After the Trump campaign confirmed soon-to-be-graduate Barron Trump’s role as an RNC delegate, and his dad awkwardly forgot his age while reacting to the news, he’s turning down the role, according to his mom.

In a statement from former First Lady Melania Trump’s office, the 18-year-old’s “prior commitments” are blamed for his upcoming and unforeseen absence from the July convention.

“While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments,” the statement reads.

      I was an 18 year old boy once. Getting laid was pretty high priority. Hitching yourself to the regressives will alienate kids his age, fucking up the priority.

      It’s bad enough the poor kid was born into this family. I’ll feel bad for him unless he embraces the bullshit. Hopefully his dad will die soon and he can try to be a good person.
