BROWNSVILLE, Texas |...Another Trump has joined the hunt for the prize. This one is Barron Trump, the youngest of the crew, and that is something of a surprise. To date, Mama Melania had kept him out of the spotlight. Critics who note a clear family stab at wide-open nepotism will pounce.
Already daughter-in-law Lara Trump is co-director of the Republican National Committee. Eldest daughter Ivanka, who served (along with husband Jared Kushner) as an advisor in Trump's term as president, is said to be re-joining troubled Dad's effort to regain the White House in the upcoming November election.
This excerpt from The Associated Press: [ Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, has been chosen to serve as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention, the state party chairman said Wednesday.
Republican Party of Florida chairman Evan Power said the 18-year-old high school senior will serve as one of 41 at-large delegates from Florida to the national gathering, where the Republican Party is set to officially nominate his father as its presidential candidate. ]
It is something of a shocker.
For months, ever-reclusive Melania Trump shielded her only son from press coverage and any sort of national limelight. She has yet to comment on the change of heart, however, although she'll likely chime-in perhaps even today.
Donald Trump, meanwhile, returns to his Hush Money Trial this morning, where he is facing 34 felony charges related to business records he allegedly manipulated in paying-off Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
It should be noted that Trump's other two sons, Eric and Don Jr, also will serve as convention delegates.
And we're pretty sure that Melania Trump is about to take on a bigger, more-visible role in her husband's campaign...

Well, he WAS off-limits. Those protections were just surrendered by him.
ReplyDeleteHe's now fair game.
Well, he just opened himself up to a whole lot of misery. I think most people were willing to leave him alone and stay off his back, but now that he’s voluntarily stepping into the political arena, they’re going to be all over him like flies on s.
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't agree with picking on Presidents kids, when they are used like Trump kids are then they are fair game for memes and other political type attacks. No one voted to elect Trump's kids to office!
ReplyDeleteSad because Barron was being largely left out of it.
One more Donald Trump marketing device. Everything is "buyers and sellers" in Trump's world. Not a modicum of human dignity!
ReplyDeleteYou said it.
DeleteIf he wins a second term in November, Donald Trump wants to covertly deploy American assassination squads into Mexico soon after he’s sworn into office again. The cartels will fight back.
ReplyDeleteTechnically, this would be considered an act of war. Thought Trump wanted to keep us out of wars. With a neighboring country who we share a huge border. Not a very wise move. Also, one of our largest trading partners. What do you think that would do to the economy.
DeleteMonica De La Cruz is another Eating Republican. She was scarfing down some migas at Sweet Temptations on N. 10th in McAllen yesterday. That's all these Republicans do - eat, eat, eat.
ReplyDeleteAnd where is Republican Mayra Flores eating today? She doesn't care about the valley's poor people; she has cash to eat out every day!
Deletelet's work on a map of the places where Mayra is eating, so that we can fund an "All You Can Eat" bus tour. LOL!!!!
DeleteIt's lunchtime! Where's Olympic Republican eater Mayra Flores?
DeleteNotice how Vicente Gonzalez is not traipsing across the Valley, munching on everything in sight like Mayra? he's busy working for District 34!
DeleteFor the love of the gods VOTE BLUE 2024
ReplyDeleteNot deaf. he just looks it.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans can dish it out, but they can't take it.
ReplyDeleteTrump said we would get tired of all the winning.
No, Donny, we are sick and tired of all your whining.
My god. I remember when the religious right thought it was scandalous that Ronald Reagan had been divorced. Their moral standards have been completely abandoned at this point.
ReplyDeleteMY FAVORITE PHOTO OF TRUMP IS THE ONE WITH OBAMA. Cause only one man in that photo has 5 known children from 3 different baby mamas with multiple side chicks and it ain't the black guy.
ReplyDeleteHow long is the Judge going to coddle Trump? If he doesn't jail him, he's going to lose his credibility as a judge!
ReplyDeleteEcho that.
DeletePresident Biden warns of a ‘ferocious’ surge in antisemitism in the U.S. and across the globe. This comes as he is managing a series of crises, with protests rattling college campuses and Israel appearing ready to forge ahead with a planned Rafah invasion.
ReplyDeleteThat's great. One family in total control of one political party. One step at a time. Plenty more family members to go.
ReplyDeleteYou're a man now Son. Time for you to commit your first of many felonies for the family, I mean me. It's all about me. Now get to work.
No more protection for the kid. Comedians start your jokes. They're already calling him "Lurch" online!
ReplyDeleteAnd now Melania can’t say anything when Barron is criticized. He’s put himself into the game
DeleteThe underbelly of politics in America isn't pretty. As magnificent as our country is, behind the scenes in the world of power in Washington lies a layer of those who would gladly sell their soul to obtain or maintain a coveted seat at the table. It isn't exclusive to one party, but it's very visible right now in this era of Trump. Would potential candidates with only Americas best interests please step forward?
ReplyDeleteI’m so sick of Trump
ReplyDeleteDump TRUMP and lock him up
Vote Blue all the way 2024
It’d be great if we could leave the entire Republican Party behind and actually improve society.
ReplyDeleteThat poor boy has no idea his father just annihilated his future privacy and respect. He’ll never be able to wash the stain of his father from his reputation, especially now that he’s shed any prospect of presenting himself as a conscientious objector to his father’s behavior. He’s officially an adult and officially condones his father’s behavior. Welcome to the Thunderdome, kiddo!
ReplyDeleteIt 'boils down to falsification of business records’ not whether Stormy Daniels’ testimony is true
ReplyDeleteThe warnings are redundant. What's the point of the "GAG" order ten times over if you never impose any consequences?? We're getting tired of this B.S.!!
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump is more than happy to fulfill the oil and gas industry’s wish list if he’s reelected — but he has an asking price.
ReplyDeleteTrump reportedly solicited top oil and gas executives to give $1 billion for his campaign to return to the White House, vowing in return to undo many of President Joe Biden’s green energy policies if he is elected in November.
Trump hosted the country’s top fossil fuel CEOs at his Mar-a-Lago club.
Of course, he lied he's never gone to any of his kids' graduations. What a terrible "dad"
ReplyDeleteTrump’s defense team throws the kitchen sink at Stormy Daniels on Day 14 of hush money trial. SMEARING her!!!
ReplyDeleteA gag order is not unconstitutional. Get over yourself.
ReplyDeleteGuess Trump just broke gag order again. Told reporters Judge Merchan is "corrupt, corrupt, corrupt" after today's court session. Look out now...
ReplyDeleteHe's incorrigible. Need a serious response from the court.
DeleteWe want to know what his wife has to say about trump hiring girl for the night, and paying her $130K? Do an interview with her and let us know what she has to say about her husband.
ReplyDeleteLies will pass but the truth will always be present.
ReplyDeleteWe're almost two months away from the July & August oven, but the temperature in McAllen at 5:42 PM today is 110 degrees. The "feels-like" is at 122...our annual Texas Summer Scorch is early...
ReplyDeleteHot, hot, hot.
