These days, US President Donald Trump seems to be surrounded by a very strange and sensitive family and political crisis. On one hand, the White House is working round the clock to end the ongoing war and tension between America and Iran on the global stage, while on the other hand, the President’s elder son Donald Trump Jr. is going to get married this weekend. President Trump has made it clear that being a father, he will try his best to be a part of his son’s happiness, but he also confessed in the Oval Office that the ‘timing’ of this high-profile wedding is absolutely wrong for him amidst this serious atmosphere of Iran war. ‘Secret and private’ wedding to be held in Bahamas, Trump expressed inability! According to reports coming from the corridors of American media, 48-year-old Donald Trump Jr. is going to marry Bettina Anderson in the beautiful Caribbean island Bahamas. This is Don Jr.’s second marriage. President Trump confirmed the marriage during an informal conversation with reporters in the Oval Office of the White House. He said, "Don Jr. sincerely wants me to attend his wedding. This is going to be a very small, family and completely private event. I will give my 100 percent effort to reach there." However, Trump also revealed that he has already explained to his son that considering the current situation in the country, this time is not at all right for such an event, because his entire focus is currently on the Iran crisis and other national security issues.
"Even if I go, there will be criticism, even if I don’t go…"The fear of the media is troubling Trump, the midterm elections to be held in America in November are very close. In such a situation, this unpopular war going on with Iran is taking a toll on President Trump’s political credibility and approval ratings. Along with this, anger against the government can be clearly seen among the voters regarding the rising inflation in America. Trump is fully aware of the sharp reactions from the American media for attending a luxury and foreign destination wedding amidst this delicate and challenging political environment. Expressing his helplessness, President Trump said:
"This has become a situation where my defeat is certain. No matter what decision I take, I am stuck. If I leave the country to attend this lavish wedding, the media will criticize me that the President is taking a holiday during a war. And even if I step back from my duty of being a father and do not go into marriage, this ‘fake news’ media will leave no stone unturned to destroy me by creating stories of family discord."
However, despite all these political complications, President Trump has given many good wishes to his son and future daughter-in-law for their new and happy married life. From real estate to politics, Don Junior is the true heir of his father. Trump’s elder son, known worldwide as ‘Don Junior’, completely follows his father’s footsteps not only in appearance but also in his attitude. He is handling the responsibility of Executive Vice President in his family empire ‘The Trump Organization’. Additionally, he is considered to be the most vocal, aggressive, and strong crusader for his father’s far-right ‘MAGA’ (Make America Great Again) agenda in American politics. From political rallies to White House strategy meetings, Don Jr. is often seen standing like a shadow beside President Trump. Recently both were also seen returning to the White House together from the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Will Don Jr. be a presidential candidate in 2029? The discussion in American political circles has become very intense now that Don Jr. is preparing to officially take over his father’s political legacy very soon. Last year itself, he had clearly indicated in an interview that he could contest the US presidential election ‘any time in the future’. It is worth noting that according to the US Constitution, this second and last term of President Trump will end in January 2029, and the Republican Party has not yet officially announced its next face after Trump. In such a situation, it is believed that after this marriage, Don Jr. can fully enter active politics and establish himself as the next successor of the Republican Party.
