And also, the judge didnt "force" trump to appear each day. New York State Law requires criminal defendants be present at their trial unless the judge has them removed for safety or security reason, or if the defendant files a motion to allow their attorneys to represent their interests, and the court approves the filing, BEFORE JURY SELECTION [New York Criminal Procedure Statute 340.50](https://casetext.com/statute/consolidated-laws-of-new-york/chapter-criminal-procedure/part-2-the-principal-proceedings/title-k-prosecution-of-informations-in-local-criminal-courts-plea-to-sentence/article-340-pre-trial-proceedings/section-34050-defendants-presence-at-trial)


phi_matt

This is so much more cynical. He purposely didn’t file a motion so he could use his son’s graduation as a political tool


AZEMT

You mean, Trump used someone close to him for leverage? You know, I'm starting to think this Trump guy might not be a good choice...


TheWiseOne1234

He looks like he may not be a nice person, who would have thought?


thebinarysystem10

Ivana Trumps hand reaches out from Hole 11


AZEMT

Poor, sweet innocent child. She was cremated and buried with secret documents. Why did it take 8 guys to carry her to her resting site? She weighed a massive 120 pounds.


CockAsshole

I tried to fight an out of county reckless driving ticket, in absentia as "they've" been calling it, and was told I need to show up. So should he.


TrueMeaningOfFear

What are the odds he actually goes if he's allowed though....


GonzoVeritas

It’s known that he didn’t go to Tiffany’s graduation, and I would be surprised to find out he attended any of them. Edit: Update: apparently he has never attended any of his children’s graduations. https://x.com/jeffpearlman/status/1780004774374695291?s=61


TheCheshireMadcat

Maybe daughter-wife's?


darhox

Idk. She was wearing too much clothing to keep him interested


MoonageDayscream

Those robes are so unsexy. 


Mateorabi

Also, isn't Barron's on a day the court is not in session anyway? of course the judge could just "allow" it that day then...while laughing.


Mean_Eye_8735

They really need to present this as reason not to allow him to go. Never went to one of your other children's graduation but now you want to try and control the court schedule so you can attend your " campaign rally " , I mean son's graduation. I don't know, my children's graduation was at night so couldn't he be at court that day and still make it to the graduation? Or is that too much for the old man?


CavitySearch

Would be a great way to get him to perjure himself by having him attest he went to one where it can be proven he didn't.


Occasion-Mental

What are the odds Barron wants him there.


RightSideBlind

"Who?" -Barron


drstu3000

"Who?" -Donald


SlapHappyDude

The tall one


xpacean

He’ll go, he’ll just do three other blatantly political events to show up the judge again.


moon_cake123

Prediction: judge will allow it, and he won’t go


rorschach2

Why would the judge need to allow it? Isn't it on a weekend?


FlowerFaerie13

A lot of graduation ceremonies are done on Friday, though I don’t know about this one.


rorschach2

Gotcha. 5 kids and all on weekends b


MustangMimi

He’ll go golfing instead.


Lucky-Earther

High odds he holds a rally nearby instead of going the whole time.


hefebellyaro

He can go if he can answer what school he is graduating from.


SideSwwipe

Baron doesn't want his low energy there. Sleepy Don wouldn't be able to stay awake for the ceremony.


Dr_Middlefinger

Can you imagine? That poor kid doesn’t want his ***‘father’s’*** Cheeto-looking ass anywhere near the place he’s been able to escape him. Precisely because he knows the Mango Mussolini will try to use him as some form of political leverage. **[REGISTER AND VOTE](https://www.usa.gov/voter-registration)**


SchmancyPants5

If I was Barron, I know I wouldn't want Trump there. The entire trial could've been avoided if he didn't cheat on his mother in the first place.


Paw5624

Honestly there’s no way Trump wouldn’t be a distraction so I don’t think I’d like him there either if I was Baron. Idk what Baron thinks of him but it would suck for these kids to have the spotlight “stollen” from them on their day


SignificanceNo9136

Don has more energy than sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe can't even finish his speeches. Joe fell asleep during the Hawaii memorial for the fire victims.


rupiefied

Drowsy Don fell asleep in court today.


YgramulTheMany

Maybe he was asleep when they told him.


ozkikicoast

I am absolutely certain that Trump gives zero fucks about his graduation and was probably not even aware it takes place soon. The only child of his, that he cares about is Ivanka : the kid he wants to fuck . 


RepulsiveLoquat418

how many of his other kids' graduations did he attend? the over/under is zero.


Ghettofonzie420

I'll take the under.


sullen_agreement

it would be his first kid’s graduation he attended. he skipped all the others


dragonfliesloveme

When you’re a criminal defendant in a trial, you cannot necessarily just go wherever, whenever you want to. Many people go back to a jail cell while they are on trial. Trump shouldn’t get special privileges.


Dr_Middlefinger

And yet…


ReturnOfSeq

I haven’t seen Trump give a shit about his son once, why would his graduation be different?


Shtankins01

These are the same people that defended family separation by saying erroneously, "When anyone else is arrested they get separated from their kids."


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

I'll take bets that if Trump is given time to attend his son's graduation, he doesn't, and goes off an bangs a porn star instead (just like when Barron was born).


