When news broke last week that President-elect Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. had allegedly split with his longtime fiance Kimberley Guilfoyle, rumors immediately began to swirl regarding the identity of the woman who had stolen the first son’s heart away from the former Fox News.

It didn’t take long for news outlets to figure out that Trump Jr. had traded Guilfoyle, who was just named as President-elect Trump’s nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Greece, for a young Florida socialite named Bettina Anderson.

Trump Jr. and Anderson were captured by paparazzi walking in public together last week, and it was reported by the New York Post that the first son brought Anderson to Mar-A-Lago and had been “parading her around.”

Just weeks before his father is set to become the most powerful individual in the world, Donald Trump Jr. has miraculously acquired a new love interest that could potentially become part of the first family, the most famous family in the entire world.

Who Is Bettina Anderson? Introducing Donald Trump Jr.’s New Girlfriend

So who is Bettina Anderson? Vantage News took a deeper look at Anderson, and those around her, and what we discovered was shocking to say the least. Not only does the wealthy Floridian have ties to some of Washington’s most elite Republicans, but additionally a highly questionable history which would lead anybody to question her intentions.

Anderson’s father, Harry Loy Anderson Jr. passed away in 2013 while in hospice care. Anderson Jr. enjoyed an extensive and successful career in the banking industry, becoming the youngest bank President in U.S. history at just 26 years old.

The millionaire is survived by his wife Inger Anderson, who has a track record of recent political donations tying her to anti-Trump elements of the Republican Party, particularly in Congress.

Since 2022 Inger Anderson has donated to several political candidates across the United States, nearly all of whom share close ties with U.S. Senator from Texas Ted Cruz, who previously opposed Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican Presidential primary.

During the 2022 Election cycle Anderson funded Representative Jen Kiggans, Representative Lori Chavez-Deremer who both successfully were elected to the House of Representatives.

The wealthy widow funded the unsuccessful Congressional campaigns of Cassy Garcia, Amanda Adkins, and Lisa Scheller.

Several of these candidates also have a documented history of railing against Trump from within the Republican Party. All of them also happen to be sponsored by a political action committee called ‘Maverick PAC’, which has traditionally supported the establishment wing of the right wing.

The common link present within the short but revealing list of candidates that Bettina Anderson’s mother has given political contributions to over the last several years lies in the U.S. Senate in the form of veteran Republican Senator Ted Cruz.

Cassy Garcia

Cassy Garcia, who served as Cruz’s Deputy State Director from 2013 until she ultimately decided to unsuccessfully run for Congress in 2022, received money from the elder Anderson.

Cruz campaigned for Garcia in her unsuccessful 2022 Congressional campaign in Laredo, Texas.

Amanda Adkins

Amanda Adkins, who was Republican nominee for Kansas’s 3rd congressional district in both the 2020 election and 2022 election, also received contributions from Inger Anderson. Adkins campaigned with Ted Cruz during her failed 2022 candidacy.

During that 2022 run for Congress, Adams slammed President-elect Donald Trump for questioning the validity of the 2020 Presidential election, even going as far as to declare her support for Joe Biden as the President during a speech while standing next to the U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.

Adams, funded by Anderson, accused Trump of creating ‘political theater’ in the aftermath of the 2020 Election.

Adams routinely portrayed herself as a ‘moderate’ in the face of a changing Republican Party that was moving away from the middle, and towards the far right policies of President Donald Trump, as she characterized it at the time.

Lisa Scheller

Lisa Scheller tried and failed to win the Congressional seat representing Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional district, and did so with the funding of the mother of Donald Trump Jr.’s new girlfriend, Inger Anderson.

Scheller donated to both John Kasich and Marco Rubio in opposition of Donald Trump in the 2016 Republican Presidential primary. See evidence of those donations via the federal campaign finance database below,

Though well-funded and supported by the establishment wing of the Republican Party in Washington, Scheller was unsuccessful in her race, losing to Democrat Susan Wild by a large margin.


The fact that Bettina Anderson’s mother has made financial contributions to forces within the Republican Party that have worked to oppose Donald Trump, Anderson’s sudden involvement with Donald Trump Jr. becomes all-the-more suspicious.

A deeper look into Bettina Anderson yields an even more insidious illustration of the purpose of her sudden interest in the first son.

Bettina Anderson’s Questionable Relationship With Longtime Boss Christopher DiSchino

Bettina Anderson serves as a committee member and leader of an organization called the Project Paradise Film Fund. She is listed as a committee member on the website for the organization, which is an NGO focused on wildlife conservation.

The Natural Florida Film Grant” is the Fund’s inaugural initiative. This initiative sponsors a $25,000 grant for video productions about the environment in Florida.

Also on the committee of that organization is Bettina Anderson’s brother Kent Anderson, who is intricately involved in many of the business apparatuses that we examined during our investigation.

The Project Paradise Film Fund is an offshoot of The Paradise Fund, a larger charitable organization that was co-founded by a Miami Business Attorney named Christopher DiSchino.

The Paradise Fund is co-chaired by both Ken Anderson, the brother of Bettina Anderson, and DiSchino. See evidence of this from Guidestar below,

A Vantage News investigation into the publicly available IRS 990 forms for The Paradise Fund reveal that the organization has maintained a net asset figure of around $200,000 for the last decade.

The organization has seen zero substantial growth, and most of its receipts appear to be for things like travel.

In other words, the fund, based on filings with the IRS, appears to be strictly for the use of the co-founders of the organization, Kent Anderson and Christopher DiSchino. A small amount, under $100,000, is also dispersed from the fund annually in salaries, speculatively to pay people like Bettina Anderson who claim to work for Paradise-related entities.

The business relationship between Anderson and DiSchino seemed uninteresting until Vantage News stumbled across these photos of the pair at an upscale fundraiser event for The Paradise Fund.

Trump Jr.’s new woman could be seen straddling the leg of her boss, who was grinning from ear-to-ear as the photo was taken. See that shocking image below,

Another photo from the exact same event shows the couple in the same kind of position, begging the question, have DiSchino and Anderson ever been in a relationship, and if she is still employed by DiSchino, is she still romantically involved with him?

Bettina Anderson Mocked Anti-Mask Protestors During The COVID-19 Pandemic, Slammed People With Children

An examination of Bettina Anderson’s online social media profiles left Vantage News investigators wondering where her political affiliations truly reside. Many of her posts included below echo common sentiments of those who oppose Donald Trump.

In one post discovered by Vantage News, the Floridian bragged about be proud of not having children, saying, “I’m just your typical stay at home mom… only I don’t do household chores…or have a husband…or have kids.”

See a screenshot of that post included below,

In another post, Anderson rightfully mocks those who refused to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, which ironically would include her boyfriend Donald Trump Jr.. In that post dated November 2nd, 2020, Anderson held a sign which says, “only you can stop the spread of ignorance,” while wearing a surgical mask. See that post below,

In another post unearthed by Vantage News, Anderson promoted drug use, writing in the caption of the photo, “Congratulations to drugs for winning  the war on drugs.” See that post below,


A surface-level examination of Bettina Anderson reveals that she may be politically diametrically opposed to Donald Trump Jr.. Not only is the Florida socialite opposed to the Conservatism preached by Trump Jr. and others in his circle, but also closely linked to forces within the Republican Party that have opposed Donald Trump since the very beginning of his political career.

The ties between political candidates who have received donations from Anderson’s mother and forces within the Republican Party who oppose Donald Trump cannot be understated.

The added drama of Anderson’s speculative relationship, and inappropriate photos taken with him at public events raise serious questions about Anderson and her past.
