In other words, POTUS Trump doesn’t want to honor a bunch of 3rd world savages who want to kill us.

Take a look at the current posting here on FR about the current situation in Sweden and tell us that Trump isn’t doing the right thing!

Clinton waited four Years to have it.

Trump can have the Dinner after he is Reelected.

You need assistance? Get your assistance from the country you and/or your ancestors came from.

For Ramadan maybe he should serve up a nice lunch for them every day of that month.
