Here’s the Full List of Trump Family Members Who Will be in Milwaukee for the RNC Event – And Some Will Surprise You
It's like a who's who of people you don't want to hang out with.
The big shindig is coming up, and quickly. It’s just a few days now until the Republican National Convention gets underway, so it’s time to look at the lineup.
Of course, we all know that Trump himself will be there, since he’s their nominee and he doesn’t miss a chance to stand in front of a camera, ever. And it was always going to be equally likely that the three of his kids who have been named as Florida delegates — Junior, Eric, and Tiffany (who is going by “Tiffany Boulos” now, signaling that she took her husband’s last name, unlike her sister) — will be there too.
Ivanka is scheduled to be there as well. However, the roles the kids might play at the convention is as yet undefined. We don’t know if they’re going to actually speak at the event, or if they’ll just smile and wave.
We’re also not quite certain whether Barron will be there, though the pressure is probably on from his dad. But even though he was offered a role as a delegate for the Sunshine State as well, he turned that down; he may pass on this, too.

Frankly, I was surprised to hear reports that Melania would be there.
For one, she clearly resents Trump at least on a fundamental level. She has been barely visible during his entire campaign, which essentially started the day Joe Biden took office. But aside from doing nothing but small events for groups like the Log Cabin Republicans, she also hasn’t been to any of his court appearances.
Basically, her showing up at the RNC seems like a contractual obligation. After all, she’s already said if Trump wins she’ll be a “part-time first lady“, and her appearances at the RNC hasn’t gone too well in the past, like when she stole Michelle Obama’s speech.

Junior’s fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle spoke at the last one, and likely will this time too. She was also named as a Florida delegate (isn’t that weird, how you have to earn a spot at a convention as a delegate usually?). And of course, Eric’s wife Lara — as co-chair of the RNC — will be there speaking, provided she can find enough outfits in time.

Lara told the ABC affiliate in nearby Waukesha, Wisconsin that people would “be very excited and very surprised actually to see a lot of the people” who were chosen to speak when the nation’s Republicans convene to crown their king.
