Donald Trump missing Jr wedding, Not going to New Jersey in the weekend , Bombing?

If Trump was already planning to be in the NY/NJ area for the weekend (Bedminster is usually his go-to stop), why cancel the entire NJ trip instead of just making a short appearance at Don Jr.’s wedding?

That’s the part that feels worth asking about. This wasn’t just “missed a ceremony and moved on.” The wedding, the Bedminster stay, and the usual weekend routine in New Jersey all got dropped at the same time.

The timeline people are pointing to is pretty specific:

* He says he’ll “try to make it” to the wedding
* He brings up “I have a thing called Iran” when asked about timing
* The White House then frames it as him needing to stay in DC during an “important period of time”
* And the Bedminster weekend plan disappears alongside it

So the question isn’t really about the wedding itself it’s why the entire NJ schedule changed. If the issue was purely timing or travel, Bedminster is literally the closest and easiest place to be. So why does the whole trip get scrapped at the same time the wedding is skipped? That’s what people are trying to understand.
