Fortunately, former President Donald Trump was able to leave his legal woes behind for a bit on Friday, May 17, and attend the high school graduation of his youngest son, Barron Trump, alongside his wife, Melania Trump. During the event, Melania turned heads and stunned fellow graduationgoers with her gorgeous outfit, particularly the tasteful and useful straw hat she was wearing to stay out of the sun.

As background, former President Trump originally thought he would not be able to attend Barron’s graduation due to the schedule set by Judge Merchan in the “hush money” case. “I was looking forward for years to graduation with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape the scam,” Trump said, explaining that. However, that eventually changed, and so Trump could watch Barron on his special day.So, on Friday, Trump and Melania headed to the highly exclusive Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, the school where 18-year-old Barron wrapped up his schooling after his family moved to Florida from New York City. There, they saw Barron graduate as two police snipers watched over the scene from above the announcers’ box while US Marshalls and local Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office deputies patrolled the area.

Trump, posting on Truth Social before the graduation, said, “Going to Barron’s High School Graduation. Great student, wonderful boy! Very exciting!!! DJT” Further, Trump spoke about Barron shortly before the graduation, saying that he’s a “great guy.” He said, “He’s seen it. He doesn’t have to hear. He is a smart one. He doesn’t have to hear much. But he’s, he’s a great guy.”

Continuing, Trump added that Barron is good-looking and tall, saying, “He’s a little on the tall side; I will tell you. He’s a tall one, but he is a good-looking guy.” Trump then added that Barron is into politics, saying, “And he’s really been a great student. And he does like politics. It’s sort of funny. He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do.’”
