Trump says he'll 'try' to attend son's wedding, calls him 'a person I've known for a long time'

cultureMay 21, 2026405,275

At a press exchange, former President Donald Trump said he will "try" to attend Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding but added "this is not good timing for me." He told reporters he has "a thing called Iran and other things," citing foreign-policy obligations as the scheduling conflict. He also called his son "a person I've known for a long time," an unusually impersonal phrasing that underscores the tension between private family events and public responsibilities.

new conspiracy theory: Trump started the war to get out of going to his son's wedding

this whole thing is just a spiralling disaster from when he launched the strikes to have an excuse to go to the situation room and avoid talking with J.D. Vance about how the Odyssey movie was woke.

The great thing about missing a Trump family wedding is that the groom is guaranteed to have like three more of them anyway.

Sorry son, I have this little thing called "golf".

Is there no concern for the man behind him about to give birth. His belly button is screaming for help...

Maybe he could send our Ambassador to Greece to represent him instead.

I like that he says, "He'd like me to go," and doesn't come anywhere close to saying, "I'd like to go." 😂

I have a thing called ballroom

Ugly Convention9

One tiny mitigating factor in this shit show is getting to enjoy how much DJT hates DTJ, and how he humiliates him at every opportunity.

Ricky Wicketts7

He's sending Witkoff and Kushner in his place

That's so weird because he's played golf every Saturday (except two) since he started the war didtrumpgolftoday.com

Richard Bairwell7

Attending an event where he isn't the centre of attention? Of course he doesn't want to go.

which son is even getting married??

Follow-up: "were you invited to the wedding?"

On this date in history: First man to give birth does it live in the Oval Office. Trump stood silent.

he went to a WWE match during the war but can’t go to son’s wedding because of the war. go figure.!

100% he plays golf this weekend instead. 100%.

Or, another possibility, he wasn't invited to his son's wedding! He did say it was "very small," like maybe they didn't want some loudmouth who was always putting his son down ruining the festivities.

Just go. You can do less harm to the world.

Still wonder what the payout was to Guilfoyle. Had to be more than an ambassadorship.

I can’t stop staring at that guys belly button.

What are the odds that he plays golf instead?

Donald Trump on his son Don, Jr., who is just about to get married: "He’s a person I’ve known for a long time." I'm not crying—you're crying!—at such touching, personal sentimentality. #Sociopaths

He even knew the boy’s mother for several seconds…

Tom Delacroix21

The use of "He's a person I've known for a long time" in regards to a relative, spouse etc, is pure dementia speak.

If you asked Trump right now to name all 5 of his children, he couldn’t do it.

A very small part of me feels sorry for his kids because they were doomed from the start in terms of any kind of proper love or guidance. I still hate them😆, but I know what it’s like to grow up with people like him and they suck all the air out of a room every time they’re in one.

Jr. "You know what dad, I attended all of your wedding..."

I'm sure Trump knows his son at least as long as he has been working for the company.

“… he’s said nice things about me.“

😂 No empathy for them. They deserve eachother.

Josephine Imperato3

He's known his son for a long time, but has he ever loved him? Probably not as he's incapable of feeling.

Tony D3

Is this the same son that Donold yelled at and humiliated in his dorm room because he was not dressed in a suit to attend a Yankees game when he arrived to pick him up?

mungonna8.bsky.social3

Donny's relationship with reality has become fleeting

Taco is incapable of human feelings. Perhaps one of the most extreme cases of narcissistic personality disorder.

A Word2

where is his bloody doctor???? he's so off the deep end drowning in confusion and his dr, family & GOP are doing nothing????

SLOW LEARNER 🇨🇦2

But would he say the same about Eric or Tiffany?

Tangerinehair9362

Remember when he called Baron, Melania's child? He abandons them all.

God. How sad, for both of them.

Q: Are you attending your son’s wedding? Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.

Q: "Are you attending your son's wedding this weekend?" Trump: "Uhhh, he'd like me to go, but it's going to be just a small, little, private affair. I'm gonna try and make it. I said, 'This is not good timing for me.'"
