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.

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.

I used to watch “The Five” with my mom, and loved the uncomfortable interplay between Kimberly and Democrat Bob Beckel.

He goes, it’s all about him. He doesn’t go, it’s all about her.
