President Donald Trump won’t be at his eldest son’s wedding celebration this weekend.
In a post on Truth Social Friday. Trump wrote that he will remain at the White House “during this important period of time. ” adding that while he “very much wanted to be with” Donald Trump Jr. and the “newest member of the Trump Family. ” “circumstances pertaining to Government” and “my love for the United States of America” do not allow it.
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is marrying Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. It is Trump Jr.’s second marriage.
The New York Times reported Friday that Trump Jr. and Anderson legally wed on Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida, citing marriage records. A separate ceremony on a small island in the Bahamas is planned for this weekend, with less than 50 people on the guest list, according to CNN.
The White House sent an updated schedule Friday showing the president will stay in Washington, D.C. A previous schedule had Trump in Bedminster, New Jersey, from Friday evening through Sunday.
Trump first indicated he wouldn’t attend after a reporter asked him a question during an Oval Office event on Thursday. “He’d like me to go. but it’s going to be just a small little private affair. and I’m going to try and make it. ” Trump said. When pressed about timing, he replied, “I said: ‘You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things,’” which he described as a joke.
Trump has departed Washington, D.C., since the Iran war began for events that have ranged from rallies to golfing.
Before this wedding, Trump Jr. was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host who is now the U.S. ambassador to Greece. People reported in April that Trump favored Anderson to Guilfoyle, who was frequently featured on the campaign trail during Trump’s reelection.
Earlier this year. a source told People: “The president is happy with the way Bettina looks. and wants his son to be satisfied in his next mate.” The source added. “The Trumps were happy with [Don Jr.’s first wife] Vanessa. and also with Kim at first until she became a grandstander and attempted to put too much media and MAGA attention on herself.”.
Trump Jr. previously married Vanessa Trump, whom he divorced in 2018. Vanessa Trump currently dates professional golfer Tiger Woods. This week, Vanessa Trump revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Wait so he’s missing the wedding but still “important period of time”?? government can’t be paused for like one day.
Kinda sounds like the White House schedule is just an excuse. Like he could’ve flown to Florida then back to DC. Also the “Iran” joke thing… idk man.
Isn’t the Bahamas ceremony the one with the tiny guest list? That’s wild. I saw someone say it was like 100 people but this says less than 50 so who knows. Either way you’d think he’d at least show up for Don Jr. wedding, right?
So Trump Jr got married Thursday and Don Sr stays in DC because “government” — but Trump’s been doing rallies and golfing for weeks tho. Seems selective timing. And the Bettina thing, I’m confused, did she even come from the campaign or is this like old money vibes? People are saying different stories.
