Barron Trump can now consider himself a high school graduate. The 18-year-old graduated from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach on May 17, but where he will enrol at college is yet to be determined. His parents, Donald and Melania Trump, attended the graduation. Though, while it was an important milestone, it’s said that his father didn’t stay the entire day as he had a political event later that evening.
Donald Trump may be in the midst of his presidential campaign, but he is also on trial. The judge in the former president’s hush money trial allowed him to attend Barron’s graduation by not scheduling any hearings that day. Meanwhile, Melania has made sure to support her son regarding school work for years, but lately she has also made sure to protect him from the media.
What really goes on at the Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, we don’t know. However, we know that Melania has made it her primary occupation to shield Barron from everything negative that is going on with his father. Now, new details about his life at the Palm Beach mansion are coming to light. And it appears that Melania is controlling his every move.
Barron Trump and his family moved to the glorious Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House in 2020. There, the youngest son of the former president enrolled at Oxbridge Academy for his high school years, and it’s safe to say that Barron, indeed, has had quite the time at Oxbridge.
Barron Trump
While there has been very quiet surrounding Barron at his school, how he’s performed, and what the school is like, last year, shocking news about him receiving death threats was made public.
In the middle of August, a Chicago woman was arrested over alleged threats to kill Donald Trump and Barron. The social studies teacher was arrested on a charge of transmitting threats to kill or injure the former president and his son.
It came just months after she had traveled to Florida to allegedly stalk Barron. The woman had been questioned by police in Palm Beach outside the Oxbridge Academy in March, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The Guardian reported that the death threat was sent in an email to the unidentified head of an educational institution in Palm Beach County, southern Florida, where Mar-a-Lago is located.
“I will state that I will shoot Donald Trump Sr AND Barron Trump straight in the face at any opportunity I get!” the woman wrote in an email in May.
As per CBS, a senior law enforcement official said the woman had been “on the U.S. Secret Service’s radar for several years.” Recently, the “nature of her threats escalated to become more specific.”
“Her family has expressed concern to law enforcement about her potential for violence,” a senior law enforcement official said. “She has struggled chronically with her mental health and recently reported stopping taking her prescribed medication.”
Barron Trump – graduation from Oxbridge Academy
The woman’s court-appointed attorney said, “She would never actually get close to Barron Trump because she’s afraid of him.”
The attorney added, “This is all a little wacky, but it doesn’t say that she’s a danger.”
Luckily, nothing happened, and Barron Trump could continue his education at Oxbridge Academy. On May 17, their time at the prestigious high school finally ended as the 18-year-old graduated.
Of course, as a father, Donald Trump wanted to attend his son’s graduation from Oxbridge Academy. However, as the former president is in the middle of his hush-money trial, he must be in attendance for all court proceedings.
A little over a month ago, after leaving the court, Trump attacked Judge Juan Marchan, claiming he wouldn’t let him attend Barron’s graduation.
“It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son, who’s worked very, very hard, and he is a great student,” Trump stated. “It looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial.”
But was that really true? As per NY Mag, Judge Merchan never banned Trump from attending his son’s high school graduation. To make things clear, the judge later granted the former president’s request – and Trump was in attendance to congratulate his youngest son.
