Donald and Melania Trump celebrate giant son Barron’s graduation from $41k college

Donald and Melania Trump put on a united front amid the former President’s “hush money” trial to celebrate their 6-foot-7 son Barron’s graduation.

Former first son Barron Trump loomed over officials at his South Florida high school Friday morning, as the 6-foot-7 teen picked up his diploma while his parents looked on from the bleachers.

Former President Donald Trump, 77, was every bit the proud papa — grinning alongside wife Melania at the graduation exercises for Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, the NY Post reports.

The 45th president was permitted to attend the ceremony by Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Juan Merchan, who called off the day’s planned proceedings in the “hush money” trial of the onetime commander-in-chief.

Later Friday, Trump was scheduled to fly to Minnesota, where he will be the headline speaker at the state GOP’s Lincoln-Reagan dinner.

Little is known about the details of Barron’s time at Oxbridge Academy, which charges $41,500 per year for tuition, and where he had spent the previous three years of his education.

Barron previously attended Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in New York City and transferred to St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac, Md., during his father’s term of office.

The youngest Trump has largely been kept out of the spotlight during his youth, dividing his time between New York and Florida while never speaking publicly.

Melania Trump — who opted for a blue suit jacket, white skirt and straw hat — has taken a central role in raising Barron and famously likes to keep him close to her.

Last week, the former first lady shot down the prospect of Barron being a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention to help formally nominate his father, saying the 18-year-old had “prior commitments.”

The high school graduate has not yet announced where he will attend college, and the former president recently said his son’s college options had been upended by recent anti-Israel protests and other unrest on campuses.

“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,” Trump told “Kayal and Company” on Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT.

The former president also revealed Barron has an affinity for politics and sometimes likes to advise his dad.

“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.

“He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do.’”
