A video of Barron Trump has gone viral following rumors that Donald Trump could miss his son’s graduation because of his New York criminal trial.
The former president was indicted in March 2023 on 34 counts of falsifying business records, reportedly to cover up “hush money” payments to adult film star and alleged Trump mistress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 general election. The 77-year-old has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Jury selection for the trial commenced on Monday, with Trump’s lawyers requesting that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee miss proceedings on May 17 so he can attend Barron’s high school graduation ceremony.
Although New York Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s request to skip court to attend a Supreme Court hearing on his presidential immunity claims, he has yet to rule on the graduation request.
Merchan said the decision was dependent on whether or not the trial is running on schedule. However, he confirmed that the business mogul could face arrest if he fails to show, with Trump calling the judge “pure evil” on Truth Social.
After news broke that Trump might miss his son’s graduation, a video of Barron went viral on social media. Beginning with a baby photo, the clip shows Trump’s youngest child through the years.

Shared to X, formerly Twitter, by user @PapiTrump, the montage was soundtracked with comments Trump made to the press outside Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday.
“It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son who’s worked very, very hard and he is a great student,” he said.
“He’s a great student and he’s very proud of the fact [that] he did so well and was looking forward for years to having his graduation with his mother and father there. It looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape the scam. This is a scam trial.
“I just want to thank you very much, but I can’t go to my son’s graduation, or that I can’t go to the United States Supreme Court, or that I’m not in Georgia or Florida or North Carolina, campaigning like I should be.
“It’s perfect for the radical left Democrats, that’s exactly what they want. This is about election interference, that’s all it’s about.”
Alongside the post, @PapiTrump wrote: “BARRON WILL NEVER FORGET!!!”
Since being shared on Tuesday, the video has received more than 222,000 views.
Supporters were angered by the possibility that Trump might miss the 18-year-old’s graduation ceremony, with QuickSilver commenting: “Evil robs joy from children.”
“Those radical leftist judges have no sense of conscience or integrity,” Jane said.
“Very sad situation,” wrote Maria Lehmann, while Cindy H. said: “This makes them look bad, not him.”
However, others mocked the post and the former president, with Gary Antonucci calling the clip “creepy.”
“Daddy in court for breaking laws, heartbreaking,” said @cheermeupuk.
“Never forget dad is a criminal,” wrote Boone.
“That daddy cheated on mommy when I was still in her womb?” said Bubba, referring to allegations that Trump had an affair with Daniels while Melania was pregnant with Barron.
“He will never forget, not forgive, what a horrible and narcissistic father he had,” said @GytisS.
Born in 2006, Barron is Trump’s son with wife Melania Trump. The Apprenticestar also shares Donald Trump Jr., 46, Ivanka Trump, 42, and Eric Trump, 40, with his late first wife, Ivana Trump, as well as Tiffany Trump, 30, with ex-wife Marla Maples.

DEMON RATS: PURE EVIL.
Children are not responsible for the sins of their fathers.
If Trump is Trump, he’ll skip court, attend the graduation and have that a*hole judge arrest him. That will move him up 15% in the polls.
Good Idea!!!!!!
Remeber what you said Mr. Harvey. Applies to you also
Sick and tired of political bias. Trump needs to have day to attend graduation
Trump should miss graduation of his son after what he did
What exactly did he do that every other business man has not! It appears you are not educated with regards to the intricutcies of operating a business especially a large one. It appears your bias and what ever happened to your innocent until proven guilty. Well it appears you are not in the cross hairs so following the rules of law apparently is not something you are aware of. Everyone should have there day in court however. The judge is bias and contributed to the Democratic party, the procecuter has also donated to the Democratic party and now how does a father going to his son’s graduation have anything to do with the case? Second amendment and 5th amendment and guilty till proven guilty. And it appears you agree without the trial even started. Shame on you! If you were to change places with Presiden Trump I’m sure you would have a totally different view I’m sure. How would you like to be considered guilty have your 2nd amenment and 5th amentment rights taken away and found guilty before even having a fair trial. Is it not odd that this trail is just as the biggest election in history to save America is upon us. I am not Democrat or Republican however the election isn’t about anything but saving America! Drugs, cartels, illegal boarder control, rape, murders, crimes, detroying city’s town and supporting everyone with out tax dollars who can walk or crawl over the boarder line. Explain to me why the board is not closed and secure. Finally how many illegals are you will to take into your home? I suspect none! Yet now giving social security on top of everything else is being considered as part of the support for illegals. Free housing, free money, free medical and if the government has it’s way social security without paying a single cent. These people from many countries do not even speak english and have no skills to even get a job! The school are overwhelmed with childred that speak so many defferent lanuages the systme is over burdened. We are trillions of dollars in debt with no end in sight. Now we are about to be engaging in crypto currency and the American dollar will no longer be and the govenment will have full control of your assets. Doubt what I’m saying well do alot of reading and research and come to your own conclusion! People like you piss me off! Speak out without the facts to back it up. Any father or mother should be without a doubt able to attend there childs graduation. It’s a parents obligation to raise a child and celebrate miles stones that child had made. What involvment did Trumps son have to do with anything going on. The answer is nothing! He deserves to have his parents at his graduation just like any other young adult. Anyone who disagree’s has no heart!
