Jimmy Kimmel roasted President Trump for missing his son Don Jr.'s wedding in the Bahamas over the weekend. The late-night host noted Trump sent his regrets via Truth Social citing government obligations while the ceremony had just 40 guests. Kimmel questioned Trump's priorities given his frequent golf outings and UFC appearances with Vanilla Ice.

The ABC host mocked Trump's history of three marriages while claiming expertise on successful relationships. Don Jr. and his new wife Bettina reportedly plan to celebrate at the White House, prompting Kimmel to wonder if Trump would even attend that event despite living there. The jokes came during Trump's third medical examination in over a year at Walter Reed.

Kimmel concluded by suggesting Don Jr. had to scramble for a replacement toastmaker after his father's absence. The routine highlights how political families navigate public scrutiny when personal and presidential obligations conflict, with Trump's recent medical visit providing additional fodder for late-night comedians.
