Associated Press/Evan Vucci President Trump is set to host his first state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday. In a departure from tradition, the event is not open to Democratic members of Congress or the media. Four Republican lawmakers are slated to attend. Trump is also the first president since Calvin Coolidge not to host a state dinner within the first year of his presidency. President Trump's first state dinner will exclude congressional Democrats and members of the media in a sharp departure from tradition, Politico reported Friday.
