Former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on Saturday that President Trump has not been invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center.
According to a press release, the Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening celebrations will begin on June 18 and last through June 21, including "a series of events that bring together the changemakers, community members, volunteers, and supporters who made the Obama presidency a reality and that welcomes visitors to celebrate the power of hope and change."
Jarrett spoke about the upcoming opening ceremonies for the center on MS Now’s "The Weekend" with Jonathan Capehart, who asked, "So when things like this presidential centers or presidential libraries — I was there for President Clinton’s presidential library opening — there are all sorts of dignitaries who are there who are invited. And so I’m just wondering, Valerie, is President Trump invited?"
She gave a response clarifying that only those who played a part in former President Barack Obama’s political journey would be a part of the opening ceremony.
"As I said, this is really a chance for us to celebrate with the people who joined President Obama on this journey, the ordinary people who did the extraordinary things. So, no, but I will say, I hasten to add, that after we open to the public, should President Trump want to come and tour the center, President Obama would be delighted for him to do so."
"That was a very heavy ‘No,’ Valerie," co-host Eugene Daniels chuckled.
"And I’m curious what you think about a country feeling beleaguered, President Obama being the person who represented hope. What does it mean that this center will open under the backdrop of all of that that’s going on in this country right now?" Daniels asked.

It looks like a sanitation facility where they process garbage. I have no desire to tour it either.
What makes her think he would want to attend the opening of that monstrosity?
For Zer0’s entire time in office, I didn’t call him Zer0 for nothing (0). He did Zer0 good for America.
As a builder....Trump would give the design an F-. One of the ugliest buildings I’ve ever seen.
Obama’s legacy is not hope. It is destruction. He set the seeds for transforming America into South Africa. Trump has saved America from Obama’s evil vision. Of course Obama wouldn’t invite Trump because he would be embarrassed by the comparisons.
*Thulsa Doom!
The same guy designed SpongeBob’s pineapple house.
I’ll bet Trump is relieved to not have to make and excuse, or attend.
“Klingon prison “ is one of the more popular comparisons
I called him Zer0 elsewhere too
Got banned 🚫🚫🚫 for it
Fine, they can have him LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Been weeping bitter tears for days no doubt
😜
Looks like a Hybrid Mosque
Or an Underground Septic Tank
It looks Islamic to me, evil looking
The real question is whether Michelle will go, and was she invited. And who will be the gay guy sitting just behind Obama.
I think this opening says Obama all over it. Firstly its just short of ten years in the making. Way over budget nobody wanted it, and it looks like a WW11 bunker. No white people will ever go to that part of Chicago. At least not in their own cars. Obama himself has not been to that part of Chicago for most of a decade until Jackson died.
Consider that an honor.
** should have put it in Hawaii. **

Beat me by almost 3 hours
I agree.
Obammie was fecal mater.
She is Iranian of the muslim kind.
Why was it designed to look like a giant butt-plug?
