Donald Trump: 'Not A Good Time' — Might Skip Son's Wedding Over Iran War, Blames Media
Synopsis
Donald Trump has hinted that he might not be able to attend his son's wedding. He says he's busy with the Iran crisis and other national security issues. He also took a shot at the media, saying, 'This is a situation I can never win. Whether I attend the wedding or not, they will blame me.'
Former US President Donald Trump has indicated that he might have to give his son's wedding a miss. The reason? He says he's caught up with "very serious national security issues," including the war in Iran and ongoing peace talks.
However, Trump added that he would try his best to be there for his son. "He really wants me to be at the wedding. It's a small, private ceremony. I will try my best to attend. But with the crisis in Iran, this is not a good time to attend a wedding. I wish them a great married life," Trump told reporters.
Trump also hit out at the media, saying he knew exactly how they would portray the situation if he attended the wedding during a crisis. "This is a no-win situation. They will blame me whether I go or not. The fake news media will do this. The media will hunt me down no matter what stand I take," he complained.
The wedding is of his 48-year-old son, Donald Trump Jr., who is the Executive Vice President of the luxury real estate company, 'The Trump Organization'. The bride-to-be is Bettina Anderson.
The wedding of Donald Trump Jr. and model Bettina Anderson is scheduled for the Memorial Day weekend in the Bahamas. Interestingly, the ceremony was first planned to be held at the White House but was later moved to a private island in the Bahamas due to the tense international situation with Iran.
There's also some buzz that Trump's hesitation might be a political move. Reports suggest that attending a lavish wedding in the Bahamas while millions of Americans are facing economic problems could be a political setback for him.
