US President Donald Trump has been accused of prioritising his online presence over family after it emerged he skipped his son's wedding to post on social media. The incident has sparked outrage and criticism of Trump's priorities, with many questioning why he chose to spend his time posting on social media rather than attending a significant family event.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, Trump's former press secretary, was left red-faced as she accidentally referred to the ceremony as a 'funeral' during a live broadcast. Griffin later corrected herself, but not before the slip-up had sparked widespread mockery and criticism.
The incident has raised questions about Trump's values and priorities, and whether he is truly in touch with the needs and concerns of ordinary Americans. It also highlights the potential risks of social media addiction, and the impact it can have on relationships and personal well-being.
As the US election season heats up, Trump's decision to skip his son's wedding to post on social media is likely to become a major talking point. His opponents will likely seize on the incident as evidence of his self-serving priorities, while his supporters may argue that he is simply trying to connect with his base.
Regardless of the motivations behind Trump's actions, the incident is a stark reminder of the potential pitfalls of social media addiction, and the need for leaders to set a better example for their followers.
