President Trump is a social progressive as are most of the New York elite. In fact he is a progressive on many other issues. Look at the people he surrounds himself with. Look at his healthcare plan. Look at the taxpayer funded daycare programs his daughter is championing.
However, no doubt many of the leftists private schools in Washington would have refused Barron in order to score points with the media. Imagine if Trump had attempted to enroll Barron in Sidwell Friends and Barron had been rejected. The news cycle would have run with the story for days, despite the media screaming the children are off limits when Democrats are in power.
I suspect this school is today under tremendous pressure from some parents and benefactors to rescind its acceptance of Barron. Inside the progressive beltway there are likley few parents, teachers and administrators who are not loyal Democrats and far left in their politics. The left would like nothing better than to embarrass Trump in this way. In addition to tuition payments Trump is likely also quietly giving the school a huge gift in order to prevent an embarrassing rejection.
Stay tuned. This story is likely just beginning.
Melania should have moved herself and Barron to the White House as soon as Donald was elected- school or no school.
Staying behind in NY not only cost the taxpayers tremendous expense for security but causes the Libs to start ugly rumors.
Remember the outrage from parents when they learned one of the grandsons was going to be in their preschool. It was over the top with hate.
