On Friday, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump got a day off of court to attend his 18-year-old son's graduation at Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida. President Trump, Melania, and Melania's father, Viktor Knavs, were seen grinning from ear to ear as Barron Trump walked across the stage and accepted his diploma for completing four years of high school.
"Going to Barron’s High School Graduation," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Great student, wonderful boy! Very exciting!!! DJT."
Barron attended the $41,500 per year tuition school for the past three years after he spent his freshman year of high school at the St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland when his father was in the last year of his first term. Barron has kept out of the limelight amid his father's political pursuits, and Melania has been active in raising him. Last month, Barron was offered a spot to represent the Florida delegation at the Republican National Convention as a delegate. However, Melania's office said that he had "prior commitments" that prevented him from attending.
It is still unknown where Barron will go to attend college, with Trump explaining in a recent interview with Philadelphia's Talk Radio 1210 WPHT that the recent anti-Israel protests on college campuses have prompted the Trump family to recalculate. "He's a good guy. He's a senior now in high school, and he'll be going to college. And you know, a lot of, a lot of these choices of colleges are changing because you see what's going on in the last month," Trump said.
Turmp has also said that Barron likes to comment about recent political events and try to advice his father. "He's a little on the tall side. I will tell you, he's a tall one, but he is a good-looking guy. And he's really been a great student. And he does like politics. It's sort of funny," Trump stated. "He'll tell me sometimes, 'Dad, this is what you have to do.'"
Following his son's graduation, Trump will be heading to Minnessota to address the state GOP's Lincoln-Reagan dinner, per The New York Post.
