Trump Family Divided Over Don Jr.’s New Girlfriend Ahead of Inauguration

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Days before Donald Trump‘s inauguration, the Trump family is grappling with whether Bettina Anderson, the new girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., should attend the high-profile event. Sources close to the family reveal concerns about Anderson’s past and the potential implications of her presence at the inauguration.

According to reports from Mediaite, the Trump family is wary of Anderson’s influence on Don Jr. and her potential to become a liability. “I told him that she’s not someone he should be around, and let him know about her past,” a family friend said. Anderson, known for her hard-partying lifestyle and history of dating wealthy men in Florida, has raised alarms among those close to the family.

The relationship between Don Jr. and Anderson is still in its early stages, but the family’s hesitation stems from her “questionable” associations. A month ago, Don Jr.’s breakup with Kimberly Guilfoyle, now the U.S. ambassador to Greece, was confirmed. While the family reportedly disliked Guilfoyle’s “loud presence” and fashion sense, Anderson initially seemed to be a more favorable match. However, recent revelations about her past have shifted the family’s perspective.

Donald Trump himself is said to be concerned about the relationship, viewing Anderson’s presence as more of a liability than an asset. “The idea that he might have the audacity to bring a casual partner on stage at the inauguration has been described as a potential misstep that could etch this relationship, and its questionable nature, into the history books,” a family friend told Mediaite.

Anderson has been seen at Mar-a-Lago and attended the Republican National Convention, but the inauguration is where the family draws the line. They are reportedly ready to dismiss her as a casual partner rather than a significant figure in the Trump family’s public image.

As the inauguration approaches, the Trump family remains divided on how to handle the situation, with some suggesting that Anderson may be barred from attending altogether. The decision could have lasting implications for Don Jr.’s public image and the family’s legacy.
