Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, received a standing ovation at his father’s Florida rally in what the former president suggested was the teenager’s debut on the campaign trail.
Barron, 18, turned and waved to the crowd of Trump supporters at his father’s Doral golf course as the former president praised him for his smarts, demeanor and rising popularity.
“This is a young man. He just turned 18 — oh, look at this,” the 78-year-old former president said, stopping as the crowd’s cheers intensified. “This is the first time he’s ever done this, Barron… stand up,” Trump said as his teenage son rose and gave the crowd another fist pump and wave.
“That’s the first time he’s done it. That’s the first time, right? You’re pretty popular. He might be more popular than Don and Eric, we got to talk about that,” the former president said, in reference his other two sons—both of whom addressed the crowd prior to their father’s arrival.
“Welcome to the scene, Barron,” Trump said. He remarked that Barron “had such a nice, easy life — now it’s a little bit changed.”
In a recent development, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts related to a hush money payment scandal, which marked the first time in history a president or former president has been a convicted felon. This landmark conviction has sent shockwaves through the political landscape; as the 2024 election fast approaches, the implications of this ruling extend far beyond the former president himself, as it redefines the very nature of political accountability.
A new layer of complexity added, the Supreme Court has recently issued a ruling that grants presidents absolute immunity for exercising their core constitutional powers and a presumption of immunity for other official acts. In other words, the court president deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to immunity for official acts and, therefore, the bar is really high to prove otherwise.
This decision further complicates the work of prosecutors in the various criminal cases Trump faces, as they must now carefully navigate the intricate legal landscape to determine which acts fall under the umbrella of immunity.
