They were given condolences and multiple offers of hot chocolate and squeezeable-huggy-bears to cuddle with afterwards. They still have not recovered 7 months later and have not accepted Trump as their President.

I first heard the word 'snowflake' in the t.v. series Prison Break, where the character Michael Scofield, was called a snowflake by another inmate.

imo, it is over used, like wow, i just heard and i must use this new word in a sentence ...

And I don't want him wasting my tax dollars going on vacation every single weekend. That takes much more time and money than hosting one dinner that has been a tradition of the White House for a long time. But since the dinner is not all about him, he is doing away with it also.

To continue the tradition would be a show of respect.

Obama golfing was a constant source of material for cartoonists!

If anything, his people will have a fit if he does not light a Christmas tree, or a menorah. As for me, I believe in separation of church and state, I would not have religious ornamentation on government property.
This is a silly request because birthdays are linked to the birth of love and peace
Christ is the symbol of love and peace
While Muslim holidays are a symbol of hatred and terrorism
I believe that the majority of the American people believe in birth
Muslims are a minority and can not equate them with the majority in everything
Islam is an abnormal phenomenon in the American body
That's why I say it's a ridiculous request

Fantastic Mr Trump
The mushroom dinner at the White House is free propaganda for Islam
I believe that Muslims do not break the love and peace, but they break the curse of the people of the book of the Jews and Christians and the unbelievers

Yes, good for him, indeed. But we could have done without the clearly PC-induced celebratory statement.

That would have never happened but for the daily pummeling he has had to endure from the unhinged left since he announced he was running, and especially upon taking office. It's easy to understand his feeling the need to throw a few bones out to the great unwashed in an attempt to keep some semblance of peace in the streets, though that is a slippery slope with the tragic ending we see in Europe

Still, forgoing the dinner is a big step in the right direction.

Plenty of Jews in NYC celebrate Christmas.
