Donald Trump will not attend his eldest son’s wedding, reportedly taking place in the Bahamas this weekend.

After telling reporters Thursday he was going to “try to make” the intimate ceremony between Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson, but that it was “not good timing” because of the Iran war, Trump confirmed he won’t attend.

“He’d like me to go,” Trump said. “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,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked if he planned to attend his eldest son’s wedding. “If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed by the fake news, of course.”

Nearly 12 weeks into the Iran war, Trump is facing record-low approval ratings amid the public’s growing discontent over the high cost of gasoline, groceries and other everyday expenses – all impacted by the president’s war in the Middle East.

    Won’t matter. He’s invincible. Shit just rolls off him and onto the Democrats. This is the media’s doing.

    If it’s a no-win either way, why not do the honorable thing and go to your son’s wedding… nevermind I forgot who we were talking about

    i really enjoy his reason for why he doesn’t want to go. i hope he maintains that level of trepidation for the rest of his life. for our morale.

    i think trump should build a bunker and just stay in it until he dies of whatever festering STD, dementia, or other health ailment he earned. for security.

    “It’s not good for me” to a son’s wedding.

    Spoken like a true narcissist

    I’d almost feel bad for them all being raised by generations of narcissists if they weren’t all falling so willfully easily into the narcissistic hole themselves.

    He did not get awarded a nobel peace prize.

    Sure enough he’ll get the dad of the year award instead

    Of all the things the buffoon does that he rightly gets killed for, taking time off to go to his son’s wedding isn’t one of them.

    It’s way worse that you’re skipping it bud

    It’s nice to know that he cares as much for us as he does his own son… kinda touching really.

    Weird that the non-war that’s now past the sixty day limit without congressional approval is still taking up his time.
