In a rather surprising move, Donald Trump has opted to forgo the White House playset that was previously installed by President Obama. Despite being a grandfather to several young children, including his own ten-year-old son, little Barron, Trump requested that the swingset be removed from the White House lawn. While President Obama had generously offered to leave the playset behind for Trump’s family, it seems the President-Elect had other plans.
According to a report on Mic, the playset was originally placed on the White House grounds for Obama’s daughters during their time in D.C. However, with Barron not moving to the White House until the school year concludes, the swingset has already been taken down. Speculation suggests it may be making way for a more extravagant feature—perhaps a golden statue of Trump himself.
Typically, grandparents relish the chance to spoil their grandchildren, enjoying the freedom that comes with being a grandparent. They can indulge without the usual parenting stress. Yet, in Trump’s case, it seems he may not even be aware of the existence or ages of his grandchildren. After all, children often take a backseat in the business world, which he is undoubtedly preoccupied with.
One could imagine that Trump’s childhood was spent more focused on business dealings than on playful pursuits. Perhaps it irks him that the Obamas plan to donate the playset to a local charity where it could benefit children in need. After all, why would he want to give away something that could be enjoyed by others?
In Trump’s defense, what purpose would a playset serve for him? With his well-publicized aversion to residing in D.C., he is likely to spend considerable time in New York City. If I were in his shoes, I might just relocate the slide to Trump Tower for a dramatic entrance into my “golden” life.
