WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump Jr’s girlfriend Bettina Anderson recently clapped back at a critic, who called her boyfriend, Donald Trump Jr, a “spoiled heir” and an “a**hole” in a New York Magazine profile.

Taking to her Instagram Story over the weekend, she mentioned the quote by an insider who called Trump Jr “most despised member of the [Trump] family” in the article titled "The Age of Don Jr. How the ultimate failson became an edgelord whisperer and bona fide power player."

Anderson also said that “DEFINITELY an ‘insider’ VERY familiar with @donaldtrumpjr,” before labelling her boyfriend as the “finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful and brilliant person.”

The 47-year-old businessman also fired back at the anonymous critic as he noted, “Don’t get me wrong, I can totally be an a–hole when I need to be … if you’re adversarial to my friends, my family, my country, MAGA, etc.”

“But I think you’d be hard pressed to find a regular person who actually knows me that thinks that. There’s no wonder why these ‘sources’ are always anonymous. Man up, put your name to it, but we know you won’t because you’re cowards,” Trump Jr added.

It was revealed in December 2024 that Trump Jr and Anderson were romantically involved.

At the time, an insider told Page Six, “Bettina and Don have been together for a few months, and are super cute and happy together. It’s just a natural fit — everyone is happy for them!”

Regarding the first son’s former girlfriend and fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle, the source added, “Don and Kimberly haven’t been getting along over the past year. They get argumentative at Mar-a-Lago in front of people. Nothing crazy, but you know when a couple is fighting. They bicker in public.”
