Trump's State Dinner Unites Conservative Elite—But Liberal Justices Skip It
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump's state dinner guest list Tuesday night was heavy on business leaders, tech CEOs and friends from Palm Beach, Florida.
All six conservative Supreme Court justices made the list - even those whom Trump has criticized for voting to strike down his signature tariffs. The three liberals on the bench were not at the dinner.
A slew of stars from Fox News, Trump's favorite cable network, and two other conservative outlets attended the dinner. Three of the president's five children were in the room with their spouses, as was his father-in-law. A couple of big sports names made the list, as did a number of lawmakers, including the leaders of the House and Senate.