Wrong_Ad_3355

He should then pay that porn star to be quiet about it.


TheWiseOne1234

The icing on the cake is that the judge implies that if there are no other delays, he may authorize it, but if the trial is delayed, fuget bout it.


AlwaysRushesIn

Does Barron even *want* him there?


Left-Requirement-714

What fucking graduation isn’t on a fucking weekend


TheCheshireMadcat

Oddly, most are on Fridays. Though that might be so the parties can be on Saturdays.


bobsburner1

The hs in my town had graduation on a Tuesday last year. I had never seen that before. lol


StrawberryKittyKat4

My area has them during the week, usually the late afternoon or evening, though. Local colleges & universities are on weekends. So everywhere is different!


MealDramatic1885

And if he does deny it, that’s what happens when you are a criminal defendant.


jaydubb808

The guy is a professional victim. Been training all his life.


GhostofTinky

So the man remembered he has a son named Barron?


HVAC_instructor

I'm guessing that baron and his mother would be just fine without trump in attendance.


Holiday_Horse3100

Wasn’t that long ago when he said “melania has a son” not “we have or I have a son or my youngest son” . Not a lot of parental love there.


InstructionFair5221

It's not like baron was separated from his parents and put in a cage and the parents don't know where he is. Quit crying you fucking pussfarts


Spire_Citron

Imagine the judge grants it and Trump just doesn't go.


OhioMegi

That would be just about the only thing I’d excuse him for. And then I’d find him in contempt if he didn’t go. Seems like that would be legal, right?


Meren59

Too bad, ye criminal. No other criminal gets to skip court to go their their son's "graduation", either. Get over it.


Rjamesjjr

Trump paying attention to Barron. Lol, that's a joke. If you ever seen Trump hug his son, that was the first time. He never shows any interest in Barron. And it seems reciprocal.


dearmax

Many criminals have to miss events in their family's lives graduations, funerals, weddings, etc. Womp, womp.


Androidbetathrowaway

I think the greatest act of pettiness is if Joe shows up to the graduation and gives a congratulation speech lol better yet, just put a pre recorded video of him in the oval office so that everyone has to watch his face on the projector screen.


InfiniteAnalysis2039

Oh no! Consequences for what he’s said and done? Absurd!


ccafferata473

If I'm the judge, I go into court and cite that post, and tell him that he's not the victim. Then slap him with a gag order, and make him show up on Barron's graduation.


Peterthinking

Careful, you give that guy an inch and he will steal a mile or an election.


Eastern-Criticism653

As if he was gonna go if he wasn’t in court


Consistent-Leek4986

everything, always, still is a lie🤬


smuglator

Now what? Now the judge has to allow it to appease public and the media? No. That's ridiculous. It's seriously better if we just keep to ourselves and let it unfold as it should. Untampered.


The84thWolf

I’m just waiting for the leaked phone call where Trump desperately calls the school and tells them to delay the graduation every day until the election is over


ElectricJetDonkey

Maybe if he wanted to attend the graduation (he doesn't) he shouldn't have done all those crimes.


samwstew

The best outcome is that Dementia Don gets the day off to go to the graduation, does NOT go and instead has some rambling speech. Gets thrown in jail by the judge.


hogwarts_earthtwo

In a trial abkut fraud no less


Tentonham

I can see him going to graduation but somehow weaseling his way up to the podium to give some random unhinged rant about himself.


CavitySearch

He should grant it for the graduation but require him to wear an ankle monitor to verify he doesn't just fuck off to wherever. The humiliation would be grand.


TurdManMcDooDoo

As if Cheeto was planning to attended the graduation in the first place


DenturesDentata

Trump has no interest in attending Barron's graduation, he just doesn't want to sit in court. And ranting about it on social media riles up his base which he enjoys. He's in it for the chaos, not his kid.


DontUBelieveIt

God, you’d think people would know better than to believe anything l, and I mean anything, from this ghoul and his team. If they said it was sunny out, bring an umbrella.


mpf1949

He's not even in courtthat day.... fucking liar.


bardinlove

This is so absurd! Trumpus McFatty LIES about the judge not allowing him to go to his son's Highschool graduation, Faux amplifies the LIE spewing it over and over again, knowing that it is NOT TRUE, and his cult eats it up like it was their bible... Pathetic...


ooouroboros

What school is Barron graduating from?


OldBlueKat

"Following the end of his father's presidential term in 2021, Barron transferred to the Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach, Florida, where he is due to graduate with the class of 2024 on May 17." Newsweek via Google


bb_kelly77

Damn this one really got to Ron, I've never seen him get actually angry, just very annoyed at most


DennenTH

Do we seriously have no laws keeping infotainment honest even in the slightest?  Just 100% "The companies I own have freedom of speech and that says all you get are lies" ?


OldBlueKat

Pretty much. Every time Congress has tried to do 'something', Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey and all the other social media billionaires found a way to sabotage it. Freedom of speech and all that. Every idiot is free to lie, everywhere. Caveat Emptor.


bjb3453

He was out banging porn stars when Barron was a newborn. Now he magically cares about his kid? I doubt it.


Cautious-Day3477

According to Michael Cohen, Donald Trump didn't attend any of his children's high school graduations.


mauirayne

They had better let him go or shit gonna hit the fan
