Trump permitted to attend son Barron's graduation after ripping trial judge for delaying decision
Fox News ^ | April 30, 2024 | Emma Colton

The judge presiding over the NY v. Trump trial in Manhattan granted former President Trump permission on Tuesday to attend his son’s high school graduation in Florida next month.

"I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem," Judge Juan Merchan told the court Tuesday morning of Barron Trump's graduation date.

Trump had pushed for weeks to attend his son's high school graduation on May 17, but a decision on the matter was left in limbo until Tuesday, with Trump speculating earlier this month he would be denied leaving Manhattan for the event.

"(Barron’s) a great student and he’s very proud of the fact he did so well and was looking forward for years to having his graduation with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial," the former president said earlier this month when the trial kicked off.

It is unclear if trial proceedings will pause on May 17 or if the president will simply be absent from the courtroom that day, which falls on a Friday.

Are you claiming that going to his son’s high school graduation is “CAMPAIGNING”?

Merchan is evil, but I think dems have even worse judges.

Oh, so then we all know EXACTLY what YOU are.

And do NOT take that as a compliment.

The democrat’s judge has to follow orders from his handlers.

Bob, IF I have to spell it all out for you, then you need far more help than I first imagined you did.

OK, I guess you cannot spell it out.

And I guess you are not offering all that help you think I need.

I don't want to call out your inabilities by name, not interested in a name calling flame war; though what you are, is blindingly obvious, by conflating attending one's child's high school graduation with "campaigning".

And as far as the help you desperately need, you wouldn't accept what help I would proffer.

Somebody must have told him, “Stop being such a petty a——l. This whole thing’s starting to backfire.”

Yes, don’t call me names, then do just that.
And you did not proffer any help.

Go back - - My original post - -

‘Yes, gotta get him outta NY to do campaigning elsewhere.’

Read this from the perspective of the NY court, who wants to shut Trump down, and stop him ‘campaigning’ in NY.

Slow down, absorb some of the subtleties. Enjoy it.

You have been here a long time. You are OK. Love and Peace.

Honestly, how could this judge ever think he was going to
get away with not letting him go?

These trials this year will be used for studies for
decades, perhaps centuries on how show trials operate,
and how corrupt they are.

Granted, what you said is true, he DOES need to campaign; however, you said it on a thread about Trump going to his son's high school graduation and then agreed, that going to it, was "campaigning".

We agree on the first part, but your clarification is what engendered my response to you needing help.

I take back my original thought on that. But you need some help re writing cogently and clearly. And yes, I can help you with that; happily so! :-)

Yes, I'm an old timer here, but that doesn't always mean one is correct.

We're fine....................!

He’s doing it all from the privacy of the NY courthouse in Manhattan, a major media center. He can do his rallies on weekends, no problem.
