Bush was the last president to miss the annual St. Patrick's Day luncheon President Trump will not attend the annual bipartisan St. Patrick’s Day lunch Thursday on Capitol Hill, and White House spokesman Judd Deere said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the reason. “Since the Speaker has chosen to tear this Nation apart with her actions and her rhetoric, the President will not participate in moments where she so often chooses to drive discord and disunity, and will instead celebrate the rich history and strong ties between the United States and Ireland at the White House...
