Donald Trump Jr. is marrying Bettina Anderson in a small private ceremony on an island in the Bahamas. CNN reported that Trump will not attend, consistent with Trump’s response when asked in the Oval Office. Trump said his son would like him to go, but the event would be a small private affair and he would try to make it. He added that he was in the midst of other matters, including Iran, and said that was something he could not win on. CNN hosts reacted by questioning whether Trump would skip the wedding and discussing the optics of missing it.
"So, speaking of interesting timing, the President was asked today if he plans to attend his son, Donald Trump Jr.'s, upcoming wedding to Florida socialite and model Bettina Anderson, I think, am I pronouncing that right? Bettina Anderson. Here's his response. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Your son's wedding this weekend, by the way? TRUMP: He'd like me to go, but it's going to be just a small little private affair, and I'm going to 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. That's one I can't win on. (END VIDEO CLIP)"
"TAPPER: Alyssa, is he really going to skip Don Jr.'s wedding? GRIFFIN: You got to go, Mr. President. Please go to your son's wedding. I'm certain he will go. I think the optics of missing it would be terrible. And I actually think that clip goes on to him say, I've known him for a very long time. That is his child, of course. (LAUGHTER) TAPPER: That's true. Fact check, true! He has kno Donald Trump has known Donald Trump Jr. for a very AVLON: Very long time. GRIFFIN: But I wish the happy couple their best. But, yes, the President"
"The president's oldest son is marrying Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson in a small ceremony on an island in the Bahamas this weekend but insiders told CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene that Trump will not be there. That's entirely consistent with the response Trump gave when he was asked about the wedding in the Oval Office on Thursday."
