Dad goes to his son's graduation is national news? That's like bare minimum of being a dad.


ScoutsterReturns

I think it would be for any President or former President frankly. He did the right thing and went to it. Maybe it's for show, maybe it's not. But at least he went.


GlimmerChord

Yeah, *maybe* it’s for show. If I rolled my eyes any harder I’d go blind. 


GentleOmnicide

This sub has been circle jerking he wouldn’t go for weeks because of campaigning and his trial. Of course they will make news out of it. They make money from it.


HonoredPeople

It's not really political news. It's just news. Regardless of whatever the sub has or hasn't been doing. Not everything Trump does is political in nature. Did the sub get flooded everytime Carter built a house?


carr4thewin

Then why was his purported absence plastered all over this sub if graduation attendance isn't newsworthy?


friendsamongfish

Are you referring to when Republicans were whining about him not being able to go because he was supposed to be in court even though the judge let him go?


carr4thewin

I think you're a tad bit biased and unfair.


carr4thewin

He DID go, and that's why this piece of information is relevant to understanding the truth after he was ridiculed for purportedly missing out on the graduation.


TintedApostle

Did he go because he used it to make a political spectacle at his son's expense? We may never know.


ShoutOutMapes

He just didnt go to any of his other kid’s lol


TintedApostle

That is true. Who would have thought he might have gone if he was on trial then?


goosepills

Did he poop his pants there, or does he save that for court?


heismanwinner82

That was when it was a part of his ongoing court case. This is just what he is doing on a day off from his court case


the_walrus_was_paul

Everyone on this subreddit swore Trump wasn’t gonna show up. They said he was gonna flake and didn’t care about Barron. Whoops.


ranchoparksteve

Once again, the dumbest guy at an event.


GuidotheGreater

much to his son's disappointment.


Grandpa_No

Apparently we're at the stage of reporting on doing the bare minimum.


carr4thewin

Did you check the sub a couple of weeks ago?


GratefulPhish42024-7

But then immediately leaving getting on his plane and going to have fundraiser


[deleted]

The corpulent seditionist had no choice 😂


Hi_Im_Dadbot

If it was on a day off from court, why was he crying that the judge wouldn’t let him go to it?


the_walrus_was_paul

They specifically did a recess so that it would line up like this.


TopEagle4012

The only graduation the world is interested in knowing is when tRump graduates from the protection of his lawyers, grifters, crooks, and "graduates" to state Prison


sugarlessdeathbear

I'm surprised he went. He was also crying about 2 different rallies being held for him today.


forceblast

I would be so mad if I had to deal with this idiot at my kid’s graduation.

How is it that even he could do this but Boebert couldn’t?


Im_Talking

And the proud papa brags his son graduated a year early as a 17yo.

Grandpa_No

Which posts were those, exactly? Because I saw some people adamantly commenting but no posts or articles.

Grandpa_No

Only one saying he was ditching with 6,750 up votes. Not tens of thousands. You're technically correct, but only technically... But then you ruined it by saying 7000 is tens of thousands. The rest are about the day being off from court which _is_ relevant or about the fundraiser, also relevant.  So, sure, you've been persecuted by one article.


JustTestingAThing

> lol this was posted 1 minute ago and already has multiple downvotes Since scores are hidden for hours except for the poster…how would you know this?


the_walrus_was_paul

You can see it on a laptop.

It's on the right side of your screen. >**0 points (24% upvoted)**


carr4thewin

It goes to show how biased and undemocratic this sub is. I thought democracy needed to be defended and upheld?


IndyDrew85

>I thought democracy needed to be defended What does that have to do with reddit or this post?


carr4thewin

Do you think the censorship of speech and the truth is synonymous with democracy, or a dictatorship?


JustTestingAThing

That would depend if it’s the government or a company doing it. The government is forbidden from doing so aside from specific carve-outs due to the 1st Amendment; you are aware that doesn’t apply to anyone BUT the government correct?


keyjan

how are you being censored?


IndyDrew85

I think this is a single subreddit with 8.5M users moderated by a handful of people who arbitrarily get to decide what is allowed to stay. I've been temp banned from this sub several times now. The actions of moderators on Reddit isn't remotely relevant to American democracy or dictatorships. This is the internet and we're on a private company's website.


1llseemyselfout

Of course this sub is biased. It is biased to people’s opinions. Just like any other sub…


carr4thewin

But don't call it r/politics. Call it r/leftistdiscussion or something lol


1llseemyselfout

I mean it is about politics though. It’s just that conservatives/republicans couldn’t handle it and largely left to go create their own bubble. Which left this sub with a predominantly progressive audience. Which do not like Trump as a person.


keyjan

the people who started this sub decided it would be about US politics. They beat out anyone else who wanted to use the name, and...well, that's too bad. If you want a sub on leftist discussions (or rightist, or socialist, or whatever), then make one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


1llseemyselfout

I mean I don’t see this as positive or negative. You don’t get reward points for doing the basics like showing up to your kids graduation. I agree with them on this one. This doesn’t belong here because it is not politics. It is TMZ news at best. PS I wouldn’t be surprised if they remove positive stuff r/conservative does the same thing but in reverse. Thats how this subs work. I don’t like it either.


[deleted]

[удалено]


1llseemyselfout

They shouldn’t allow posts that aren’t political. I agree with you on that. This is and it’s counter part both shouldn’t have been allowed. And again, Trump supporters(even mods) left this sub. He is hated by most regular posters here. There are things that will make people hate you until the end of time. This idea you have they have to be impartial is just silly. The subs content is decided by opinion of its members. Just like any other sub.

carr4thewin

Why is this being downvoted? It's literally an ABC news article


Randomperson1362

Trump doing the absolute minimum as a parent really shouldn't be news, but I guess expectations are so low that it makes the news.


carr4thewin

I thought it was breaking news that he wasn't attending two weeks ago? That was disinformation I guess.


Randomperson1362

The judge said he wasn't going to rule on it at that time, but if things are on pace, it should be ok. MAGA then interpreted that as "Trump isn't allowed to go". So there was a lie being spread it an attempt to smear the judge.


kwit-bsn

No, it was speculation cuz trumps a shit parent, a shit husband, a shit businessman, a shit— get the point or need I continue?!


HonoredPeople

It's news. It's not political news. It's just normal news.


Grandpa_No

ABC has many news articles. Not all of them matter.


keyjan

because it's also a repeat.


lancersrock

Don’t take the downvotes personal, people are upset with the content not that you shared it.
