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."

Would like to know who did get invited!
Good. Macron will be the only commie there.
Why invite the enemy? Even the Chicoms and Russians would have been less likely to leak and undermine Trump.
we do not know that a chicap was not a part of the 150 invitees
When you hold the dinner, you can invite whomever you choose.
I’d only invite the members of the SCOTUS that I liked too.
I am sure there are other parties in DC that night. I never met a Democrat who did not like going to fundraisers.
But, but, it’s imperative to know if he puts ketchup on something, who will tell us??
I think this is a great idea, sounds like a much more relaxing atmosphere for their first state dinner than feeling as if they have to invite clear cut enemies - why should they?
No perks for the brain dead libs. Get used to it. Good for President Trump!
[It would be funny if he invited some dems but they were served entirely different food.]
It would be more funny if he invited both dems and MSM, but seated them in an “overflow” room.
There is NOTHING to leak. Some of you people are as consumed with hate as bad as the Democratmedia.
Why on God’s green earth, should President Trump invite these losers to dine with him?
They have vowed to oppose everything he does, and has opposed everything he did, ever since he became president.
They are “The Resistance,” don’t you know.
Another steak dinner? Shouldn’t they be eating fish once in a while?
Why indeed. Not needed, unwanted.
I love Trump, he’s treating them the same as NATO, the UN, and foreign aid, why are we kissing the azzes of people who hate us?
They don’t deserve an invite. They don’t even want to report the truth.
Maybe he should have them over for a dinner and serve pigeon.
Why should he..they call for his death and impeachment every single day..if these douche bags want to eat so badly they can go to Chipotle and have a delicious diarrhea burrito
This makes me smile delightedly
Or crow.

Maybe The White House can pay the CBC (Congressional Black Caucus)
as servers.
Screw the Cultural Marxists. They have done everything they can to sabotage the Trump Administration. If they did come to a state dinner, I would serve them bread and water while the rest ate chateaubriand, Copper River salmon, and mulberry pie with ice cream for desert.
