Barron Was a No-Show at His Father’s Re-Election Rally and People Have Questions

Donald Trump held his 2020 re-election campaign rally on Tuesday night and was surrounded by his entire family…well, almost.

Trump’s youngest son Barron was supposed to attend the rally in Orlando, Florida, but was a no-show.

According to The Daily Mail, all of Trump’s children, including 13-year-old Barron were expected to attend the rally, along with their respective significant others.

Ivanka Trump was in attendance with husband Jared Kushner.
Donald Trump, Jr. was in attendance with girlfriend Kimberley Guilfoyle.
Eric Trump was in attendance with his very pregnant wife Lara Trump.
Black-sheep child Tiffany Trump was also in attendance, along with boyfriend Michael Boulos.

But Barron Trump was no where to be seen.

Barron was also a no-show for the state banquet hosted by the Queen of England on June 3rd, which again, was attended by all of Trump’s children.

The missing of the trip to the United Kingdom was somewhat understandable, since Barron was wrapping up school in Potomac, Maryland at the time.

But school is out at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School for the summer, so it was odd that Barron was not alongside his family for his father’s rally announcing his campaign for re-election for president in 2020.

Barron’s mother Melania is notoriously private about her son, so no one really knows much about him.

Shortly after Donald won the election, his long-time nemesis, Rosie O’Donnell sparked major backlash when she suggested that Barron might be autistic. “Barron Trump Autistic?” she wrote on Twitter. “[If] so, what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic.”

O’Donnell later defended her comment with another tweet, writing, “Lots of us — who raise autistic children notice things many would miss… [some things] felt familiar #NOshameAUTISM.” She later apologized on social media for her posts.

Barron has been the subject of many inappropriate and, at times, horrifying comments on the internet. After an article on The Daily Caller criticized the then 11-year-old’s clothing, former presidential kid, Chelsea Clinton, came to his defense.

“It’s high time the media and everyone leave Barron Trump alone and let him have the private childhood he deserves,” she remarked on Twitter. Melania thanked the global health advocate for her words, writing, “So important to support all of our children in being themselves! #StopChildhoodBullying.”

Many people were wondering why Barron wasn’t at the rally:
