Despite being deeply rattled, Melania Trump decided to be present for her husband when he formally accepted the Republican nomination at the RNC in Milwaukee.
It was Melania Trump’s first public appearance since Donald Trump survived an attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania.
After such a dark incident, the Trump family came out to support the former president.
Melania Trump and former first daughters Ivanka and Tiffany stood on stage next to Donald Trump for the glorious finale, during which the red, white, and blue balloons descended from the ceiling.
Trump’s oldest sons, Eric and Don Jr, were also present, and so were many grandchildren.
However, one impressively tall figure was missing from the Republican National Convention.
Melania and Donald Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron Trump, did not attend the RNC. There might be a simple reason for the teen’s absence from the political event.
Multiple sources close to Melania Trump confirmed that the assassination attempt profoundly shook her. However, did it also push her to make some life-changing decisions?
Former Ambassador Richard Grenell stated at a Bloomberg event: “I think she’s shaken. Barron goes to school this summer, so it’s a difficult time for parents to go from having your child around all the time to leaving the nest. And then watching her husband almost be assassinated? I think it shook her.”
It seems that the violent incident where Donald Trump was inches from losing his life has forced Melania Trump to step back and reassess the plans for Barron’s life.
Insiders close to the Trump family previously told The Daily Mail that the map had been laid out for Barron Trump to be his father’s successor in the political world.
Thomas Gift, head of the Centre on US Politics at University College London, explained why Donald Trump would want to anoint Barron Trump as the one by saying: “[Trump] wants his last name to reverberate through the halls of power in Washington long after he exits. If Trump wins in 2024, you can bet he’ll want a large role in anointing his likely successor, preferably someone who’s part of his family tree.”
However, it seems the passing of the baton has been brought to a screeching halt by the assassination attempt.
Barron is supposed to study in New York; it is unknown whether that move and his life mission will change because of the dark moment in his father’s life.
Melania Trump has already decided to spend most of her time in the Big Apple to protect her son’s privacy whether her husband wins or loses the presidential election.
