His estranged niece, Mary Trump, seized on the moment, saying the president 'can't stand his kid' and is 'incapable of loving'. Donald Trump Jr. married socialite Bettina Anderson on Saturday 23 May in an intimate ceremony on a private island, attended by around 40 guests including his five children and siblings Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany.
