Breaking with tradition, the White House under President Donald Trump did not host an iftar dinner, the meal Muslims eat to break their daily fast during Ramadan.
The dinner, which has been often attended by prominent members of the U.S. Muslim community, began in 1996 during former President Bill Clinton’s White House tenure and continued throughout George W. Bush Jr . and Barack Obama's administrations.
The statement read in full:
"On behalf of the American people, Melania and I send our warm greetings to Muslims as they celebrate Eidal-Fitr. Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity. Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping neighbors and breaking bread with people from all walks of life. During this holiday, we are reminded of the importance of mercy, compassion, and goodwill. With Muslims around the world, the United States renews our commitment to honor these values. Eid Mubarak".

President Jefferson hosted the first iftar in 1805. But it's a good thing that President Trump stops it. You can still remember that last December, one of their sheikhs said any moslem wishing merry Christmas to Christians deserves death. Therefore, why would any reasonable person eat with them
My Man. Go TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Muslim's around the world would reduce their acts of barbarism
They are just animals... Fasting don't change them
