Social Media Reacts To Trump Being Allowed To Attend Barron's Graduation

Tuesday marked the best of times and the worst of times for Donald Trump at least thats the joke spreading across social media.

Judge Juan Merchan officially gave the former president permission to attend the high school graduation of his youngest child, Barron, on May 17, announcing court for Trumps hush money trial would not be in session that day. 

Merchan didnt sign off on the attendance sooner because he said he needed to see how the trial was going a statement the Trump family turned into right-wing outrage.

Trumps former lawyer, Michael Cohen, ridiculed the tizzy by noting he wasnt sure whether his former client ever attended the graduations of his other kids, adding, Im sure Melania is extremely excited hes not going to be there.

However, social media users pointed out that Merchans decision means good news for Trump in that he gets to attend his sons graduation, as well as bad news because now hes actually expected to attend his sons graduation.

Naturally, folks on X, formerly Twitter, suggested Trump should be careful what he wishes for, while expressing sympathy for his son.
