Donald Trump has confirmed he will not attend his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding to Bettina Anderson, reportedly taking place in the Bahamas this weekend. The former president initially told reporters he would 'try to make' the intimate ceremony but later cited the ongoing conflict with Iran as a reason for his absence, with sources confirming he would skip the event entirely.
Trump's 'No-Win' Situation
Speaking to reporters, Trump described the wedding as a 'no-win' situation for him, claiming that 'fake news' would criticise him regardless of whether he attended or not. He also suggested his absence would help maintain the privacy of the small ceremony, which is expected to host fewer than 50 guests.
Weekend Plans in Bedminster
Instead of travelling to the Bahamas, Trump's weekend schedule indicates he will remain at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. This will be Donald Trump Jr.'s second marriage and third engagement, with the wedding planned as a private affair.
The decision to skip his son's wedding comes amid heightened tensions with Iran, though Trump did not elaborate on how the conflict directly affected his travel plans. Critics have speculated that the real reason may be related to ongoing legal challenges or campaign obligations.
