Trump publicly explained his absence by stating, 'While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon-to-be wife, Bettina, circumstances about the government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so.'
He added that he felt it was important to remain at the White House in Washington, D.C., during what he described as a significant period.
