President Trump crashes wedding reception at golf club in NJ

Monday, June 12, 2017
BEDMINSTER, New Jersey -- President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at a wedding reception in New Jersey Saturday night.

The wedding party clapped and cheered when he showed up at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster.

It appears that Trump is not related to the newlyweds -- and they had no idea he would be there.

The bride ran over and hugged the president, who later posed for a picture with her.

Trump also signed a few "Make America Great Again" hats and gave them to the guests.

He received a mostly positive response from the guests, with some yelling out, "Looking good, Donald." The crowd then chanted "USA, USA," as he left the room.

Trump has been known to stop in on weddings held at the golf club in the past.

He has been spending the weekend at the club and holding a major fundraiser there for a Republican congressman who helped revive their party's push to dismantle the U.S. health care law.

CNN and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
