Breitbart, National Review, the Wall Street Urinal and the like. Glitterati will be the same people who have agreed to perform at the inauguration. It will be held at one of Trump's hotels, which will be paid a premium from government funds. Dinner will consist of well-done steaks and taco salads. No liquor. It will not be televised.

I always thought he decided to run for POTUS while at the correspondence dinner where Obama skewered him. No sense of humor at all.
