Making America great again — with hors d’oeuvres and sparkling wines.
President Donald Trump has been hosting dinner parties at the White House ever since he moved in last year, inviting media personalities, politicians and even Alaska’s very own Sarah Palin. And the commander in chief has now “ramped up” those parties, Politico reported Thursday, dining alongside the likes of billionaire business mogul Rupert Murdoch, conservative media figure Matt Drudge and various titans of Wall Street, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
Trump reportedly loves to “play host” in the People’s House, mixing campaign aides like Brad Parscale with senior advisers like Kellyanne Conway and Jared Kushner, along with his favorite television news hosts, including Sean Hannity.
The dinners give Trump the opportunity to be in charge, steer the conservation, and show off the historic place he now calls home — with its trappings of valets, Marine guards, and historic artifacts. Plus, the dinners are free of the interruptions that can happen in the Oval Office, with people coming in and out, said one administration official.
If he’s feeling upbeat, he’ll give visitors a tour of the Lincoln Bedroom or show off the copy of the Gettysburg Address or a rug first installed by Ronald Reagan. Often, he’ll say to guests: “Have you ever seen luxury like this?” as he guides them through, said the administration official.
Most recently, the president dined with venture capitalist Peter Thiel and the Safra Catz, a top executive for Amazon’s cloud competitor, Oracle.
Trump enjoys every aspect of his dinners with guests — from chocolate cake for desert, to signing autographs on the personal menus created each night — as they provide the “freewheeling nature of having people stop by” that the president longs for in the White House, one former official told the outlet.
How the media can’t see (or admit) that Trump”s animosity is justified is a total mystery. They despise jim then getted miffed when he respomds.
Hey, if CNN and the rest of them were saying truthful things about him they would be invited too.
if CNN would just stick to the facts they probably wouldn’t be in 3rd place!
the msm wants it both ways as always...
The dinner fare will be balanced.
Including RED MEAT
MAGA!
Good, the man needs a social life and since it is very difficult for any president to go out then having guests in is a logical alternative.
It is better than counting out seven, not six, not eight, but 7 seven almonds each and every evening and watching basketball all night.
All because they are trying to save Hillary's fat @$$ reputation.
What a bunch of freaking fools.
But I thought Trump said the White House was dump? Why is he showing it off if it’s a dump?
CNN is running that channel into the ground with the food fight/jerry springer talk format.
And I’ll bet he always gets two scoops of ice cream!
Another freeper who evidently doesn’t understand Trump
That beast! He has people stop by!
Don’t be shy. If you want another piece of cake just ask.
You don’t get it...
It was a dump when it was “Section 8 housing” between 2009 and 2017...
Since the Trumps moved in, they clearly fumigated it and spruced things up...
When Obama had all the left wing media (CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS etc) in for parties, Mediate had no problem with that. Another Leftist Mediate hit piece. Apparently Mediate folks are too stupid to understand that their bias is well known and they are only talking to the leftist idiots in the country because nobody else cares what they think or write.
just wait till he puts in the new ballroom! :)
I was being sarcastic. I was attempting to point out the duplicity of the media. sorry you misunderstood. :-)
