Barron Trump, the youngest child of former President Donald Trump, was chosen as one of Florida's at-large delegates for the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by ABC News.

In response to the news of Barron Trump being selected as one of Florida's at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, a Trump campaign official told ABC News that the former president's youngest son is "very interested" in the political process.

"Yes, he's on the delegation roster and Barron is very interested in our nation's political process," the campaign official said.

Other Trump family members who have played an active role in Trump's presidential campaign will also serve as at-large delegates, including Trump's older sons, Eric Trump, Don Jr. Trump and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Trump's youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump. Eric Trump will serve as delegation chair while Guifoyle serves on the Platform Committee.

2. "Guilfoyle serves"? Only way tRumps & hangers-on serve is time in prison. Also, ABC is patriarchal

Guilfoyle is Jr's "girlfriend"? She isn't a woman? Patriarchy works in part by minimalizing women ( "she's just a girl" ).

Did the writers ever hear of the words "partner", "mate", "companion", "lover", "moll"?

5. Ostensibly an adult serving in a political capacity

means he’s now fair game. Ordinarily, I’d leave the children out of it, but taking on a quasi-official role open the floodgates to scrutiny and criticism. You asked for it, you got it.

Allegedly, has autism. Not that he cannot function because many who have it do. However, I don't think he would be into the crowds at the convention. Has anyone heard him communicate? This family is so pathetic.

Didn't the kid just barely turn 18? Please tell me he isn't like his father.

justice system and gracious tax breaks for the wealthy he wouldn't have the life style he has now. But then again he wouldn't want to be called a sucker & loser by his old man.

He's over 18, and now that he's a Florida "at-large" (whatever that is) delegate to the national Republican convention, he's officially a "public figure".

The gloves are now off. He may be openly hounded and reported on by paparazzi, political reporters, comedians, opinion writers...everyone.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if he was a closet liberal who ultimately disowns his 'father' (and I use the term loosely) and moves to Israel to live on a kibbutz?

Also, as long as he embraces his 'father's' politics and identity, may he never find a girlfriend.
