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 <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cSee, he can be warm when he wants to,\u201d Kimmel replied. \u201cHe loves Don Jr. He just loves the United States more. He 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<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tHe added, \u201cThis is a guy who golfs two, three times a week. He\u2019s going to UFC fights with Vanilla Ice. He was too busy for his son\u2019s wedding. But he did say Don and Bettina are going to have a great marriage. And this is a man who knows a great marriage. He\u2019s had three of them himself. Poor Don Jr. Without his father they had to scramble to find somebody else to make a 90-minute toast about windmills and transgender weightlifters.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tKimmel noted that Don Jr. and his new bride are reportedly still planning to celebrate their marriage at the White House. That celebrate would be attended by Trump and Melania Trump. \u201cWell, you\u2019d hope so,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cThey live there. Can you imagine if they didn\u2019t show up to that one too? \u2018We wanted to make it, but we were unable to go downstairs.&#8217;\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;This is a man who knows a great marriage,&#8221; the host quipped. &#8220;He&#8217;s had three of them himself&#8221;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[12,10670,88,17114,11575,11448,92],"class_list":["post-668173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-donald-trump","tag-donald-trump-jr","tag-entertainment","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","tag-late-night-tv","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
