Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> presented a show-stopping theory as to why he thinks President Donald Trump<\/a> couldn\u2019t attend his eldest son\u2019s wedding last weekend. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cDJTJ and his new bride, Bettina, were married on Saturday on a private island in the Bahamas. It was a small ceremony <\/span>with about 40 guests, none of whom were his father,\u201d Kimmel said. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWhile 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!\u201d Trump wrote in a Truth Social<\/a> post on Friday. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kimmel then provided an alternative reason. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHe had circumstances pertaining to government to get to, and also flying to a private island makes him miss his friend Jeffrey, who he lost,\u201d Kimmel said, referring to Trump\u2019s past friendship with the notorious sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Watch Kimmel\u2019s opening monologue from Tuesday night\u2019s show here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jimmy Kimmel presented a show-stopping theory as to why he thinks President Donald Trump couldn\u2019t attend his eldest son\u2019s wedding last weekend. \u201cDJTJ and his new bride, Bettina, were married on Saturday on a private island in the Bahamas.
