President Trump hosted the annual Iftar dinner, a feast of breaking bread common for Muslims during the month of Ramadan, at the White House Thursday evening.

The dinner came as war rages in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas after a fragile ceasefire, brokered by the U.S., Qatar and Egypt, was halted in Gaza as Israel pushes the Palestinian militant group to release hostages taken during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on its southern border.

The White House is also under pressure after a Signal group chat with top Trump administration officials about recent strikes in Yemen inadvertently included a prominent journalist. The breach has prompted concerns about national security and whether the information was classified.

The dinner was scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. EDT.

1. What was on the menu? I'd bet something inappropriate was served.

Going on past precedent, I’m guessing a local McD was commanded by excretive order to procure some quantity of McRib patties from a frozen food facility. Only half-kidding.

3. Plus one for "excretive order"! . . . nt

15. The McRib is pork adjacent.

Sort of like Orange Julius Ceasar himself.

[EYESORE 9001]

16. Just who is the purveyor of this pork-like product?

On second thought, I really don’t wanna know

[Hugin]

17. Is porkish a word?

It certainly ‘aughta be.

2. Our "Muslim loving" president

The fact that he has the balls to stand there in the room after having insulted Muslims in the past is incredible. More incredible are the Muslims who stand in the room in lieu of this man's vitriolic history towards Muslims is even worse. More incredible are all the Muslims who voted for him in the first place!

4. Was ICE waiting for the participants as they left?

7. Religion.

Meh.

[AmericaUnderSiege]

8. Now this is funny.

This is like those diplomatic events Hitler had where he had to make polite small-talk with African leaders. You just wish there was video of him so you could watch him squirming.

[Aristus]

9. Well, they did help get him elected.

Who knew that Trump knew how to say 'thank you'?
