He said that he and his then-fiancée Nicole Marie Mongelli sent Trump multiple invitations to attend.
P.J. Mongelli said Trump first appeared during the cocktail hour to meet the bride and other family members before he made a second appearance at the reception at the request of the newlyweds.
Not only are P.J. and Nicole Marie Mongelli big Trump supporters but they also got engaged at Trump’s golf club in Bedminster in 2017. The wedding also included MAGA-themed apparel and Trump flags.
Trump spent the weekend at his New Jersey golf club and returned to Washington Sunday evening.
He has previously made an impromptu drop-in during a wedding in 2017 at the same club. Brochures for the Bedminster golf club also reportedly touted an appearance from Trump as a selling point in hosting an event there.
