Trumps Youngest Son to Attend Maryland Prep School.

'Barron Trump, the president’s fifth and youngest child, will attend St. Andrew’s, will attend St. Andrew’sndrew’s Episcopal, a preparatory school in Potomac, Md., in the fall, affirming the first family’s plans to reunite in Washington after living apart since President Trump took office.

Barron, 11, and his mother, Melania Trump, the first lady, have been living in Trump Tower in Manhattan so he could finish the academic year at his Upper West Side private school. Mrs. Trump has expressed reservations about bringing Barron closer to the Washington spotlight, although Mr. Trump said in an interview with Bloomberg News this month that his wife and youngest son still planned to join him in Washington.

Mrs. Trump confirmed the decision.

“We are very excited for our son to attend St. Andrew’s Episcopal School,” she said in a statement. “It is known for its diverse community and commitment to academic excellence. The mission of St. Andrew’s is ‘to know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning, and service,’ all of which appealed to our family.”'>>>

While I'm not very acquainted with St. Andrew's scene, I suspect she'll be drawn into the school's life.

So now she can go ahead and live with her husband in the White House right? I'd bet a good dollar she's going to stay in NY and the secret service is going to have to set up a HQ in Maryland as well; we'll see.

Meanwhile, Trump gives zero f's on how much money he and his family spend on everything and all of those Sob's on the right would crawl up Obama's behind if he ordered an extra water for lunch.

is the first thing I thought of, although that might not be politically correct.

In the meantime, they'll shred our safety nets to pieces.

Rich and super rich? Black, Latino, Jews, and Asians? GBTQ? Will any poor people with vouchers be allowed? Once again what is her definition of divers?
