Instead, the 3,000 or so attendees in the subterranean Washington Hilton ballroom got . . . a lecture from a historian. Not that there was anything wrong with that, for some. “I’ve been here a couple times and it’s certainly not as exciting as when you have the president here,” said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan , one of a handful of political types in attendance along with the journalists. “It’s unfortunate that so many people, the president and people in his administration are not here, but it’s still a great opportunity for so many people in the media and others to get together.
Trump also saw to it that none of his aides and advisers would enjoy the festivities, either. In another apparent paroxysm of peeve at those he calls “the enemy of the people,” the president decreed on Tuesday that no one from his administration would be allowed to attend, marking perhaps the first time in history that a president has ordered federal employees not to go to a party.
The result was a Saturday night history lesson from Ron Chernow, author of voluminous and much-praised biographies of Alexander Hamilton and Ulysses S. Grant. Chernow’s gently witty and well-received speech skipped lightly over presidential relations with the press through the centuries, with a few shots at the current commander in chief.
