Former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on Saturday that President Trump has not been invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center.
According to a press release, the Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening celebrations will begin on June 18 and last through June 21, including "a series of events that bring together the changemakers, community members, volunteers, and supporters who made the Obama presidency a reality and that welcomes visitors to celebrate the power of hope and change."
Jarrett spoke about the upcoming opening ceremonies for the center on MS Now’s "The Weekend" with Jonathan Capehart, who asked, "So when things like this presidential centers or presidential libraries — I was there for President Clinton’s presidential library opening — there are all sorts of dignitaries who are there who are invited. And so I’m just wondering, Valerie, is President Trump invited?"
She gave a response clarifying that only those who played a part in former President Barack Obama’s political journey would be a part of the opening ceremony.
"As I said, this is really a chance for us to celebrate with the people who joined President Obama on this journey, the ordinary people who did the extraordinary things. So, no, but I will say, I hasten to add, that after we open to the public, should President Trump want to come and tour the center, President Obama would be delighted for him to do so."
"That was a very heavy ‘No,’ Valerie," co-host Eugene Daniels chuckled.
"And I’m curious what you think about a country feeling beleaguered, President Obama being the person who represented hope. What does it mean that this center will open under the backdrop of all of that that’s going on in this country right now?" Daniels asked.

I’m sure he’s all broken up about it.
Ugly building for ugly people with ugly ideas. President Trump wouldn’t go near the place.
Trump isn’t invited?
Trump is not part of that club!
That’s a feature and not a bug.
The democrats have zero self awareness.
That place will be packed with reptilian deep state critters collaborating for the take down.

Hawaii?? How about Kenya, the place of his birth.
I heard even Michael Obama isn’t going to attend. He couldn’t find the appropriate outfit.
He should go anyway…
…with a squad of US Marshalls in tow and search warrants.
That’s actually a great idea...a Trump Presidential Library outhouse shaped like Obama’s library and include an auto pen signed copy replica comic book from Biden’s memoir.
After making a mockery of Jessie Jackson’s funeral I would be surprised if any real blacks show up.
Buahahahahahahahaha!
That’s OK, we will soon burn it down.
And send ValJar back to her native Tehran to be happy.
Trump hates ugly buildings so they’re doing him a favor.
A Center, not a Library.
Guessing the “Center” will not have a copy of 0bama’s birth certificate
Will the “Center” have a private penthouse, better than the one at Clinton’s Presidential Library and Massage Parlour?
Will the “Center” have a restaurant??
Would any self respecting Chef want to work for 0bama?
The day it opens, none of the toilets will flush. The homeless Obama patrons will have to take a dump at the gas station across the street.
Now I'm thinkin'... Naw, can't be.
Tranny?
“Valerie still looks as if the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby.”
The father was Al Green.
Yes. But after about a week it'll turn into an old Soldier Field brat stand. Being Hussein's cook can be a bit dicey being on the water like that. I suggest they shoot an episode of Bong Appétit on the premises.

Trump would NEVER go into such a HIDEOUS BUILDING!!
I’m sure he’s crushed.
Crazy on the outside but even crazier on the inside
I’m wondering if Big Mike will be there? I hope a hot mic pick up him saying, “All this for a stupid building.” I will look forward to Trump’s library. I’m guessing paid by donations and classic in style.
