This report is bogus - she had long been announced as being unable to attend due to having just recently had a baby - indeed that is what sparked this entire conversation that the press is now gleefully continuing to misreport.
Yep, this is all fake news, just as Trump said.
Reporters don’t report the news nowadays. They just manufacture situations.
First they said he called her “nasty.” (He was talking about her comments about him. He complimented her.)
Now they’re saying she skipped the state dinner because of Trump. (She hasn’t been attending anything since she had a baby.)
They’re also spreading audio of Trump’s talking about Diana.
Nothing stops the reporters from trying to create controversy so that they’ll have something to report, especially against a Republican president.
