Not at this point. And I think you need to put down the violin and consider what ACTUALLY happened. It was this:

1. Trumpty made a huge fuss about how, since he had to be present in the nasty freezing cold courtroom every day except for Wednesday, the mean old judge was making him miss Barron's high school graduation. Never mind that Merchan had not said anything of the kind. Also disregard the fact that Trumpty hadn't attended the high school graduations of any of his other four children.

2. Merchan announced that court would not be in session on the 17th, so Trumpty was not only free to attend the graduation, but pretty much forced to go.

3. It was announced that Barron, who'd registered to vote in April, would be a delegate to the Democratic convention, along with some of his siblings and siblings-in-law.

4. And since that would have involved him in politics, and in his father's campaign, it would have been entirely legit for the press to treat him as an adult.

5. Melania pulled the plug on the idea, and now he'll presumably return to private status.
