When President Trump hosts French President Emmanuel Macron next week for his first state dinner, no Democrats or members of the media will be in attendance.

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."

He decided to draw the invitees from the pro-america parts of our population.

"There is NOTHING to leak"

Tell that to Comey and McCabe.

Peeps just make stuff up to leak and the LSM eats it up. It lets RosenWeasels appoint Special Persecutors.

Do you think PRyno doesn't have it in for Trump? Do you think PRyno is pushing an agenda For the People?

PRyno needs to be called out at every opportunity.

Hate? Nope, just trying to keep constant pressure on the bad actors.

One must show the ability to have manners to be invited to a state dinner.

>>Gee, Why invite people who hate you, lie about you, and hate the country.

Screw them...<<

Perfectly stated. And the fact that President Trump has the courage to do this is exactly why his base of supporters continues to expand. People who are paying attention are greatly impressed that we finally have a President who refuses to roll over like an obedient lapdog of the Democrats and their propaganda media.

You’re absolutely correct. I myself am consumed with hate for anyone who I’m convinced is an anti-American attempting to destroy our country. And it’s my fervent hope that every single one of them is imprisoned or hanged while I’m still around to enjoy it.

In order not to insult the Never Trump and Communist members of Congress, “To Go” take out box dinners will be available for pickup at the servants entrance of the White House.

President Trump is a great patriot, and his refusal to invite the anti-American scumbags in Congress and the media is a perfectly rational thing to do. MAGA!

Next to the garbage bags, like Obama did with the Dalai Lama.

Maybe Obama was enforcing a rule mandating no flip-flops in the White House.
