Meh. Ursala would just be a buzzkill at a party, anyway.

US President-elect Donald Trump has invited world leaders to his inauguration breaking with traditional US foreign policy where it is not customary for world leaders to attend the US President’s formal ascension ceremony to the Oval Office.
Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping who is not attending but is likely to send a highly placed envoy which could either be Han Zheng, vice president and foreign minister Wang Yi. It is yet to be confirmed who shall attend.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will be representing the Indian government. The Trump-Vance inaugural committee, which is organizing the swearing-in ceremony for Donald Trump and US vice president-elect JD Vance, had sent the invite.
Also on the list of invitees are people who share similar political beliefs like Donald Trump. He has invited Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Argentinian President Javier Milei, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele and Hungarian President Viktor Orban.
Ousted leaders like former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro are also on the list of invitees and are willing to attend. French far-right politician Eric Zemmour will attend Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
Meta, Amazon and Open AI chief Sam Altman are all reportedly donating $1 million to the fund for Trump’s inauguration on January 20. The New York Times reports that the inaugural committee has already raised over $170 million and is on track to surpass $200 million.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi are among the high-profile attendees at the inauguration. Uber, along with Elon Musk’s X and media company The Free Press, plans to host an inauguration party in Washington. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is also invited to events around the inauguration and Elon Musk, a strong Trump ally, is expected to be present in most of the events.
Apparently Ursala Vandercrazy, head of the EU, has NOT been invited. This sends a SERIOUS message to Europe that Trump is NOT happy with their behavior towards him.
This is going to a fun 4 years!
Meh. Ursala would just be a buzzkill at a party, anyway.
JD Vance jokes about skipping inauguration to watch Ohio State in College Football Playoff title game
I have been getting about 3 emails each day, urging me to attend. I suppose it’s a little late to RSVP now?
Foreigners have no business there. Same for Zuckerberg.
Never noun verbs.
‘ Never noun verbs.’
They’re called gerunds. They exist. It’s no big deal.
Gardening can be fun and is a legitimate word.
“Packages initially available through Friday were abruptly closed due to the high demand for access to exclusive events, such as the swearing-in ceremony and private gatherings, the news report mentioned.”
What the media forgot to mention is that marketing materials for the donor packages had warned that “Space is limited”. So it would go as no suprise that it would be a hard ticket to get. In other words, the media is trying to stir the pot again, just not with the entire story. That makes it a lie.

Might be a good idea if the two didn’t appear same time same place...in case the secret service is still sloppy.
Zuck kicked in a million bucks towards the shindig. I'd say he's worthy of a ticket to the show.
As far as foreign leaders who are Trump's allies or ones he hopes to work with, why not?
“Invite” used as a noun, is not a gerund.
“Inviting” would be a gerund.
I would make exceptions for these leaders.
But I would worry about the Left and DS trying to snuff them all.
Why has he invited Xinnie the Pooh?
I just wish the swearing in would be in the oval office not outside.
