This past weekend a couple threw a wedding at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The theme of their wedding was “Make America Great Again” which was the Trump’s campaign slogan for the 2016 elections. Nicole Perosi and PJ Mongelli are long- time Trump supporters and their engagement was also in a Trump golf club. Their MAGA themed reception even had Trump 2020 signs and American flags, they also gave out Trump gold bars of chocolate as their wedding favors. The only thing missing from this Trump filled wedding was Trump himself, until he decided to show up. Trump walked in and embraced the bride and the groom, who were so happily surprised by their surprise guest.
As the couple hugged Trump, the guests chanted “USA! USA! USA!” Everybody at the wedding couldn’t be happier, with the bride exclaiming, “We love you so much,” and another guest said to the president, “You have all supporters here,” and that, “You’re a class act that you came in here.” These are words Trump hasn’t heard in a while, with many Americans that are extremely unhappy with Trump’s presidency, the president was definitely comforted by these words of affection. Trump has a tendency of making spontaneous appearances at weddings that go on in his golf club.
Just a couple of weeks ago, President Trump showed up to different wedding in that same New Jersey golf club. Although he had a busy work schedule of calling prime ministers, electing a new judge to take a seat on the Supreme Court, Donald Trump was still able to spend time making wedding days a little more special. President Trump showed up to Gerald Papa and Jenna Bucholtz’s wedding, and they too were ecstatic.
Trump, who owns the beautiful club, made sure that the couple was having an amazing stay, saying, “Take good care of them,” multiple times. The couple had huge smiles on their faces and people from the crowd were screaming, “We love you!” Since becoming president, Trump has visited four separate weddings, including the one mentioned earlier in the article. This doesn’t include the time when Trump stopped to take a picture with a bride right after a press conference about the North Korean missile launch in February of 2017. People aren’t sure why there was a rise in wedding crashes by Trump recently. But a possible theory is that the president wants to see love from supporters, rather than hate from people who are unhappy with the things he has done since he was elected president in 2016. True or not, Trump is definitely improving these people’s wedding day.
