Trump says he will try and make' son's wedding, but timing is not good' for him

Trump indicated he might not attend Donald Trump Jr’s wedding, reportedly planned for the Bahamas over the Memorial Day weekend. He said he would like to go but expects it to be a small private affair and that timing is difficult because of a full in-tray and his focus on Iran. Despite the Middle East conflict, he attended other events, including a UFC event in Miami and a PGA tour championship at his Doral golf club, and he played golf multiple times. Trump Jr previously married Vanessa Haydon in 2005 at Mar-a-Lago, producing five children. He later engaged Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2020, ending the relationship in 2024, and is now engaged to Bettina Anderson, a Palm Beach socialite and model.

"Don Jr got engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2020, but ended the relationship in 2024; Guilfoyle is now the US ambassador to Greece. Don Jr's latest fiancee is Bettina Anderson, a 39-year-old socialite and model from a prominent banking family in Palm Beach. They made their debut public appearance as a couple at Trump's inauguration in January last year. But it does not appear they were tempted to follow the example of Tricia Nixon, daughter of Richard Nixon, who married in the White House Rose Garden in 1971."

"As for Trump, he has been losing his political touch in recent weeks. Opinion polls show his approval rating at an all-time low. Asked recently if the economic impact of the Iran war was motivating him to reach a deal, he proclaimed: I don't th"
