Relationship, the special relationship. This does not sound like candidate donald trump who on made fun of the french when he was running for president. This certainly is a sign of how he has grown in office, at least in one respect here. Now he has a new friend on the world stage, and he indeed is the president of france. Also the new president of france. So im struck by that as he really has developed this bond here. But i assume that this is one of many state dinners to come, but it certainly has taken them slightly longer than other president s in their first year, anderson. Kate, as far as the event goes, the first lady really took a lead on the decision. Reporter on all of it. To add to jeffs point, i think the state dinner probably happened so late in the legislation was the first lady wasnt living in the white house, really, until june. She wanted a hand in this. It takes months to plan. She has been working on it for months. She chose everything from the china, which is the cl
