Donald Trump is reportedly seething over the possibility that he might have to skip his son Barron's graduation - a significant upset given their seemingly tight-knit relationship.
The ex-commander-in-chief vented frustration yesterday, claiming it "looks like" Judge Juan Merchan, presiding over Trump's criminal hush money case, will "not let" him be present for his son's high school graduation on May 17 - though this isn't entirely accurate. In reality, Judge Merchan indicated that Trump's attendance at Barron's ceremony could be feasible, depending on the trial's progress.
Trump's eagerness to witness his son's academic milestone is palpable. Despite efforts by him and Melania to shield Barron from the public eye during his formative years, the father-son duo's connection seems evident.

Barron had the privilege of splitting his time between New York and Mar-a-Lago in Florida, where he was enrolled in the elite Oxbridge Academy, boasting tuition fees of $38,000.
Body language expert Judi James has noted that Trump exhibits a gentler demeanor when interacting with Barron. Analyzing photographs of the two, Judi observed that Trump appears more naturally paternal with Barron compared to his interactions with his other offspring, not shying away from public displays of affection such as kisses or hugs.
Judi remarked, "Barron is a visual chip off the old block, even dressing in a matching suit, and displays like this do seem to imply that Trump sees him as his mini-me heir to the kingdom." She also noted that as Barron grows older, he seems to be stepping into a role more akin to an equal with his father, referring to him as Trump's "co-conspirator."
