Trump’s Too Busy for Don Jr.’s Wedding—But Not Too Busy for Golf
CARTS OVER KIDS
An analysis of the president’s golfing and travel shows that he has spent the majority of his weekends outside Washington, but he could not leave the capital to attend his son’s wedding.

Trump says he is too busy to attend his eldest son’s wedding—but the demands of the presidency have not kept him off the golf course.

Despite hitting the links at least 14 times since going to war with Iran, according to online trackers and a Daily Beast analysis, Trump said his son’s Memorial Day weekend wedding was “not good timing” for him and that he needs to be in Washington.

That claim did not align with the president’s initial public schedule for the weekend, which said he planned to travel to his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey. However, Axios reported later on Friday that Trump will now stay in Washington after scrambling to fix the schedule.

Staying in Washington is inconsistent with how Trump has spent many of his weekends this spring, during which he has frequently jetted out of town despite the war.

That includes the weekends beginning March 7, March 13, March 21, March 28, April 24, and May 2. He was in China for a state visit in mid-May, but he headed for his Virginia golf club upon returning to Washington. He even skipped a “Rededicate 250” faith event on the National Mall that same weekend for a day at the golf club—though he appeared at the event virtually.

1. Maybe if the wedding cake had been made

in his likeness, he might have shown up?

2. Maybe he's hiding more health problems - doesn't want to be seen in public.

3. He's an authoritarian.

He will not elevate anyone around him that he thinks could replace him. That is not in his mindset. He will continue putting everyone around him against each other.

4. Does this make her a golf widow-in-law ? nt

1. because...
GOLF!

So, the only change is that he'll be golfing in Virginia rather than New Jersey. No diff.