Talk about Iran and their sick and depraved society, this is something they would do to their own citizen. Let the man at least be free to attend his son’s graduation, for crying out loud!
The only Devil here is Trump and he is to take the blame for his problem himself, the judges are doing their jobs.
Cecile, exactly what has PRESIDENT Trump done? He gave us the best economy we’ve had; he had the lwest unemployment for Blacks, for Hispanics and the lwest for women in over 67 years. Our borders were closed, our crime rate was lower. He gave us a tax break and wanted it permanent, but traitor Ryan reefused, so now Brandon is going to raise our taxes prohibiltively. Hope you enjoy that. Our inflation was nil, now we are sky high. Gas under PRESIDENT Trump was $1.87 gal, now it’s almost $4.00 gal. Mortgage rates were low, now they’re almost 8% and banks are not giving us more interest on our money. They’re pocketing it.
As for Mar-a-Lago, the judge is nuts. No property in Coral Gables, with ocean access, a golf course, many bedrooms and even more bathrooms is worth what the idiot judge said. It’s worth in the high multi millions. Property in FL is sky high. This is nothing but hate-filled bias from DEMONrats like you who have no idea what trruth and facts are. So sad. DEMONrats planned trials for now – they waited three years to have these trials now to try to destroy PRESIDENT Trump’s campaign. It is ELECTION INTERFERENCE from the get-go.
Barron has done nothing to be deprived the right of his father atttending his high school graduation.
You are so sick if you think Trump is a good guy.
Some job. I represented myself in Court Actions over 28 years so as to present the truth without cost. It is very easy to go to a Courthouse Library and read one or two basic law books to understand how the law should be expedited.
It is not the position that makes the person but the character they developed!
The institution’s of the country are so corrupted, the country is destructing!
Are you going to enjoy occupying a prison cell if this conduct continues under Communistic dictatorship?
tRumps delayed his day in court, if he misses his son graduation, it is trumps fault, he should not have committed the crime of paying huss money. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the TIME.
Right on
Don’t state matters you do not know the truth about.
The FAKE NEWS DEM AGENDA is seldom TRUE FACTS these days!
…just billionaire Marxist Communistic propaganda leading to world control; depopulation; and “you’ll have nothing and be happy”!
I guess you idiots like my country since you got, not elected, your present senile old crook (has been for 50 years) child molester in the White House. Notice I did not say running the WH because he isn’t. I would bet my last $ it is the black crook that he was VP for. Keep on talking. You are just proving my point. All of you know that this hold trial systems going on now is crooked. Just typical democrats at work. They lie and steal the best. When President Trump said “Drain the swamp” he certainly was right. He has been right about all his claims. They have tried their Dammest to take him out. But have not succeeded. He will not go away. Go Trump! You are the best.
He delayed this thing and knew he could miss it, so he is to blame, but on the other hand the oompa loompa may have just thought it would be over and he could go. NOT! He delayed it because by May he may be in jail and can’t go anyway. NO ONE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW!
Trump lawyers delayed this trial over and over again.
Let all MAGA cultist remember that this trial is because Trump fudge the books to make the hush payment to Stormy tax deductible.
The hush payment was to silence Stormy during the elections about a adulterous affair Trump had with her while Melania was pregnant with this child……so please spare me the BS
If Trump’s attorney paid the nondisclosure Money, a rational argument can be made that is/was a valid expense… if it’s denied as an expense it is merely a matter of paying taxes due on the denied expense. This isn’t a crime… it’s a tax negotiation. This trial is a fiasco!
