Insiders and acquaintances of the Trump family are making concerted efforts to persuade Don Jr., 46, to terminate his new relationship with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 38.
Supporters of the president’s eldest son are expressing concerns that Anderson may not align with the “MAGA” ethos, given her past endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement and her adherence to stringent COVID-19 regulations.
Additionally, they are apprehensive about her reputation as a party girl in Palm Beach, which they believe may not be suitable for someone associated with the first family.
The couple publicly acknowledged their relationship just before Don Jr.’s father is set to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025. Anderson is expected to accompany Don Jr. to the inauguration next month, marking her first public appearance alongside him, as reported by DailyMail.com.
A source close to the transition team remarked, “While concerns about Palm Beach antics at Mar-a-Lago are one thing, allowing such issues to infiltrate the White House represents a new level of concern.”
At least two individuals close to Don Jr. have suggested that Anderson may be leveraging their friendship as a means to advance her own social ambitions and influencer lifestyle.
Despite the scrutiny, Don Jr. appears unfazed, as he and Anderson recently traveled to Italy for a romantic getaway shortly after their relationship became public.
Anderson has shared images of love letters and flowers from Don Jr. on social media, as well as documenting their lavish European vacation. The initial rumors of their relationship surfaced in September when photographs of the couple sharing affectionate moments at a restaurant near the Trump family’s southern Florida residence were released.Models, including Bettina, were present at the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Party held at SLS South Beach on July 19, 2012, in Miami.
Bettina Anderson was spotted with Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife at the event. Despite any negative comments that may have been directed at Bettina, Don Jr. has not shown any concern, as he has not shared such worries with his close associates.
However, a source who has been involved with the Trump campaign for the past five years informed DailyMail.com that Don Jr. is gradually becoming aware of how Bettina is viewed within MAGA circles, especially as more information about her comes to light.
The initial rumors regarding her relationship with Don Jr. began in September when photos surfaced of the couple sharing affectionate moments while dining at a restaurant near the Trump family’s residence in southern Florida.
There are claims that a firm associated with Anderson, Kilo Content, alerts reporters and paparazzi when the socialite is out with Don Jr., suggesting that she aims to enhance her public profile.
The firm has not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comments regarding these allegations.
Some observers believe that Bettina’s interest in the Trump family is driven by current trends, noting her previously more liberal viewpoints, which were highlighted by DailyMail.com earlier this month. Bettina Anderson is also featured in a photo from September 21, 2015, shared by Julia Katherine LeClair from Kythnos Island, Greece.
