Judge May Force Trump to Skip Son Barron’s High School Graduation
Breitbart ^ | 04/15/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

Posted on 04/15/2024 1:07:01 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has yet to say that former President Donald Trump can attend his son Barron Trump’s high school graduation, refusing to rule on the former president’s request to not attend the trial that specific day for that event.

Monday was the start of the criminal trial at the hands of Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who charged Trump with 34 felonies, accusing him of falsifying business records in relation to payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels. As Breitbart News pointed out, Trump is not being accused of “covering up a sex scandal.” Trump has denied all charges against him, but, if convicted, he could face jail time.

While jury selection has begun in the criminal trial, Trump’s attorneys are looking ahead and have requested that Trump be able to skip the trial on May 17 so he can attend his son Barron’s high school graduation, which is taking place in his home state of Florida. According to Business Insider, Merchan has acknowledged the request but has refused to make a ruling.

Do they just not care? Do they think they’ll get away with it?

No, they know what they're doing.

They're taunting President Trump, hoping to goad him into doing something egregious that they can then throw the book at him and say it was his fault.

He could go anyway and have the news say he was arrested for attending his sons graduation.

Except that isn't how it would be presented, instead, the news would say "Trump brazenly defies Judge's order" and most won't say what that order was.

Do they think they’ll get away with it? Yep

Correction: they KNOW they'll get away with it.

I would respond, but the so called free speechmusk banned me from Twitter. The Judge needs to be doxxed.

Rejoinder will be he did it to attend his sons graduation.

The story would have bad optics the moment the first sentence hits and people can point out that it was over his son’s graduation.

It would have bad optics for the judge. This is the kind of thing a suburban mom would get.

If the jail, there needs to be a nationwide general strike. Shut the whole country down.

Conservatives need to boycott the state of New Dork! If you travel by air make all of your reservations avoiding New Dork. Anyone with the ability to avoid it should.

This asshole judge deserves a “blanket party”. If by some miracle President Trump is reelected this guy has to go.

Hell, they got away with the Coup and steal. They know that we have no fight in us. Else we would have fought during the Coup and steal of the election. What makes you think they will stop out of the goodness of their hearts?

😡😢 Our dear RPOTUS latest Truth about NOT being allowed to attend Barron’s High School Graduation:

Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus “Biden Case” which, according to virtually all Legal Scholars and Pundits, has no merit, and should NEVER have been brought. This Fake Case is solely meant to attack Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME, who is seriously leading him in the Polls, for purposes of Election Interference. The Judge, Juan Merchan, is preventing me from proudly attending my son’s Graduation. Seems very unfair, doesn’t it? But this whole event is unfair. Every one of the many Fake Cases that are perpetuated by the White House in order to help the Worst President in History, by far, get Re-Elected, are UNJUST SCAMS. We won’t let that happen, but we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

What highschool graduation takes place before 5:00pm?
Would love to see the school delay the ceremony to allow Trump to attend and essentially give a 🖕🏻to the judge.

They’d have to make it much later. Since the trial is in New York and I’m sure Barron is attending school in Florida, that would be quite the commute.
