I stand corrected. He threw the party but didn’t stay for it.
What’s more interesting about the 2017 White House Holiday Party for the Press is how Trump did not invite April Ryan - supposedly because (in addition to not liking her), she insulted Press Secretary Sarah Sanders about her Holiday Pie (remember #piegate?).
Of course, Ryan is black - which everyone took to be the *real* reason she wasn’t invited. Cuz, y’know, Republicans are racist.
