Tomorrow night, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will host their very first state dinner at the White House. Their guests of honor will be French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron.
The dinner will be a grand affair with 150 guests invited, including Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and IMF head Christine Lagarde.
Anticipation is growing for the event, and journalists all over town are itching to see just how well the Trumps put on such an important dinner. State dinners are widely seen as barometers for just how well a president gets along with other foreign leaders.
First Lady Melania Trump previewed a bit of the scenery for the dinner earlier today on Twitter:

But that’s not the best part. The French are famous for the gastronomy. And First Lady Trump isn’t aiming to disappoint! The menu for the dinner is full of plenty of exquisite offerings.
The Daily Mail provides all the scrumptious details:
The first lady’s office said Monday that the menu for Tuesday’s dinner would consist of: Goat Cheese Gateau, Tomato Jam, Buttermilk Biscuit Crumbles, Young Variegated Lettuces, Rack of Spring Lamb, Burnt Cipollini Soubise, Carolina Gold Rice Jambalaya, Nectarine Tart and Crème Fraîche Ice Cream.
Tomorrow’s meal is being prepared by White House Executive Chef Christeta Comerford.
China from both the Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush administrations will be used during the upscale meal.
My mouth is watering from just reading about it! But that’s not the coolest part. The dinner’s wine pairing is a really thoughtful selection from the First Lady:
Wine selection was also chosen with the French-American friendship in mind. The Domaine Serene Chardonnay “Evenstad Reserve” 2015 was grown from French plants from Dijon “that thrive in the volcanic Oregon soil.” The Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir “Laurène” 2014 “uses the motto ‘French soul–Oregon soil.'”
But it gets even better: the evening will end with entertainment from the Washington National Opera.
With First Lady Trump at the helm, the dinner should be a big success. Remember how well she decorated the White House for Christmas?
No doubt it will be a wonderful evening full of glamour and diplomacy.
What do you think? Will Melania put on a fantastic dinner for our French allies? Tell us your thoughts below!

Our beautiful and gracious First Lady did us proud at the State dinner for France’s President. Such style and class hasn’t been seen in the White House since Jackie Kennedy. She was gorgeous in Chanel and it’s wonderful to have a FLOTUS who doesn’t make you ask “Who shot the couch?” Her love for America comes shining through in everything she does–so refreshing after 8 years of that fat, shrieking, America-hating harridan we had to suffer through 8 long years of global embarrassment with her wardrobe disasters and churlish behavior.
No doubt the libturds are just beside themselves with all the good TRUMP is doing for us and the country….Don’t hate us cause you aint us!
Of course she will.She is so much above our last Presidents wife.
I almost forgot the social media where illiteracy, boorishness, and/or obscenity are too often the order of the day.
Sure, and the usual suspects will find numerous ways to trash the whole thing. You don’t have to wait for the stories to be written; you just have to apply the media’s normal standards of reporting in the Trump era and you’ll have it. Go Melania!
Love our classy first lady. She makes everything beautiful and everyone feel good. MAGA
So where’s my invitation?
Far too much of it sounds like it could gag a goat. I’m glad I wasn’t invited, lol
poopDavid: not a very classy remark. Somewhere in all of our ancestries we came from another country. The debate is my ancestors came legally and some were indentured servants for 8 years. we many are complaining about are those who do not come legally then expect the citizens of the United States ti feed, cloth, house and educate them and their children. Come legally and there are no problem. This also means that the individuals will have jobs where they pay taxes.
A great event put together by an immigrant to America.
What else can anyone expect, Melania is a class act! I’m sure it will be elegant.
Is anyone surprised that there is ice cream? Grin. A dinner like that would be torture to me. REALLY don’t like lamb. At least there is jambalaya! Not fond of opera, either.
Plus ketchup.
FLOTUS is exquisite and total class and will represent us better than even Jackie Kennedy! The Trumps are the Gold Standard and noone comes close to her style and preferences! GO FLOTUS! SO PROUD OF YOU! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++ THANK YOU!
Doris, you must have missed the news. No Democrats were invited!
I hope the Democrats don’t act like a bunch of ill mannered hoodlums shouting their one word vocabulary. It would be nice to show the world that Americans are congenial and well mannered. My mother was French and English, manners are very important. Emily Post was required reading when I was growing up.
As long as Donny gets his two scoops of ice cream, he’ll be a happy boy.
No argument here; a true dining/wining festival of political/cultural allies.
Very classy, elegant, and intelligent First Lady, first we have had since Nancy Reagan!
Certainly this will be at least as exquisite as Melania’s and Donald’s own past pre-election Din-Din’s held for His close circle of dignitaries, friends and associates. Did she redo the state dining room back to its traditional origins and get rid of that ugly modern ‘yellow’ thing? ‘Hope a hopa’ . . .! Don’t get me wrong. I love soul food.
Semper Fi . . .
I am thrilled to see what she will be wearing. Always tasteful and elegant. Something I was afraid would never be part of the White House again. Thank you, Melania.
Best part is no Democrats.
So very refreshing that we do not have to IMPORT Rap singers and hoochie mamas to entertain. Thankfully, our very CLASSY First Lady is utilizing local talent to entertain! Menu is very thoughtful to include France and also local cusine.
To Penny who left a comment: Interested to know where you’re from as you are the first person I’ve seen use the word “only” the way I do. Anyway, to the article: Both President Trump and the first lady are used to entertaining in a grand fashion and I’m sure everything will be beautiful. Difficult to compete with French food and wine, though. Oh, their breads and pastries and sauces…!
I have no doubt with Melania’s class that the meal will be spectacular & the dinner a huge success.
classy Lady
Of course she will. Melania’s well educated and if she needs to , she has access to style and food authorities the rest of us can can see only in our dreams, IMHO!
