Donald Trump will not attend his eldest son’s wedding, reportedly taking place in the Bahamas this weekend.
After telling reporters Thursday he was going to “try to make” the intimate ceremony between Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson, but that it was “not good timing” because of the Iran war, Trump confirmed he won’t attend.
“He’d like me to go,” Trump said. “I said, ‘You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.’”
“That’s one I can’t win on,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked if he planned to attend his eldest son’s wedding. “If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed by the fake news, of course.”
Nearly 12 weeks into the Iran war, Trump is facing record-low approval ratings amid the public’s growing discontent over the high cost of gasoline, groceries and other everyday expenses – all impacted by the president’s war in the Middle East.
I take comfort and occasional joy at the knowledge that these people are small and miserable.
Golf isn’t going to play itself…
He has time to golf but not time for his child’s wedding.
Thats what i dont get.
Fly in on the big chopper, someone says “i do”, and he flies off again. Less time than it takes him to take a shit.
He’s making a bigger deal out of it by not attending.
That’s a good point: at first glance it sounds like a big deal because it’s “international travel,” but the Bahamas are basically right next to mar-a-lago anyway so (depending exactly which island the wedding is on) it probably actually is within chopper distance.
Of all the things the buffoon does that he rightly gets killed for, taking time off to go to his son’s wedding isn’t one of them.
It’s way worse that you’re skipping it bud
There’s no money in it for him
He probably has to stay close to the white house for medical reasons.
Reminds me of when they released that voice-mail in the run up to the 2020 election to try to smear Biden. You could feel Biden’s compassion in the voice-mail. The right just doesn’t understand what that is or thinks it’s a weakness.
Can confirm. Grew up in a conservative household. Fathers showing empathy to their children was a completely foreign concept.
In some ways I’m still fucked up for life from that. So many healthy perspectives and behaviors that will simply never come naturally to me. The formative years of cognitive development are important.
My parents have learned a lot since then, so even though it was really hard for me to forgive them and took many years, they’re still in my life and I’m grateful for them. But to this day I’m still unable to talk about my feelings or really even anything remotely important with them. It’s just basic pleasantries and simple observations, and even then I have to be really careful and overthink how I phrase it, still walking in eggshells to keep the peace. And yes, that is a drastic improvement over how it used to be.
I thought he was implying that going to another location would drastically increase his chances of conditions incompatible with existence.
“I very much wanted to be with my family but I was told all the attendees would be 18 and over”
Weird that the non-war that’s now past the sixty day limit without congressional approval is still taking up his time.
We were on a break!
It’s the Kobayashi-Marriage scenario.
I mean I guess he kinda is in a no-win situation, on the other hand it’s a no-win situation of his own making. He chose to go in on Iran, now he can suffer the consequences of that.
Nah, iran will be done right after the wedding is over, this wasn’t a distraction from Epstein, it was a ruse to get out of the wedding.
Coke prices fell on the news.
"While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the president wrote Friday on Truth Social.
