State of the State Dinner: MAGA Edition
MOTUS A.D. ^ | 4-25-18 | MOTUS

The Trump’s first State Dinner was held in the State Dining Room, where such affairs were intended to be held, rather than the circus tent constructed on the south lawn for many of the Obama era state dinners.

Trump’s State Dinner for France, Obama’s State Circus for India

And the table setting was boringly classic, left, unlike the Obama’s state dinner for Italy, right which was contemporary pink and green.

Of course you don’t need to erect a tent if you don’t invite half of Hollywood and all of the supportive press corps to break bread with you like they did during the Obama era state dinners:

Screen Capture #187In the media-whore contingency, l-r, Claire Shipman(ABC) and Mr. Claire Shipman (JJ Carney), Gwen Ifill (PBS) [RIP] and date, the honorable Andrew Sullivan (Newsweek/Daily Beast) of Sarah Palin “Trig is not your child” fame, and his current squeeze, Aaron Tone.

Mrs. Trump’s gown was elegant: Chanel black Chantilly lace haute couture gown hand-painted with silver and embroidered with crystal and sequins. There will certainly be much talk of its expense just as there was most certainly none about Lady M’s Naeem Khan gown covered with hand sewn crystals and sequins.

Vogue, compelled to cover the FLOTUS’ gown last night as that is their business, was guardedly non-committal as to its virtue or vice while Elle loved the dress but managed to track down some of the nastier tweets to include in its coverage.

But all in all, the dinner was considered a success:

About 130 guests, seated at round candle-lit tables decorated with bouquets of white flowers, dined on rack of lamb and nectarine tart served on a mix of china settings from the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. After-dinner entertainment (was) courtesy of the Washington National Opera.

Opera? What? No Beyoncé, role model for young girls? Figures, everyone knows Donald Trump is a sexist.

The obamas were all about having lots of worshipers around them at all times.

I’m sure the British are quietly in a dither, had they not blown it with having their hands in attempting to prevent Trump’s election, and had May not been such an awkward bumbler, the first State Dinner would have been them. Seems sort of unusual for it to have been France, we’re not all that close historically, well other than Lafayette and the Revolutionary War that is.

Would have loved to hear they sang ‘Do you hear the people’ from Les Miserables. Probably would have been gauche.

Melania did the American people proud with the elegant State dinner she supervised.

Melania’s grace and dignity has brought those two attributes back to our White House!! She’s obviously helping to MAGA!!!

What a wonderful A-1st Class State Dinner the Pres. and First Lady hosted.... I could not be prouder that they recognize the ‘Dignity” of the State Dinner and it's purpose...which is in order ‘to renew and celebrate diplomatic ties between the host country and the country of a foreign head of state or head of government’......NOT as a “playground” or ‘entertainment” for the Hollywood rif-raff and personal friends the Obama’s used and abused it for.
