I bet he was inwardly fuming when he heard this! He wanted to play martyr over this but now he will *actually* have to go, lol!

Merchan began proceedings Friday by addressing Trump's request at the beginning of the trial that he be able to attend his son Barron's high school graduation on May 17.
I dont think the May 17th date is a problem. So Mr. Trump can certainly attend that date. Attend his sons graduation," Merchan said.

If not, this would be a totally late, lame, and shitty time to do it.
But the kid is graduating. He deserves to know the facts, right?

I can barely think of an event more boring for him, lol.

(53,550 posts)I think that judge called his bluff.
Trump has been in everyone's face for so long, he's got to accept that most people have his number and know his dumb routines.

If he really wants to keep fooling people, he should consider getting some new material. A good grifter knows he has to mix it up now and then. However in his case, I think it is way too late.

Melania won't sit next to him.
He will likely swoop in just before baron walks on stage, takes a few pictures, and leaves.
Less if it's raining.

Not to mention other parents having to smell him in a packed venue. Hopefully its outside, with a very strong wind to watch his head thing tap out Morse Code as it flops up and down.

Go ahead Motherfucker, dont show up to the graduation and see where that goes at sentencing.
Also, I have no doubt that the other parents at Oxbridge are fucking pissed that theyll have to put up with the layers of security that accompany this fucking oxygen thief and the resulting goat fuck to attend their childrens graduation.
