Smaller Than Ever: Trump Bans Democrats From First State Dinner

[Soph0571]

In a troublingly familiar move, Trump has banned congressional Democrats from attending his first state dinner. It’s a petulant rebuke of American tradition.

On Tuesday, Trump will host French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House. But unlike his two immediate predecessors, he hasn’t invited any congressional members of the Democratic Party to attend, including leaders like Rep. Nancy Pelosi or Sen. Chuck Schumer. He has also excluded members of the media.

Such a petty little man

1. Probably they're breathing a sigh of relief

They can always host their own event for Macron.

5. Lol. My thought too. Hard to imagine this will blight their evening.

But Macron's trying to develop and maintain a good relationship with Trump. I doubt our Democrats will do anything that could put him in a bad position.

2. Trump doesn't care

As long as President Macron brings his wife, Trump won't care who else attends the dinner.

3. Doesn't seem like a real state dinner.

4. They can buy their own McDonalds.

6. The only one disappointed will be Macron.

extremely disappointed

7. If I were Mrs. Macron

I'd refuse to sit next to the Dumpster for fear he'd pinch my rear or feel up my thigh. I'd switch places at the last minute with Karen Pence.

8. The Dems are relieved but this move will play badly overseas.

I do hope the slight is widely broadcast. As America is a beacon by its actions to the world, this move diminishes us all in the eyes of those seeking or already having representative governments where opposition parties exist together, not separately.

In all, another sad day in Trumpland!

9. this is really alarming.

it's so unamerican.

10. Shithole mentality from a tinhorn dictator who is unfit to work the cash register at 7-Eleven

11. Will anyone even care when he resorts to spitballs and wedgies?

I doubt it.

12. Then the RNC should have to pay for it.

If it is a partisan function the taxpayers should not have to pay for it.
