If YOUR son were getting married . . . even if for the second time . . . would you attend the wedding? [View all]

In the Oval Office, today, midday. Trump was asked by a reporter if he plans to attend Don Jr.’s wedding to Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson this weekend. Here is the father of the groom's full response:

Uh, he’d like me to go, but it’s gonna be just a small, little, private affair, and I’m gonna try and make it. I’m in the midst—I said, “You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.” Uh, that’s one I can’t win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed by the fake news, of course, I’m talking about. No, but he’s, uh, got a very, uh, person who I’ve known for a long time, and hopefully they’re going to have a great marriage.


TRANSLATION: "This wedding is on the weekend. I'll be playing golf during the day and rage-tweeting all night."
