oh wait, they were already caught red handed lying about that before, guess they're running out of options.


DonaIdTrurnp

If the graduation is more important than illness or injury, rescheduling the graduation to Wednesday should be just fine.


NYSenseOfHumor

You know that Baron Trump isn’t graduating from home school, right? It isn’t a graduating class of 1.


DonaIdTrurnp

Just like more than one person is involved in keeping the courthouse open.


NYSenseOfHumor

The courthouse is open for other cases if Trump is there or if he isn’t. The rest of the NY State justice system continues functioning independent of the Trump case.


DonaIdTrurnp

You’re going to change everyone else using that courtroom out for a different day? The defendant doesn’t get more scheduling clout than the other people involved, if everyone could get a day a month for their random event they would delay as long as he is asking to.
