Donald Trump prides himself on his exemplary oratory skills. However, he needs to brush up on his wedding speeches. According to Page Six, Donald gave a less-than-stellar performance at his friends Jarod and Alexa Malnik’s wedding rehearsal dinner at Mar-a-Lago in March 2024. He did manage to squeeze some boasting in, though. “Nobody gets divorced ever when they get married at Mar-a-Lago,” Donald announced. “People, 20 years later, say it’s the greatest marriage ever.” The crowd erupted in cheers and chanted Donald’s name, apparently.
Fact check: Donald Trump Jr. is one of (two) family members who married at Mar-a-Lago and subsequently divorced. Don Jr. wed Vanessa Haydon in November 2005, and in a throwback to more harmonious times, Donald’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, officiated. Joan Collins, Sophie Dahl, Brittny Gastineau, and Don Jr.’s mom, Ivana Trump, were among the estimated 370 guests.
The couple welcomed five kids, Kai, Donald John III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. However, the marriage went south after “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Aubrey O’Day claimed she had a steamy affair with Don Jr. “I love him. Love, loved, love,” O’Day told Page Six in December 2022. “I’ll always have love for him.” The spouses roughed it out for a few more years, but the damage was done. “We are incredibly lucky to have five amazing children and are committed to raising them together,” they announced in February 2019 (via People). “Our kids and their happiness will always be our first priority.”
