President Donald Trump offered a cryptic excuse Friday for missing his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding later this weekend, which comes amid bubbling international tensions.
Trump confirmed he will not be attending his son’s wedding to Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, citing “circumstances pertaining to Government” without providing details.

Jr. wants a quiet wedding. No such thing if Trump is around...SS everywhere...Nice jgesture to his son by the Prsident...”It’s your day”...
I just googled her. Geez, i hope she eats a sandwich at the reception. Or maybe five and some ice cream.
STFU
One possible explanation is the something unexpected is happening in Iran.
Or Cuba
“I have a weird feeling, but have been sickly lately and it could just be that.”
*******************************************
Ahh… maybe brush up on your Spanish?
Or Greenland.
Thanks to Don Jr., his dad had to throw away the Ambassador to Greece position to Jr.’s last fiancé. I’d skip the wedding and pass on the gift.
His schedule shows he will be golfing that day.
I think that Jr. is much more of an ideologue and more principled than pops.
He was a huge “drain the swamp” guy and a huge “make them pay” guy.
He was also a “no more Middle East regime change wars” guy.
I listen to his weekly podcast and he has done exactly ONE on the war in Iran.
My guess is that they aren’t on great terms right now.
Attack Iran time? Hopefully.
I think she looks terrific.
But if you said that about me, you’d be right. Never hungry, 3:oo here and haven’t had breakfast yet. Cat did though.
Sounds about right. Besides it’s his second marriage, small, and in the Bahamas. Trump doesn’t need to be there and it would be circus if the bride and groom want an intimate ceremony. Too many resources deployed to protect POTUS for one day - by land, sea and air - for a small event.
But this part got me wondering... “He was previously in a relationship with U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, the ex-wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom”. Sounds kinda gross that Junior is bed hopping with the political class, but maybe not so odd considering he has been involved deeply with the campaigns.
Might be over for Iran
“socialite”
I used to watch “The Five” with my mom, and loved the uncomfortable interplay between Kimberly and Democrat Bob Beckel.
The deceased father of Bettina Anderson is Harry Loy Anderson Jr:
<><>He made history by becoming the youngest bank president in the United States at just 26 years old.
<><>He was married to Inger Anderson, a stunning model turned businesswoman.
<><>they raised six children, including twins Bettina and Kristina, in Palm Beach,
<><>He and his wife Inger were recognized as one of Palm Beach’s most philanthropic couples.
<><>The family lived in a Palm Beach home that formerly belonged to Lilly Pulitzer.
<><>Bettina Anderson co-founded The Paradise Fund in 2005 and is to marry Donald Trump Jr.
He goes, it’s all about him. He doesn’t go, it’s all about her.
Ditto. This isn’t Don Jr’s first wedding. Considering DJT necessary security
Bettina's mother.
