The position as an at-large delegate for the Florida Republican Party will be the highest-profile political role thus far for Barron, former President Donald Trump's youngest son.

It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.

Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.

...

In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.

He had the chance to be left alone and most everyone out there was honoring that because he was a kid and wasn’t involved in politics…. Hope he realizes what he’s about to open himself up to.

Yeah, he's fair game now. He could have been like that one Trump daughter whose name I forget because she's entirely out of the spotlight, but no, he wants to join the family grift.

Tiffany is politically involved too, she just has less hideous beliefs so no one criticizes her

Hope he realizes what he’s about to open himself up to.

He has set himself up for ridicule for the rest of his life now. Historians have ranked Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump as the worst president in US history. And they will still rank him as worst president 50 years from now when Barron is 68, and the first thing any student learns about Trump is that he tried to overthrow democracy.

I mean even as a teen I knew he was going to grow up to be shit bag just like the rest of his family. But I had hoped.

Kinda like how Vince McMahon is a monster, but by all accounts his son Shane is a very kind, respectful and decent guy who has hated his dad's bullshit for a long time
