Those golf courses aren't going to play themselves
"in and out four days"
He did not get awarded a nobel peace prize.
Sure enough he'll get the dad of the year award instead
The party of family values, people
It's nice to know that he cares as much for us as he does his own son.... kinda touching really.
Ivanka already had RSVP'd with her Plus One, anyways (and it wasn't him!!!)
Is bettina a smurf name for a prediction market addict?
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
He probably has to stay close to the white house for medical reasons.
Reminds me of when they released that voice-mail in the run up to the 2020 election to try to smear Biden. You could feel Biden's compassion in the voice-mail. The right just doesn't understand what that is or thinks it's a weakness.
I thought he was implying that going to another location would drastically increase his chances of conditions incompatible with existence.
There's no money in it for him
Yeah, I mean he's played golf like 44 times or something.
He’s been to weddings before. They’re boring.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon...
He could literally fly there for a couple hours, and fly back. I wouldn't even be THAT upset at the cost, but at least he would resemble a human being for a change.
“I’d get killed if I do, killed if I don’t…”
So all things being equal… he’d prefer to ignore his kid and eat McDonald’s.
I take comfort and occasional joy at the knowledge that these people are small and miserable.
Weird that the non-war that’s now past the sixty day limit without congressional approval is still taking up his time.
We were on a break!
He's probably mostly uninterested in anything Iran and will probably spend more time talking about that stupid fucking ballroom.
“I very much wanted to be with my family but I was told all the attendees would be 18 and over”
Translation: I'm getting infusions and other top-tier medical care at the moment sorry, still recovering from China
right? If he could go to China he could sure attend his son's wedding? It appears there's been a decline in health recently
i'm so sad
Aw, don't be sad. It's possible that he has a stroke and dies in a really funny circumstance, like falling down an up escalator.
I mean I guess he kinda is in a no-win situation, on the other hand it's a no-win situation of his own making. He chose to go in on Iran, now he can suffer the consequences of that.
Even with the war, he would get a pass from the majority of the public for going to his kids wedding.
Although, now that he said he was going to skip, and he referred to his first born son as “someone he’s known for a long time,” he’s going to get roasted either way.
The no-win situation was caused by his inability to show affection to anyone other than himself.
Nah, iran will be done right after the wedding is over, this wasn't a distraction from Epstein, it was a ruse to get out of the wedding.
It's the Kobayashi-Marriage scenario.
I have a thing called Iran and other things.’”
“That’s one I can’t win on,”
Not sure of the timing of those two statements, but reading them right after the other had me nodding my head.
The Qlown can cut and run from his war of choice and I suppose oil may drift downwards. And I'm sure a lot of idiots will forget and/or forgive him for it come the midterms.
But yeah, I'm not sure how he's going to "win" the Iran thing. It's not like that Venezuela kidnapping thing or however he imagines Cuba is going to go. Same with stealing Greenland. Those last two are probably going to go badly, too, but Iran has proven to be an absolute clusterfuck for him so far.
"While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” the president wrote Friday on Truth Social.
I could do my son's wedding, but, unfortunately, the only way to make that about me, is to proclaim I can't attend, to the whole United States of the World! Also, I'm running out of commas again, somehow, and have to go get more.
So, how much you wanna bet he wasn't actually invited?
Coke prices fell on the news.
