It’s very, very far from the worst thing that Trump has done in office, needless to say, but it’s a another window into his bleak narcissism just the same:

President Donald Trump on Friday said he won’t attend the wedding this weekend of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., to socialite Bettina Anderson.

The president had suggested on Thursday that he would not be able to be at the wedding, which reportedly will be held in the Bahamas, because of his focus on the conflict with Iran and other issues.

“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,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time,” Trump wrote. “Congratulations to Don and Bettina. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

TMZ reported Friday that Trump Jr. and Anderson had legally married on Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida, the town where the president’s Mar-a-Lago club is located. TMZ cited a marriage certificate, which it posted online.

In fairness, it’s not like there’s any available technology that would enable the President of the United States to put in his 45-minute workday from any location but the White House.
