Trump praises White House at annual dinner

President Donald Trump on Thursday praised the White House as “a place that I’ve grown to love and respect” as he and first lady Melania Trump host the White House Historical Association’s annual dinner.

Trump described the building as a “house like no other” that conjures “beauty,” “warmth,” “power” and sometimes “coldness.”

The White House Historical Association is a nonprofit association founded in the early 1960s by

Jacqueline Kennedy.

The group’s president, Stewart D. Mclaurin, said it was “pleased to be honored by the White House for the work we undertake.”
