On Thursday, the US president admitted that Donald Trump Jr. may skip their wedding. It takes place in the Bahamas during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
“He wants me to leave, but it’s just going to be a small, private matter, and I’m going to try to do that,” Trump said in a decidedly reluctant tone. He told a journalist meeting In the Oval Office.

Asked recently if the economic impact of the Iran war motivated him to reach a deal, he replied: “I’m not thinking about the financial situation of Americans.”
But as millions of Americans feel the pain of rising gas prices and food prices, even the president seems to understand that partying the night away in the Bahamas can be a bad look.
“This is something I can’t win,” Trump thought. “If I join, I’ll be killed. If I don’t, of course I’ll be killed because of the fake news I mentioned. No, but he has a person I’ve known for a very long time and I hope they have a great marriage.”
Nobody’s keeping score, but Trump was there for his daughter Ivanka’s wedding to Jared Kushner At Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, in 2009. “Ivanka and Jared’s wedding was amazing and they make such a beautiful couple.” he wrote What was Twitter then? “I am a very proud father.”
