Is Melania staying in the White House or has she returned to the Tower?

[Frustratedlady]

I haven't heard that they have enrolled Barron in a Washington school. Is he returning to his former school. Are they private tutoring, or what? I feel sorry for the kid being loaded down with this family. He probably doesn't understand half of what is going on.

[MineralMan]

1. I haven't thought about any of that for even a minute.

There's too much else going on that actually matters to worry about Melania and Barron. I can't think of any reason such things matter to anyone except them.

10. Just the extra cost of security for Trump Tower, if they leave the White House.

Other than that, right, who cares?

[MineralMan]

16. Well, since Google has the answers to these questions,

I guess we won't have to worry about that extra cost. Now, back to devastating hurricanes, earthquakes in Mexico and almost 800,000 young immigrants worried about being deported...

[Frustratedlady]

11. So sorry to have upset you. I'm also concerned about everything else going on...

but, as a mother of 3 and grandmother/great-grandmother, I have learned to multi-task, which also includes staying abreast of what is going on in this crazy world.

I guess I need to keep my questions to myself?

[MineralMan]

15. It takes much more than that to upset me.

My point is that it's not really all that important. As it turns out, there has been news coverage that answers your question, anyhow. Someone Googled "Barron Trump School," or some similar phrase, apparently, and found the Newsweek story that covers his enrollment in a school near DC.

As for Melania, she has been traveling around with Trump on a regular basis. Were she moving back to New York, I'm sure that would have been in the news, as well.

Neither Barron nor Melania have any real role in government, so whether they go or stay will not affect anything, really.

I'm glad someone looked that up for you and provided an answer. But, I wasn't upset. I just commented on your post.

17. "Someone Googled 'Barron Trump School,' or some similar phrase,..."

That phrase exactly.

I do favor letting him be a kid, but the story that he has started school made the NYT, Newsweek, probably the WaPo and the local Montgomery County edition of Patch too. The print paper in Montgomery County, the Montgomery County Sentinel, threw in the towel about two years ago and is now an online-only operation. I didn't check past the first hit, at Newsweek.

I went through what Barron is going through. I genuinely wish him well. I do hope he gets the privacy he deserves.

18. Personally, I have zero interest in Barron Von Trump.

Melania is marginally more interesting, since she often is a straight man for Trump on his travels. She gives the press something to comment on, like her stiletto heels, so they can discuss something other than the moron in the White House.

But, Barron? He's a kid in school. He says nothing, does nothing, and is of no news interest at all. He's a kid. I feel for him, of course. It's tough being in his position. I say leave him alone and hope he gets through all of this intact.

19. Well, New Yorkers have been burdened by the Trumps

The extra costs associated with protecting part of his family in New York City have been significant to the NYPD's budget.

Additionally, it has been remarkably inconvenient for many New Yorkers to have the additional security around Trump Tower because of blocked streets and sidewalks. The building is on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street which is one of the busiest intersections in the world.

As usual, Trump's selfishness has cost taxpayers and inconvenienced many people. He's a jackass and an idiot.

[MineralMan]

20. And, as Google reveals, Melania and Barron aren't going anywhere.

So, I guess NYC can relax a bit.

[PJMcK]

24. Your original point was clear

My response was to point out that there were reasons some people might be interested in whether or not Mrs. Trump and her son would stay in D.C. during the school year.

You and I both love the Google. It provides so much information and most of it's true!

By the way, most New Yorkers really don't know how to relax. (wink)

2. It was announced......a few months ago

he was enrolled in a school 30 minutes from the White House

[dembotoz]

3. good to see their support for neighborhood schools

[CatMor]

5. You know trump.....

he wouldn't send his kid to the school the Obama kids went to in DC.

[MichMary]

21. Did the Obama girls

go to a public school? I know that Amy Carter did, but thought she was the last one.

[CatMor]

22. They went to Sidwell, a private school

and Sasha is still attending the school, that is why the Obamas are living in DC until she finishes.

[DK504]

4. Too bad for Barron Daddy Dumbass

will be thrown out of office.

[milestogo]

6. Trump is sending her to Mar a Lago for the weekend.

[UTUSN]

7. She's looked happy lately, like she's gotten a RAISE/bonus in her future divorce settlement

for sticking it out beyond what they all thought they'd have to. She's even let him touch her a bit and hold hands and been almost perky between her modeling pout. The bonus must be gaaa-rrAATE!1

[femmocrat]

8. Who knows!

Barron is supposed to attend some exclusive private school in VA. Not going to Sidwell Friends where the Obama girls and Chelsea Clinton attended. I think Sasha is a senior at Sidwell this year? Not sure.

I also feel sorry for that boy. He never looks very happy.

[Justice]

12. Sidwell is a very exclusive private school in DC.

Just saying. Leave Barron alone.

[femmocrat]

23. ???

1. I know that. I was replying to the OP.
2. I didn't say anything negative about Barron except that he looks unhappy.

[Brother Buzz]

9. I heard the orange one is pissed Melania wasn't included in Vanity Fair's Best Dressed list

So there's a good chance she'll be sent to New York to do some serious wardrobe shopping

[Justice]

13. Leave Barron alone. Talk about Melania if you wish but leave Barron out of it.

He is a child.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

14. Barron has started school.

I sympathize with Barron, and I wish him well. He is clearly uncomfortable in the public eye. I am quite familiar with the social anxiety that he is experiencing. I went through that too. It's no fun.

Sorry for the all-caps.

BARRON TRUMP STARTS SCHOOL, JUST 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM HIS DAD AND THE WHITE HOUSE

BY JULIA GLUM ON 9/6/17 AT 5:19 PM

Some 56 million students are heading back to school in the U.S. this fall, but one 11-year-old may have an especially tough time blending in with his classmates: Barron Trump.

The first son had his first day of school Tuesday at St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, a private institution about 30 minutes away from the White House, according to The New York Times. A sea of Trump fans wished the sixth-grader good luck on Twitter as experts weighed in about what his school life might be like.

Barron is not only the new kid at school, he's a new resident of Washington, D.C. Barron and his mom delayed their move to the capital after President Donald Trump's November victory so he could finish the year at the Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City. Just before they relocated, first lady Melania Trump announced Barron's enrollment at St. Andrew's.

"It is known for its diverse community and commitment to academic excellence," she said in a statement. "The mission of St. Andrew's is 'to know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning, and service,' all of which appealed to our family." ... The school has 580 students, and about 42 percent are children of color, according to its website.
