Bettina Anderson to attend Trump's inauguration

The president's eldest son's allies are concerned that his new girlfriend isn't “MAGA enough” due to her past support to the Black Lives Matter movement and stringent COVID regulations.

The couple made their love public only a few weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th president of the country on January 20, 2025.

According to a source who spoke to Daily Mail, Anderson will attend Trump's Inauguration next month with Don Jr., marking their first public appearance together.

According to at least two individuals close to Don Jr., she is merely using him as a latest step in her “social ladder climbing”.

Anderson identifies herself as a “typical stay at home mom…only I don’t do household chores…or have a husband…or have kids.”

They pair recently took a romantic vacation to Italy. On social media. Anderson publicly shared images of the flowers and love letters that Don Jr. sent her, as well as their opulent European getaway.
