It’s been an eventful week in Washington, D.C. While discussing current topics, Alyssa Farah Griffin announced the death of Don Trump Jr. live on The View. He’s one of President Trump’s sons and played a major role in the administration. Keep reading for all the details.
Alyssa Farah Griffin Announces Don Trump Jr.’s Death
President Trump has five children with three different women. He welcomed Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Eric during his first marriage to Ivanka. Marla Maples is the mother of his other daughter, Tiffany. His youngest son, Barron, 20, is a product of his current marriage to Melania.
The President’s eldest son, Don Jr., got married over the Memorial Day weekend in the Bahamas. He tied the knot with socialite Bettina Anderson, whom he had been dating since 2024. He was previously married to Vanessa Trump. Before dating his current wife, he was engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is the ex-wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
President Trump declined to attend the wedding, citing the need to stay in Washington, D.C. His decision to skip his son’s wedding received a lot of backlash. It was the topic on The View on Tuesday, May 26. Alyssa Farah Griffin called out President Trump for not attending his son’s “funeral.”
It was a shocking flub. She meant to say “wedding.” Alyssa Farah Griffin realized her mistake immediately and blamed her newborn son for the mistake. “Honestly, I’m so tired, I have a 3-month-old. That was not meant,” she said after apologizing for the blunder.
The View host welcomed a son in February after years of struggling with infertility. Her newborn son was recently in the ICU, likely adding to her lack of sleep.

His children, Don Jr. and Ivanka, appeared as guests on the show in the past. In fact, Don Jr. and his then-girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, joined the show as guests in 2019. Alyssa Farah Griffin was still working in the White House at the time. She resigned from her role in the Trump administration in 2020 and joined The View in 2022.
During his 2019 appearance on the ABC show, Don Jr. tangled with Whoopi Goldberg over her defense of director Roman Polanski amid rape allegations. He also called out Joy Behar for wearing blackface decades ago.
