Trump hosts France's Macron for first state visit

Guest list still secret

 

President Trump next week will host French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House, marking the first state visit since Trump took office last year.

 

The Macrons' visit, to celebrate nearly 250 years of U.S.-French relations, will be headlined by a White House state dinner on Tuesday.

 

The White House has said little about the dinner and surrounding events, sticking to the tradition of trying to maintain an element of surprise for guests.

 

On Monday, the president and first lady Melania Trump will dine privately with Macron and his wife, Brigitte, at Mount Vernon, the home of America's first president, George Washington, on the banks of the Potomac River in Virginia. The White House said the setting will serve as a reminder of France's "unique status" as America's first ally.

 

Trump ended his first year without receiving a foreign leader on a state visit, making him the first president in nearly 100 years to do so.

 

The guest list of about 150 includes Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund; House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.; and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

 

"It sounds like what they're planning will be spectacular," said Jeremy Bernard, who was White House social secretary in 2014, the last time the U.S. feted a French president.

 

In a break with tradition, Trump, a Republican, has not invited any journalists or Democratic members of Congress, said a White House official who was not authorized to discuss the arrangements.

Fans Questions Kanye's Praise Of Right Wing Commentator Candace Owens

 

The Twitterverse appears to be concerned and maybe even a little bewildered over Kanye's latest tweet. Kanye West praised a known conservative commentator Candace Owens. For those who are unfamiliar, Owens is a political pundit that makes the rounds on Conservative airwaves where she provides right-leaning commentary to offset left-leaning or liberal remarks. Her twitter bio describes her, and I quote, as a "lover of toxic masculinity."

 

Kanye followed his endorsement of Candace Owens with another tweet that simply read "only free thinker." It's unknown whether Kanye is expressing conservative or merely commending disparate views in America. For what it's worth, his fans make up a fairly "liberal" umbrella and were displeased with his announcement. A few Twitter users even went out of their way to pull out Candace's record of "transgressions." Another well-followed Twitter user reminded fans that Candace was a Police Brutality Apologist.

 

 

News of his public endorsement rapidly made its way toward Owens who retweeted and then responded with pure elation. Candace confessed her admiration for Kanye, unmasking herself as an avid fan. She then suggested they take a private meeting to discuss their relative views. Stay glued to twitter, the storm has barely started.
