“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.

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.
Can confirm. Grew up in a conservative household. Fathers showing empathy to their children was a completely foreign concept.
In some ways I'm still fucked up for life from that. So many healthy perspectives and behaviors that will simply never come naturally to me. The formative years of cognitive development are important.
My parents have learned a lot since then, so even though it was really hard for me to forgive them and took many years, they're still in my life and I'm grateful for them. But to this day I'm still unable to talk about my feelings or really even anything remotely important to me with them. It's just basic pleasantries and simple observations, and even then I have to be really careful and overthink how I phrase it, still walking in eggshells to keep the peace. And yes, that is a drastic improvement over how it used to be.

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

100% chance he goes golfing this weekend.
Those golf courses aren't going to play themselves
He has time to golf but not time for his child's wedding.
Thats what i dont get.
Fly in on the big chopper, someone says "i do", and he flies off again. Less time than it takes him to take a shit.
He's making a bigger deal out of it by not attending.
That's a good point: at first glance it sounds like a big deal because it's "international travel," but the Bahamas are basically right next to mar-a-lago anyway so (depending exactly which island the wedding is on) it probably actually is within chopper distance.
He's the commander in chief and has access to Marine One and the entire Navy. This is not a logistics problem.

He’s making it about himself. He gets off on that.
Not the sort of child wedding that interests him.

LoL. Only Trump can find his douchebag son's wedding a no-win. Christian values yo.
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!

The party of family values, people
I take comfort and occasional joy at the knowledge that these people are small and miserable.
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.
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
“If I do attend, I get killed.
I think he meant that literally.
More reasons to go.
How easy would have been to spin it as "I'll risk everybody by being there".
There is not a single cell in his disgusting body that would even remotely contemplate that.
What about Biden? He's not going to Don Jr's wedding either. Why isnt the media reporting on that?
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.
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.
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.

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.
He did not get awarded a nobel peace prize.
Sure enough he'll get the dad of the year award instead
FIFA dad of the week award
“I very much wanted to be with my family but I was told all the attendees would be 18 and over”
It's nice to know that he cares as much for us as he does his own son.... kinda touching really.
Such a burn. You know the bride was all excited to have a White House wedding, and they had to tell her that the optics would be bad. But at least the President will be at her wedding, and she'll be able to tell her children and grandchildren about it, right? Nah, he's got better things to do. Does he even know her name? Or is she just "the new one?"
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.
Won't matter. He's invincible. Shit just rolls off him and onto the Democrats. This is the media's doing.
"in and out four days"
For not four.
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 the Kobayashi-Marriage scenario.
The Kobayashi-I do
Is bettina a smurf name for a prediction market addict?
Ivanka already had RSVP'd with her Plus One, anyways (and it wasn't him!!!)
He’s been to weddings before. They’re boring.
