Trump says he will miss son's wedding to stay in DC during 'important time'
Source: The Guardian
Get Me to the Church on Time, sang Alfred Doolittle in the musical My Fair Lady. But for Donald Trump, attending a wedding is not simple even when its that of his son.
The US president will not attend Donald Trump Jrs nuptials, he confirmed on Friday, blaming circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America.
Offering the couple his congratulations, he wrote on his Truth Social platform: I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.

His excuse? A full in-tray, notably his war of choice in Iran. Im in the midst I said: You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.

(19,766 posts)Don't get me wrong, I understand why no sane person would want him at one's wedding and perhaps Coke Jr did indeed have such a moment of clarity -- but he is an abject worm, not a brave lion.
Maybe they told The Dotard that there weren't going to be any video cameras and/or speeches, as a disincentive.
Or maybe The Dotard is trying to flex/assert dominance by declining for no good reason.

He can't tolerate not being in the spotlight. Or else he just wasn't invited. Interesting that the wedding's not being held at Mar-a-Lago. Am I the only one who noticed that?

Since this is Jr's 2nd marriage it is no big deal and him going will be a logistic nightmare
He is planning on bombing Iran
He is planning on invading Cuba
I suspect he is moving on Iran. Reports are that the pizza place near the Pentagon are doing a much higher volume of business than normal.

(2,633 posts)that perhaps he needs the safety to be in DC at this point, considering his health.......
maybe he needs to be close to really serious medical help, the medical people that are knowledgeable about his conditions, and the ability to cover it all up from everyone........................
