Although it may be a tight squeeze, Donald Trump could probably swing both events if he wanted. As People reported, Barron’s Florida high school graduation is set to take place at 10 a.m., while the Republican dinner in Minnesota won’t occur until nightfall. And while Minnesota and Florida are roughly 1,400 miles apart, a commercial flight could cover that distance in about three hours and 18 minutes, according to Flight Math. Assuming that a private plane or helicopter could cover the distance even faster, he should have ample time to prepare for and attend the dinner. Of course, this would mean that he would likely have to skip out on any of the fun post-graduation festivities that Barron may have planned.
By the way, Donald apparently didn’t actually miss the graduations of his older kids, despite this narrative gaining increasing popularity. “Do you people realize that Barron Trumps graduation is not till May 17th which is a Friday? Isn’t court dark on Fridays ? Also Donald Trump never attended any of his kids high school graduations. ZERO,” tweeted one of many users about the popular theory. According to Snopes, however, the Mar-A-Lago owner actually showed up for the majority of his children’s high school and college graduation ceremonies.
