Sorry, 53 percent of white women that voted for the current president, but Donald Trump is a rich white mans president. Hes aligned himself with the hatred held by poor, white, middle and Southern Americans to motivate them to the polls, and every now and then, he throws them a bone to remind them that hes still a leader in hate.

Not celebrating Eid al-Fitr with a dinner at the White House is just that. Its a presidential bone to xenophobes who openly hate Muslims, and a reassurance that Donald Trump is still a xenophobe in chief who openly hates Muslims.

The White House had held a Eid al-Fitr feast, which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, every year since President Bill Clintons tenure. However, current Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly rejected a request to hold a reception, theBBC reports.

Despite numerous studies that show that Americas biggest terrorists have always been and arguably always will be white men; like black-on-black violence, or the scary Muslim myth, the demagogue in chief continues to lead his tribe down a path of hate because this is what he does.

One thing about Trump that remains consistent is his hate. He hates anything not white. His campaign into the White House was soaked in anti-Muslim rhetoric. Currently,the Supreme Court is deciding on the constitutionality of the presidents proposed Muslim travel ban. Trump even went so far as to request surveillance of U.S.-based mosques, the BBC reports.

The president did issue an empty statement as a hollow gesture to celebrate the end of Ramadan.

On behalf of the American people, Melania and I send our warm greetings to Muslims as they celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the statement read, BBC reports.

Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity. Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping neighbors and breaking bread with people from all walks of life.

During this holiday, we are reminded of the importance of mercy, compassion and goodwill. With Muslims around the world, the United States renews our commitment to honor these values. Eid Mubarak.

One of the easiest ways to know that the president had nothing to do with this statement is that nothing was misspelled. It also didnt mention Hillary Clinton or her emails.

The president didnt hold Eid dinner because he is openly a horrible person, and part of me believes thats a good thing, because all of us nonwhite people know where we stand with this administration and its mission to Make America Hate Again.

Here's Why Donald Trump Ended the Eid Dinner Tradition - The Root

U.S. government officials are trying to curbPresident Donald Trumps enthusiasmaboutmeetingRussian counterpart Vladimir Putinat the upcoming G20 summit in Germany, the Associated Press reported.

Trump has not metPutin since being elected last year, despite his claim thathe could meet the Russian leader even before being inaugurated. Now heis keen to hold a full bilateral meeting, two U.S. administration officials, one current and one former,told AP. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Such a meeting would involve agreeing on a designated space for it, allowing media accessand other diplomatic protocols involved in meetings between two heads of state.

Due to ongoing allegations by the U.S. intelligence community of Russian interference in the U.S. election and a scandal about possible collusion within Trumps team, not everyone in the White House thinks such a meeting is prudent.

State Department and National Security Council officials have asked Trump to consider a more low-profile introduction to the Russian president and perhaps avoid an extended conversation altogether, AP reported.

Among the recommendations are a brief and informal pull-aside on the summits sidelines,and a meeting ofU.S. and Russian delegations for strategic stability talksa format which may or may not involve heads of state.

There is no official confirmationon Moscows or Washingtons side that a meeting in any form has been agreed upon, butPutin and Trump will both attend the summit.

Commenting on the AP report, Putins spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that as far as a possible meeting was concerned, the protocol side of it is secondary. He let on little about Moscow'sawareness of Washingtons ambivalence toward the scale of the meeting but said that in any case there will be a chance to meet. The two governments had not yet ironed out further details about a meeting, he added.

Russia has vociferously denied involved in the U.S. election, and a visibly irate Putin accused U.S. journalists of hysteria on the subject earlier this month.

The 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump

"We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will Make America Great Again!"

- PresidentDonald J. Trump

Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story, setting the standards of excellence in his business endeavors, and now, for the United States of America.

A graduate of the Wharton School of Finance, President Trump has always dreamed big and pushed the boundaries of what is possible his entire career, devoting his life to building business, jobs and the American Dream. This was brought to life by a movement he inspired in the people of America when he announced his candidacy for President of the United States in June 2015.

This movement would ultimately lead to one of the most unique Presidential campaigns in history. Ever the leader, Trump followed no rule book and took his message, Make America Great Again directly to the people. Campaigning in historically democratic states and counties across the country, Trump was elected President in November 2016 in the largest electoral college landslide for a Republican in 28 years.

President Trump is working hard to implement his America First platform, continuing his promise to the American people to lower taxes, repeal and replace Obamacare, end stifling regulations, protect our borders, keep jobs in our country, take care of our veterans, strengthen our military and law enforcement, and renegotiate bad trade deals, creating a government of, by and for the people.

He is making America First, again, restoring our nations faith, ushering in a bright, new future now and for generations to come.

Born in Columbus, Indiana, Mike Pence had a front row seat to the American Dream. A family of Irish immigrants, Vice President watched his grandparents and parents build everything that matters a family, a business, and a good name. He was raised to believe in the importance of hard work, faith, and family.

After meeting the love of his life, Second Lady Karen Pence, and graduating law school, Vice President Pence led the Indiana Policy Review Foundation and hosted a syndicated talk radio show focused on Indiana public affairs. Along the way, he became the proud father to three children.

