Donald Trump Photographed Grinning; Melania Looked Stunning At Barron's Graduation

Donald and Melania Trump were proud parents when they showed up at their son Barron's graduation.

The former president and first lady were both present at the graduation exercises for Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach Friday morning. The 6-foot-7 former first son was towering over the school officials when he walked on stage to receive his diploma while Donald and Melania looked on from the bleachers, the New York Post reported.

Donald was visibly very proud of his youngest child's achievement. In one photo, he can be seen grinning alongside his wife, Melania, in his navy jacket, black pants and marine blue tie.

The former first lady, who has an impeccable fashion sense, looked stunning beside her husband. Melania opted for a blue suit jacket and white skirt. The ex-FLOTUS paired it with a straw hat.

The couple's sighting comes amid Trump's hush money trial in New York. He previously said he was "prohibited" from attending his son's graduation. However, New York Judge Juan Merchan, who oversees the case, ruled that he didn't think "May 17 date is a problem." He added that his decision on Trump's request concerning the latter's attendance at his son's graduation "depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial," Forbes reported.

Before attending the event, Trump took to social media to voice his excitement to witness Barron's recent milestone. He also praised his son for being a "great student."

"Going to Barron's High School Graduation. Great student, wonderful boy! Very exciting!!! DJT," Trump wrote.

Last week, Trump talked about Barron when he appeared on "Kayal and Company" on Philadelphia's Talk Radio 1210 WPHT. He shared that the youngest Trump is among his political advisors. He also praised his son with Melania for his looks, performance in school and height.

"He's a little on the tall side. I will tell you, he's a tall one, but he is a good-looking guy. And he's really been a great student. And he does like politics. It's sort of funny," Trump said of Barron. "He'll tell me sometimes, 'Dad, this is what you have to do.'"

Trump added, "So anyway, he's a good guy. He's a senior now in high school, and he'll be going to college. And you know, a lot of, a lot of these choices of colleges are changing because you see what's going on in the last month."

Meanwhile, Melania recently released a statement announcing that Barron has declined to be a delegate nominating his dad for president.

"While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments," Melania's office said in a statement on Barron's behalf.
