Jimmy Kimmel presented a show-stopping theory as to why he thinks President Donald Trump couldn't attend his eldest son's wedding last weekend.
The Wedding Details
“Donald Trump Jr. and his new bride, Bettina, were married on Saturday on a private island in the Bahamas. It was a small ceremony with about 40 guests, none of whom were his father,” Kimmel said.
Trump's Excuse
Trump’s excuse for not attending the wedding was the ongoing negotiations to extend the ceasefire with Iran. “While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so. I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Friday.
Kimmel's Alternative Theory
Kimmel then provided an alternative reason. “He had circumstances pertaining to government to get to, and also flying to a private island makes him miss his friend Jeffrey, who he lost,” Kimmel said, referring to Trump’s past friendship with the notorious sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