In 2000, he launched a successful bid for his local congressional seat, entering the United States House of Representatives at the age of 40. After serving in Congress for 12 years, Vice President was elected the 50th Governor of Indiana in 2012. It was Indianas success story, his record of legislative and executive experience, and his strong family values that prompted President Donald Trump to select Mike Pence as his running mate in July 2016.

Since being elected on November 8, 2016, Vice President Mike Pence remains grateful for the grace of God, the love and support of his family, and the blessings of liberty that are every Americans birthright. He looks forward to working with the American people as together they seek to Make America Great Again.

About | Donald J Trump

The 43-year-old Ryan, who failed to unseat Pelosi as House minority leader last year, says that the Democrats brand is toxic, and in some places worse than Trumps. Which is beyond pathetic.

The Republicans have a wildly unpopular, unstable and untruthful president, and a Congress that veers between doing nothing and spitting out vicious bills, while the Democratic base is on fire and appalled millennials are racing away from Trump. Yet Democrats are stuck in loser gear.

Trumps fatal flaw is that he cannot drag himself away from the mirror. But Democrats cannot bear to look in the mirror and admit what is wrong.

We congenitally believe that our motives are pure and our goals are right, Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, told me. Therefore, we should win by default. But, he added dryly: Youve got to run a good campaign. In elections, politics matter. Oooh, what a surprise.

As Ryan sighs: If you dont win, you dont have power, and you cant help on any of these issues we care about.

Democrats cling to an idyllic version of a new progressive America where everyone tools around in electric cars, serenely uses gender-neutral bathrooms and happily searches the web for the best Obamacare options. In the Democrats vision, people are doing great and getting along. It is the opposite of Trumps dark diorama of carnage and dystopia but just as false a picture of America.

With Jon Ossoff, as with Hillary Clinton, the game plan was surfing contempt for Trump and counting on the elusive Obama coalition. Heavy Hollywood involvement is not necessarily a positive in Georgia, though. Alyssa Milano drove voters to the polls but couldnt bewitch the Republicans. And not living in the district is bad anywhere.

Democrats are going to have to come up with something for people to be for, rather than just counting on Trump to implode. (Which he will.) The party still seems flummoxed that there are big swaths of the country where Democrats once roamed that now regard the Democratic brand as garbage and its long-in-the-tooth leadership as overstaying its welcome. The vibe is suffocating. Wheres the fresh talent?

In a new piece in The Atlantic, Emanuel and Bruce Reed who engineered their partys last takeover of Congress in 2006, the first since 1994 argue that Democrats need to channel their anger and make 2018 a referendum on Trumps record, not his impeachment.

In dwindling swing districts, Emanuel told me, Democrats need to choose candidates who are pro-middle class, not merely pro-poor.

They cant just waltz in and win seats held by Republicans. And they cant go full Bernie. They have to drum up suburban candidates who reflect their districts, Emanuel says, noting that they wrenched back control of Congress by recruiting a football player in North Carolina, an Iraq veteran in Pennsylvania and a sheriff in Indiana.

Its shocking that Hillary couldnt be bothered to come up with an economic message or any rationale other than Its My Turn. Hillary never got a real message out, Michael Bloomberg, who eviscerated Trump at Hillarys convention, told Anderson Cooper. It was Dont vote for that guy and the gender issue. Whereas Donald had us saying Make America Great Again.

Ryan says Democrats need to stop microtargeting. They talked to a black person about voting rights, a brown person about immigration, a gay about gay rights, a woman about choice and on and on, slicing up the electorate, he said. But they forgot that first and foremost, people have to pay their mortgages and get affordable health care.

He also urged his fellow Democrats to stop obsessing about Trump and Russia and start obsessing on globalization, automation and wage stagnation.

The crazy thing is that theres a great opportunity here, because neither party has figured out how to thrive in the new economy, he said.

Carrier and Boeing, where Trump visited to boast about saving jobs, announced layoffs last week, and Ford is shifting some production to China. And news flash for Donald: King Coal has been dethroned.

Trump leveraged his wealth to convince working-class people that he could deal with these changes, Ryan said. But just saying, The Chinese rent from me, doesnt mean hes figured this stuff out.

Trump may be nuts enough to blow up the world. But the Democrats are nuts if they think his crazy is enough to save them.

Donald Skunks the Democrats - New York Times

No one really thinks the Trump Administration wants to send kids to the factories and sweatshops, but last nights Minorgate was good for more than a few social media laughs anyway.

In case you missed it, a now-deleted video posted on the presidents official Facebook page included a clip of Donald Trumps speech from Fridays rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during which Trump extolled the virtues of clean, beautiful coal and boasted of putting our miners back to work.

Well, thats what he said, but whoever captioned the video wrote minors, a silly, un-spell-checkable gaffe that prompted a day-long barrage of social media snark (and, who knows, maybe a resume or two departing the White House video team).

Here are some of the zings and we save the best for last, so read on

And this:

But the best by far is this much-shared clip from 1999s Galaxy Quest, with the late, great Alan Rickman delivering the line to Tony Shalhoub that was on the tip of a nations tongue all day. Enjoy:
