The president’s oldest son, Donald Trump, Jr., is getting married this coming weekend to South Florida socialite Bettina Anderson, in what will be Don Jr.’s second marriage. The ceremony is reportedly taking place in the Bahamas.
On Thursday, reporters asked the president whether he plans to attend his son’s nuptials, and his answer was very surprising.
According to the New York Post, the president said he would “try” to attend the ceremony.
“He’d like me to go, but it’s going to be just a small little private affair, and I’m going to try and make it,” the elder Trump told reporters.

“This is not good timing for me,” the president said. “Everything called Iran and other things… that’s one I can’t win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed.”
Reporter: 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. pic.twitter.com/lGdjvU7oD0

Trump also bizarrely described his own son as “a person I’ve known for a long time.”
