Breaking with tradition, the White House under President Donald Trump did not host an iftar dinner, the meal Muslims eat to break their daily fast during Ramadan.
The dinner, which has been often attended by prominent members of the U.S. Muslim community, began in 1996 during former President Bill Clinton’s White House tenure and continued through the subsequent Bush and Obama administrations.
Trump and first lady Melania simply issued a brief statement Saturday that offered “warm greetings” to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr, which marks the close of Ramadan, Islam’s holy month of fasting.

Is it necessary to say “former President Bill Clinton”? If course not.
I’ve seen “former President Abraham Lincoln” and “former President Richard M. Nixon,” too.
When newspapers would publish an editorial calling for his resignation, they invariably said, “The time has come for Richard M. Nixon to resign the Presidency.”
Just to make sure their readers didn’t think they were talking about Richard B. Nixon or Richard S. Nixon.

The moslems don’t deserve it because of their behavior. Time to delegitimize Islam in America. It has no place here.

“Breaking with tradition...began in 1996 during former President Bill Clinton’s White House tenure”
21 years ago? Hardly a “tradition”.
