Donald Trump hosted Republican senators at the new 'Rose Garden Club' on Tuesday for a ritzy lunch as Diet Cokes flowed, laughter filled the air and sunshine glanced off the yellow-and-white striped umbrellas.
But despite the blue-sky ambience, the President couldn't resist the urge to pour scorn on Kentucky senator Rand Paul, who has frequently clashed with Trump on spending, military action and tariffs.
'We have everybody but one person here. You'll never guess who that is,' Trump joked as the other senators chuckled. 'Let me give you a hint - he automatically votes No on everything. He thinks it's good politics; it's not good politics.'

opps... miss 2 lines...
The President added: ‘If he wanted to come, I’d probably let him come, begrudgingly.’
But Paul’s office told the Daily Mail he had not been invited to the luncheon.
If your gonna bar a Kentucky senator let it be that friggin, Chicom riding turtle
How about both of them?
Trump banning Rand Paul while inviting Mitch McConnell (the other senator from Kentucky) speaks volumes about Trump.
Mitch has no idea where he is.
Trump has no problem with Lisa Murkowski, Cornyn from Texas, McConnell, Lindsey Graham. But they are all in good standing with AIPAC.
Yeah, it’s not about conservatism but about being thin-skinned.
Rand Paul’s Rino shin is showing now that Trump in in office again a dark cloud rests over him FAFO.
Yeah it does. Shows he is intelligence.
I have a, for the most part, positive view of Paul. I disagree with him often but not like I would a Democrat or RINO like McConnell or Romney (who is thankfully gone)
Why do you always sound like a butt hurt Trump hatter?
Good point.
TDS has been a trademark of the dude living and loving Austin , Texas.
Did any of those names come out and appear to sympathize with narcoterrorists recently, like Rand Paul did?
Good to see Trump taking some time out of his busy schedule as Argentinian Finance Minister and Mayor of Jerusalem to attend to important business here at home.
Sorry meant to ping this reply to you to your statement:
