The president's eldest son, 46, hard launched his relationship with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 38, by bringing her to the Trump family Christmas celebration at Mar-a-Lago. Just weeks earlier, he publicly announced the end of his engagement to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. The new relationship has sparked fears within Trump's camp, amid rumors that Anderson is a social climber with a notorious party girl reputation in Florida . This week, she took to Instagram to issue a defiant response to her critics, sharing a bible passage about lies and manipulation, the Irish Star reported. 'So let them lie. Let them manipulate. Let them talk. You just be still, because when God is on your side, who can stand against you?' the bible passage, from the book of Exodus, states. The passage was part of a video posted by an account which shares motivational quotes and messages, Cycas Motivation. Anderson later shared a photograph taken from the back of a horse, which she captioned: 'Happiness.' The pair took their relationship public shortly before his father will be sworn in as the nation's 47th president on January 20, 2025 This week, she took to Instagram to issue a defiant response to her critics, sharing a bible passage about lies and manipulation.

The pair took their relationship public just weeks before his father will be sworn in as the nation's 47th president on January 20, 2025. Anderson plans to join Don Jr . at Trump's Inauguration next month, a source told DailyMail.com, which would be her first public event alongside the first son. 'It's one thing to worry about Palm Beach shenanigans making a stop at Mar-a-Lago,' said a source close to the transition team. 'But to let those problems penetrate the White House is a new level of trouble.' At least two people close with Don Jr. allege that she is only using their friend as her latest step in her 'social ladder climbing' and carefree influencer lifestyle. She describes herself as a 'typical stay at home mom...only I don’t do household chores...or have a husband...or have kids.' Don Jr. and Anderson jetted off to Italy for a romantic getaway days after the news of their relationship broke. Anderson has shared pictures of love letters and flowers sent to her from Don Jr. and also openly documented their luxurious European escape. Anderson later shared a photograph taken from the back of a horse, which she captioned: 'Happiness' First whispers of her relationship with Don Jr. started in September when images emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling while dining at a restaurant near the Trump's southern Florida residence First whispers of her relationship with Don Jr. started in September when images emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling while dining at a restaurant near the Trump's southern Florida residence. At the time, the 46-year-old father-of-five was still publicly engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. More images of the two together were obtained in mid-December by Daily Mail and just hours later it was revealed that Don Jr.'s relationship with Guilfoyle was over after a four-year engagement. Stacey Bendet, fashion designer and founder and CEO of Alice + Olivia, said that the smears are due to other women 'fixating on competing' and not empowering each other. 'I have been friends with Bettina for a decade, she is the kindest soul, she has the biggest heart, she is witty and wise, hilariously funny, and an Ivy League grad - anyone who says a word otherwise is just another societal example of women fixating on competing verse empowering.' 'Don adores her for good reasons!!' she added in a text.

Others say that Anderson is trying to use Don Jr. as a 'stepping stone' to reach even 'bigger fish.' Asked why there is such an uprising from those in Palm Beach about Anderson, many had the same answer: 'We want to protect the Trump brand and don't want her close to the family.'

The outcome of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand election has been both along expected lines and at the same time shocking. In Maharashtra, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance has pulled off a stunning victory that far overshot the predictions. The BJP itself has won the largest number of seats, so it is no longer entirely dependent on the allies to form the government but whom it will still take along. As for the other parties, the election has thrown up an interesting outcome: the breakaway factions of Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) have bagged several times more seats than the parent parties. So, the rebels like Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar now effectively take over as the authentic leaders of Shiv Sena and the NCP while Udhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar now head the rumps of these organizations. Going forward, Thackeray and senior Pawar are likely to become irrelevant to Maharashtra politics and, in turn, to national politics. Congress, on the other hand, has been decimated in the state. The second successive loss for the party after Haryana and abysmally poor performance in J&K have left the party reeling. It is difficult to explain as to what happened in just four months after the general elections, in which the party had staged a comeback of sorts. It is almost as if the Congress gets its act together in spasms and then goes back into the complacent mode. In general elections, it was Maharashtra that along with Uttar Pradesh, had played a crucial role in stopping the BJP juggernaut short of an absolute majority. Now Maharashtra has given the saffron party most of the seats in the Assembly polls. What it shows is that the BJP has been quick to learn its lessons and tailor its election strategy to the aspirations of the voters. The BJP is also a 24×7 party. It’s already vaunted election machinery keeps working while other parties are fast asleep. More so, the Congress whose top leaders take a political sabbatical after every election. And if the Rahul Gandhi-led party and the larger opposition fail to dissect what went wrong in Maharashtra and then act on it, it bodes ill for their future.The cafe owner, the fund manager and the $35 million windfall
