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.
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.
