Trump To Headline Minnesota Dinner On Same Day As Son Barron's Graduation

David Moye

Although Donald Trump made a big stink about being able to attend his son Barron’s high school graduation ceremony, he now has an additional item on his agenda that same day — one that is far away from the graduation.

The former president has agreed to be the keynote speaker at the Republican Party of Minnesota’s annual Lincoln Reagan Dinner, according to KFGO radio.

The day is May 17, the same day Barron will graduate high school in Palm Beach, Florida, which is also a day off from Trump’s current hush money trial in New York.

It is not uncommon for Trump to schedule events in different states on the same day. A source close to the Trump campaign says he will attend both.
