Trump Jr.’s fiancée goes to famed White House bathroom to sell $780 pants
Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée, Bettina Anderson, has joined his daughter, Kai, in using locations in the White House as backdrops for selling pricey merchandize.
The Palm Beach socialite shared a selfie on Instagram Story, showing her posing in front of a gilt-framed mirror in the controversially remodeled Lincoln Bathroom, the Daily Beast reported. She’s wearing a blouse and a pair of taupe-colored pants. In true influencer fashion, Anderson shared a link to Oriane, the designer of the pants, which her own “Shop My” profile shows retail for $780.
It appears that Anderson, 39, snapped the photo while she was in Washington, D.C., for President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, the Daily Beast reported. She either was given a tour of the executive residence, the Lincoln Bedroom and its newly remodeled bathroom, or she and Trump Jr. were invited to stay the night there. The president faced blowback for the bathroom remodel, which he unveiled on Halloween to show it filled with gold fixtures and “Mar-a-Lago-esque,” white-and-black marble pretty much everywhere, the Daily Beast said.
Anderson, who became engaged to Trump’s oldest son in December, also enjoyed prime seating in the House chamber as Trump delivered his nearly two-hour-long SOTU address. She sat with members of the Trump family, in between Jared Kushner and Lara Trump and directly behind siblings, Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka Trump.
At one point, there had been question about whether Anderson would be accepted into the Trump family’s inner circle, following people complaining anonymously to the Daily Mail and other outlets that she could be a social climber. Anderson and Trump Jr., 48, reportedly began dating in the summer of 2024, while he was still officially engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle, 56, a former Fox News host, top fundraiser for Trump’s presidential campaign and the current U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Meanwhile, Anderson’s pants-flogging stunt is the latest example of a member of the extended Trump family using federal property for a photo shoot to promote apparel and other products. In September, Kai Trump, the president’s bubbly golf star granddaughter, used different locations in the White House for photos to market her pricey new line of sweatshirts.
The 18-year-old internet celebrity, the daughter of Trump Jr. and his ex-wife Vanessa Trump, unveiled her line of sweatshirts in a promotional video and images that were staged on the lawn and other settings around the White House.
Kai Trump also faced backlash from Taylor Swift fans for the logo on her apparel — an interlocking monogram of her initials, “KT.” These fans thought her logo was a dead ringer for the “TK” logo that Travis Kelce has on his line of apparel with American Eagles Tru Colors.
The question of whether Kai Trump’s photo shoot crossed an ethical line was a topic for debate in September. Anderson’s photo shoot is likely to renew similar questions.
