Trump Jr. is set to marry model-socialite Bettina Anderson this weekend in the Bahamas, but it doesn’t look like his dad will be in attendance based on what he told reporters on Thursday.
Spoiler alert: If you’re looking for enthusiasm, you’ve come to the wrong place.
“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,” Trump said. “I said, you know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.”
He added that if he does attend, “I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed. By the fake news, of course.”
The president’s waffling over whether he’ll attend his son’s wedding inspired a tizzy on social media among people who couldn’t believe he’d miss an important family event.
Donald Trump Jr. had not commented on his Dad’s inability to commit to attending his wedding as of Thursday evening.
