Trump Says He Will Try for Bettina Anderson Bahamas Wedding
Donald Trump said he may not attend his eldest son’s wedding to bettina anderson this weekend in the Bahamas, telling reporters on Thursday that the timing is not good because of Iran and other things in his schedule. The president said he would try to make the small private affair, but he signaled that his presence is far from certain.

Trump said, “Ughhh, 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.” He added, “I said: ‘You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.’”
Don Jr. is set to wed Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas this weekend. The ceremony was delayed earlier this year after the pair reportedly wanted to wait until the war in Iran was over.
Bettina Anderson and Don Jr.
Bettina Anderson, a Palm Beach socialite and Columbia graduate from a wealthy Florida family, was first linked to Don Jr. in 2024. Paparazzi photographed Anderson and Don Jr. together while he was still publicly tied to Kimberly Guilfoyle, whose long engagement to Don Jr. collapsed.
Trump also framed his possible absence as a no-win public moment. “That’s one I can’t win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed—by the fake news, of course, I’m talking about… Hopefully they’re gonna have a great marriage.”
Kimberly Guilfoyle in Greece
Kimberly Guilfoyle is now the president’s ambassador in Greece, adding another layer to a family story that has already moved through a broken engagement, a new relationship, and a delayed wedding in the Bahamas. Trump’s schedule, and his reference to Iran, leave the final attendance decision hanging over a private ceremony that was already pushed back once this year.
Trump’s comments on Thursday leave the immediate question focused on his appearance at the Bahamas event, not on the wedding itself. For the family, the next public signal will come only if the president turns up for the small affair or stays away while Don Jr. and Bettina Anderson marry this weekend.
