in front of the Obamas?

Watch for The Queen to drop her fur coat-- so royal AND sexy!

Miss them all!

I've seen it several times now, and it seems more powerful at each watching.

Tears of joy for the beauty of that and tears of rage at how far we've fallen

been appreciative of the arts--whether it be singers, artists or whatever--Broadway. Really, the only art that the Trump family knows is how to make money.

Have they ever set foot in a museum or a theater just for the pleasure of enjoying art? I doubt it very much.

Have them sit in the balcony, in places of honor. I realize that Papa Bush is likely a no-go, but with the rest there, respect will be paid to the artists.

of SHITE.

Nothing in it for him.

so I'm glad the two deplorables aren't going to be there. Besides, can you imagine Cher keeping her mouth shut if she had to be in the same room as him? And then there's the fact that he'd have to pretend to clap his tiny hands for a dark-skinned person.

The two of them have zero culture anyway.

Trump used to love hanging out with celebrities and getting face-time at affairs like this, and I bet Melania enjoyed dressing up and going to fancy parties. Now that they've become the most hated people in the sane world, I'm sure they're bitter at having the same two choices: stay hidden or hobnob with the likes of Ted Nugent... again.

He adored being around celebs and anyone rich and famous. He really hates poor people. It was reported several times that he hates not hobknobbing with Hollywood and she feels like prisoner in their apartment and in the White House.

He was tolerated before even though he was crass and classless because he gave good parties, but now even the most apolitical celebrity will know not to be seen with him if they want to stay popular.

I've noticed that unlike democratic presidents who take a short vacation then move on to the next project in their life - normally something that helps a segment of society, which keeps them in the news, etc. republicans tend to almost outright retire and disappear from the public eye. I wonder how much of it is their doing and how much of it is the party. They say democrats fall in love with their candidates, but republicans fall in line so after a republican's term is up, the party doesn't have any more use for them, and especially if they were perceived as unsuccessful like both Bushes, their treatment of their former presidents run from ignoring them to almost outright shunning.

Donald isn't the retiring type - especially when it comes to being in the public eye. So it will be interesting to see how the rest of the party treats him once he's out of office.

I heard it during the election coverage.

It will make viewing this event more enjoyable.

...be restless and want to leave after 15 minutes. It won’t be about him.

I've said that several times here on DU. You could see it coming. He and Melania are shut off from the parties and celebs and they hate it. Now she's apparently calling some of the personnel moves.

They're just as dangerous.

This is the guy who's afraid of some artists and musicians not praising him ardently?

With both Presidents Clinton and Obama, their evident enjoyment and appreciation of the artists really made it fun to watch. Even the Bushes (especially George HW) seemed to like it.

Even if the audience was circumspect and left him alone, I simply can't see Trump sitting still without fidgeting and getting restive. Have you ever heard him quote an author, or say he liked a movie or play? Does he seem to have any music that he likes?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has Trump invited ANY artists to the WH? I don't think has invited any musicians, poet readings, theatrical performances.
