This ceremony in Florida offers him a family break in the middle of his trial for accounting falsifications in New York. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, Donald Trump was forced to listen for hours to the testimony against his former lawyer turned sworn enemy, Michael Cohen.
The judge granted defendant Trump a break from these hearings to be able to attend this moment with his son, so important for American families.
At the beginning of May, the Republican Party of Florida designated the discreet Barron Trump to be one of the delegates called to officially nominate his father Donald as candidate for the US presidential election in November in July.
But although “honored” by this choice, he ultimately declined “due to previous commitments,” the office of his mother Melania, the former first lady of the United States, announced the next day.
