Donald Trump will not attend his eldest son’s wedding, reportedly taking place in the Bahamas this weekend.

After telling reporters Thursday he was going to “try to make” the intimate ceremony between Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson, but that it was “not good timing” because of the Iran war, Trump confirmed he won’t attend.

“He’d like me to go,” Trump said. “I said, ‘You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.’”

“That’s one I can’t win on,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked if he planned to attend his eldest son’s wedding. “If I do attend, I get killed. If I don’t attend, I get killed by the fake news, of course.”

Nearly 12 weeks into the Iran war, Trump is facing record-low approval ratings amid the public’s growing discontent over the high cost of gasoline, groceries and other everyday expenses – all impacted by the president’s war in the Middle East.

I have a thing called Iran and other things.’”

“That’s one I can’t win on,”

Not sure of the timing of those two statements, but reading them right after the other had me nodding my head.

The Qlown can cut and run from his war of choice and I suppose oil may drift downwards. And I'm sure a lot of idiots will forget and/or forgive him for it come the midterms.

But yeah, I'm not sure how he's going to "win" the Iran thing. It's not like that Venezuela kidnapping thing or however he imagines Cuba is going to go. Same with stealing Greenland. Those last two are probably going to go badly, too, but Iran has proven to be an absolute clusterfuck for him so far.
