Donald Trump Hit Up Two Bedminster Weddings
In the days leading up to the big event, the former president contacted Doug Band, a top member of the Clinton Foundation, to confirm his invite.
Politico reported that Joe Conason, who wrote “Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton” that Trump told him “I’m supposed to be at the wedding, Doug” and demanded to know where the venue was.
He wasn’t told, so he then called a second Clinton staffer to get the info, to no avail. Who doesn’t love a wedding?

It’s fair to say that Donald Trump is the main character in any room, and this proved true at John and Megan Arrigo’s March 2021 at Mar-a-Lago.
Not only did he make an appearance, he took the opportunity to diss Joe Biden, after refusing to concede his loss in the 2020 US Presidential election.
Then there was Kristen and Tucker Gladhill’s wedding reception in 2017. When Trump got wind of the big event, he popped in after 10 PM to cheers of “USA! USA! USA!” The bride said it was “an honor to have the person who’s running the free world come show up at our wedding.”
In 2019 Trump had a grand time crashing another wedding at his NJ golf club. He was chuffed to find out that bride Nicole Marie and husband PJ Mongelli chose a décor of American flags and gave specially-made Trump Dollars to their guests. He was made for this!
