Politico reported on Friday that Trump has not invited any Democratic lawmakers to the Tuesday dinner, nor has he extended invitations to members of the media — a departure from past state dinners.
Of the roughly 150 people that are set to attend the dinner, only four are members of Congress: House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.); Rep. Ed Royce, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; and Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.), according to Politico.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was invited, but is unable to attend, Politico reported. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) was not extended an invite.
Lea Berman, the White House social secretary under former President George W. Bush, told Politico that the exclusion of Democrats and members of the media is "a break with tradition."

‘Why should he? So they can report in their usual bitchy/catty manner on how he eats food’
And the far bigger issues: the size of Trump’s hands and the way his holds his water glass.
Somebody better tell the Lefties they reap what they sow. Their chickens are coming home to roost.
Good.
Next, I would like him to stop allowing the press to ride with him on Air Force One. They can go commercial.
liberals = food throwers who belong in Animal House.
A pleasant statte dinner for once... no cockroaches.
Why invite the “Resistance”?
I guess Trump isn’t exactly a clone of George Bush (either one).
LOVE IT !!!!!
“When they support the US, they’ll be welcome again.”
Or at least when they ACCEPT the results of the 2016 election (and 2000, also).
Now if would have really been a screwdriver up their butts if Trump had invited Fox News, the Washington Post, and Alex Jones.
...that would have been GREAT!!!
No enemies of the state at a state dinner? That’s weird!
“...the exclusion of Democrats and members of the media is “a break with tradition.”
That’s why we sent Trump to the White House, to BREAK typical Washington TRADITIONS...and he’s doing it.
Viva La Trump.
“a break with tradition.”
President Trump shouldn’t break tradition.
He should cut it up and toss it in the chipper.
amen
only Americans are invited.
What! denying all of those lying crooks a free meal?
The same People who wail about ignoring “Tradition” are the same People who have no respect for the Constitution, the Foundation of our Republic.
It would be funny if he invited some dems but they were served entirely different food. I’d like to see some of them react.
No reason to make nice to the skunks and rats who crap all over him. Pissonthemall.
Make sure they only get one scoop.
Actually, they should get a little tray with the Michelle Obama school food! It would look so good on them.
The nice was at the inaugural having Schumer speak. Since then the nice ship has sailed.
