i’m uneasy that President T is missing other engagements, including his son’s wedding, staying pretty quiet in D.C. :-|
Praying for resolution.
It was of course Donald Trump Jr’s second wedding after divorcing his first wife and a long relationship and engagement with Kimberly Guilfoyle. Somehow Trump missing Jr’s wedding with his current woman doesn’t feel like that big of a deal.
It was also held in the Bahamas, and a President going to another country is a big deal. I remain mystified why the wedding couldn't be held at, I dunno, Mar-A-Lago, which I hear is a very nice, big, beautiful resort, or at a ballroom somewhere in DC.

(Note that he is not getting married to Guilfoyle.)

i don’t keep up with the elites’ romances+marriages+divorces.

i’m worried about T tho.
He’s got a big burden now, regardless of fault, regardless of outward appearances+chatter.
i don’t believe he’s taking it lightly, esp potential loss of life, regardless of “sides”.

“It’s lonely at the top.” Not everyone is willing to attempt it. i would not.

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

I read that the Bahamas doesn't allow felons to visit.

There's some internal fuss about it, but it appears Iran may reopen Internet access in the country tomorrow.

Talks progress, but no peace deal is imminent.

Do you think that is accurate? It would have taken less than a minute for you to have been able to verify the Bahamas don't generally even ask about criminal history on standard entry forms for tourist visits.
Don't you, as a professing Christian, have an obligation to speak truth rather than spread lies?

DuckDuckGo's SearchAssist AI says,
The Bahamas does not allow entry to adjudicated rapists from the United States.
Other fact-check sources do not confirm this.

Another list that showed 34 countries that ban the visits of felons did not include the Bahamas.
I also note that nations can choose to waive this ban.

So I don't know if it is true or not. I think I was accurate in writing, "I read that..." It's only a widely held conjecture, as far as I know.

How is that relevant to Trump taking a personal visit to the Bahamas?
