You'd think a father would want to be at his son's wedding. Not Donald Trump, Sr., and the reason isn't what he says it is

 So, today (I think), Donald Trump, Jr. is finally remarrying. He'll tie the knot with Bettina Anderson, his partner of about a year or two, after he'd split with Kim Guilfoyle.

Surprisingly, his father, the president, isn't attending, claiming that governmental responsibilities require his attention.

Right, and he's got a bridge to sell if you believe that story.

No, the elder Trump knows that his presence will distract from the nuptials, and, to his credit for once, because he is such a polarizing figure, he wants Junior to enjoy his big day without him. If he can keep the press, especially the tabloid media, away from the wedding, so much the better.

Meanwhile, on Friday, Tulsi Gabbard resigned from her post as the director of national intelligence to spend more time with her husband, who has been diagnosed with cancer. Our prayers are with Tulsi & her husband at this time.

Unfortunately, Trump had to get one last dig in on Stephen Colbert to throw cold water on the series finale of The Late Show on Thursday night, using the same childish insults he's used on Colbert in the past. Colbert, in turn, appeared on a public access program on Friday for a mock "comeback". Trump is also whining about a video released by NY Governor Kathy Hochul, and featuring Alec Baldwin resurrecting his Trump mimic from Saturday Night Live. Apparently, SNL's current Trump, James Austin Johnson, went on vacation after SNL ended its season last week, and was unavailable.

If Trump needs immediate surgery for anything, it's to reinstall a funny bone.
