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.
