After the Trump campaign confirmed soon-to-be-graduate Barron Trump’s role as an RNC delegate, and his dad awkwardly forgot his age while reacting to the news, he’s turning down the role, according to his mom.
In a statement from former First Lady Melania Trump’s office, the 18-year-old’s “prior commitments” are blamed for his upcoming and unforeseen absence from the July convention.
“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the statement reads.
Or… hear me out: someone that hasn’t ever voted in their whole life shouldn’t be a party delegate.
Greta Thunberg has entered the chat.
There are 12 year olds who can discuss political issues intelligently, and 50 year olds who have never read the Constitution. Age shouldn’t be the factor.
