Trump crashes New Jersey wedding
Kristen
Piatkowski and Tucker Gladhill got a big surprise at their wedding
reception late Saturday night: a visit from President Donald Trump.
The
President dropped in at about 10:30 p.m. ET, hours into the reception,
which was being held at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster Township,
New Jersey, according to someone who was in the room.
Guests
were unaware that Trump, who stayed at the club this weekend, was
stopping by until Secret Service agents came into the room minutes
before his arrival to clear the way and make sure guests wouldn't
surround him, the source said.
Once
he was there, Trump asked the names of the bride and groom and posed
for photos. The source said the President also signed some "Make America
Great Again" hats and gave them to guests, some of whom cheered him and chanted "U.S.A.!"

The White House has been largely silent
about the President's weekend activities in Bedminster. Members of the
traveling press corps, which did not have access to the club, learned of
the wedding visit when images started to appear on social media.
Trump is headlining a private fundraiser at
the club Sunday night for Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-New Jersey, before
returning to Washington Sunday night. MacArthur found himself at the crux
of the health care debate this spring when he proposed an amendment to
the GOP health care plan that got enough conservatives on board to pass
the measure.
