The judge in Trump's criminal trial agreed to cancel court proceedings on May 17 so the former president could be in West Palm Beach with his son and family

Barron Trump's post-graduation festivities may be missing an important person, as his father, Donald Trump, reportedly prepares to headline a fundraiser in Minnesota hours later.

On Monday, May 6, the Minnesota Republican Party announced that the former president, 77, will headline its annual Lincoln Reagan dinner. The GOP fundraiser, held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is scheduled to take place the same date as Barron's high school graduation in West Palm Beach, Florida, according to local news outlets — though official details of the dinner have not been publicly released.

Donald previously petitioned the Manhattan criminal court to pause his "hush money" trial on May 17 so that he could join his family in Florida for the graduation ceremonies.

Anyone surprised?

1. I hope the Saint Paul rally flops, and Barron will hate him for missing his graduation

It will be the best of BOTH worlds!

[JoseBalow]

8. I suspect that Barron already hates him

and would prefer he not attend.

Of course, the feeling is probably mutual...

16. And Barron has much better hair too!

I can't imagine Barron has many positive feelings about his father, so yeah he'd probably be happier if Daddy didn't attend his graduation.

[Traurigkeit]

18. Probably upchucks after his "father" leaves everytime it shows up to "see" him.

[PatSeg]

19. Yeah good point

I can visualize that easily.

[NanaCat]

29. I wouldn't make that bet if I were you

The family says Barron is the most like his father of all of the kids.

His golddigger mother revealed in an interview that Anchor Brat was so enthralled with VSP's Apprentice role that he would scream, 'You're fired!' at servants who displeased him. She'd make them go home for the day, rather than disciplining him for being completely out of line. The Slovenian Illegal Immigrant thought her son's behaviour was cute and funny, rather than disturbing.

So the Anchor Brat is a scumbag, just like the rest of them.

Count on it.

2. Trump lied and manipulated the judge?

How shocking.

[patphil]

3. I'm not surprised at all...fully expected this.

Distance is over 1,700 miles and over 3 hrs in the air. It could be done, but I wouldn't put any money on it.

[prodigitalson]

22. he's gotta go now

right?

[onenote]

25. The graduation is in the morning. And there is a one-hour time difference.

He shouldn't have any trouble attending the graduation, getting on a plane and making it to a rally that evening.

[Deuxcents]

27. I graduated from high school a long time ago but don't they have family and friends

To help celebrate with lots of food n gifts n cards and decorations anymore? You just get your diploma and it’s just another day?

[onenote]

31. I also graduated a long time ago -- and after the ceremony, I went out and partied with my friends. Parents not invited.

So, I guess there are different ways of doing it.

[IronLionZion]

4. Father of the year

as if Barron would even miss him considering what Dumpy is on trial for right now.

[leftieNanner]

5. I AM surprised!

That he won't be golfing instead.

Baron and his classmates would probably prefer that tfg not show up.

[SarahD]

6. The two minute dad.

"Congrats, son. Good luck with whatever. Gotta run."

[Tansy_Gold]

7. LOL -- I was thinking more of the two minutes (or less)

. . . that preceded actual 'fatherhood' some eighteen years ago.

Yes, I know, my mind is in the gutter, but it is Stormy today.

[ZonkerHarris]

14. cats in the cradle

[KS Toronado]

9. Could the Judge cite him for Contempt of Court if he misses the graduation?

[moonshinegnomie]

10. i was going to ask the same thing

[KS Toronado]

11. I sure hope so

[onenote]

24. He won't be missing the graduation.

The graduation is in the morning. The rally is that night. He'll have no trouble attending both.

[Martin68]

12. Trump is too damn important to go to his son's graduation.

Or should I say, "impotent?"

[keithbvadu2]

13. One of the events can get a cardboard cutout or large screen tv.

[Midnight Writer]

15. I won 20 bucks!

[Traurigkeit]

17. A BALD lie to a trial judge... tisk tisk... maybe tsf falls down the stairs, a few times getting to the cell ?

[OldBaldy1701E]

20. I am trying to decide just how effective this fundraiser will be.

This is a blue state. Not purple. I think they are dreaming. But, who knows? I do know that this should really make an impact on the 'family values' arm of the rethug party. It won't, but it should.

[iemanja]

21. Republican family values at work.

[onenote]

23. He can and will attend the graduation and the rally. The former is in the morning, the latter at night.

Sorry to be a party-pooper, but folks jumped to conclusions without considering the facts.

[Doodley]

26. What a lot of stress for Trump. It would be awful if he had a heart attack.

LIE #2 EXPOSED: Donald’s graduation excuse

At the beginning of the trial, Donald complained vociferously that because of the trial schedule, Justice Merchan was forcing him to miss his son’s high school graduation, even though at the time Merchan had not yet made a ruling. When Merchan did rule, he said that, given the fact that the trial is running ahead of schedule, the defendant would, in fact, be able to attend.

Without intending to, it’s likely Merchan called Donald’s bluff because it’s likely he had no interest in attending his son’s graduation and we learned today that he is reportedly due to speak at the Minnesota Republicans’ annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner on the same day.

The Florida graduation ceremony starts mid-morning, so it’s possible Donald goes to both events. But let’s be real, most parents who care about their children throw a party or have dinner to celebrate their kid. They don’t hop on a plane as soon as the ceremony is over.

Donald’s graduation ploy was a cheap and calculated attempt to garner sympathy from his followers and drum up more outrage at Merchan.

A HISTORY FULL OF LIES..................

30. Not to worry!

I'm sure Barron's mom will be there, as will all his siblings.

Do I need to add any smilies there?
