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.
LoL. Only Trump can find his douchebag son’s wedding a no-win. Christian values yo.
“It’s not good for me” to a son’s wedding.
Spoken like a true narcissist
I’d almost feel bad for them all being raised by generations of narcissists if they weren’t all falling so willfully easily into the narcissistic hole themselves.
Those golf courses aren’t going to play themselves
“If I do attend, I get killed.
I think he meant that literally.
More reasons to go.
How easy would have been to spin it as “I’ll risk everybody by being there”.
There is not a single cell in his disgusting body that would even remotely contemplate that.
“in and out four days”
For not four.
The party of family values, people
He did not get awarded a nobel peace prize.
Sure enough he’ll get the dad of the year award instead
It’s nice to know that he cares as much for us as he does his own son… kinda touching really.
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
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.
You and me both pal.
Therapy does wonders. Im glad youve got them in your life, as difficult as it can be. Im still working on it.
I thought he was implying that going to another location would drastically increase his chances of conditions incompatible with existence.
There’s no money in it for him
Yeah, I mean he’s played golf like 44 times or something.
He has time to golf but not time for his child’s wedding.
Not the sort of child wedding that interests him.
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.
He’s the commander in chief and has access to Marine One and the entire Navy. This is not a logistics problem.
Daddy please love me. Daddy please see me. Dad won’t you love me? Dad won’t you see me? Daddy please love me! Daddy please see me! Dad won’t you love me?! DAD CANT YOU SEE ME???
Ivanka already had RSVP’d with her Plus One, anyways (and it wasn’t him!!!)
I take comfort and occasional joy at the knowledge that these people are small and miserable.
He could literally fly there for a couple hours, and fly back. I wouldn’t even be THAT upset at the cost, but at least he would resemble a human being for a change.
“I’d get killed if I do, killed if I don’t…”
So all things being equal… he’d prefer to ignore his kid and eat McDonald’s.
He’s been to weddings before. They’re boring.
Is bettina a smurf name for a prediction market addict?
