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.
Greta Thunberg has entered the chat.
There are 12 year olds who can discuss political issues intelligently, and 50 year olds who have never read the Constitution. Age shouldn’t be the factor.
I disagree. I believe that senior citizens shouldn’t be allowed in politics. They wont live to see the repercussions of their actions. Both as politicians and as voters.
I hope someone you know saves this and shows it to you in fifty years.
You’ll probably be the one demanding that “kids” under 25 be denied the vote.
No, its cool to be ageist.
“Boomers” are anyone older than me, and boomers are to blame for 90% of all problems.
Reminds me of the George Carlin line.
The world is full of punk kids who are younger than me, and stupid geezers who are older than me.
Except George was making a joke.
