President Donald Trump has put up multiple excuses for not being able to attend his eldest son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding in the Bahamas — and the explanation he settled on was that it is “not good timing” with all his responsibilities and with Memorial Day coming up.
But according to an analysis by The Daily Beast, Trump has taken time to golf extensively during similarly busy and high-stakes moments of his presidency.
“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,” said the report. “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.”
This downtime, the report continued, “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.”
All told, according to the report, Trump has taken golf trips 14 times just since the Iran war started.
A recent Page Six report indicated Trump Jr. and his fiancée, model Bettina Anderson, are in a “hurry to get hitched.”
