Who is Senator Rand Paul's wife whom Donald Trump calls ' beautiful' amid 'petty clash' over budget?
Rand Paul said he only agrees with Donald Trump when the president calls his wife beautiful. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has been at odds with President Donald Trump on the spending bill as Paul sided with Elon Musk on this issue of calling the bill abominable. But his wife, political consultant Kelley Paul, appeared to be a peacemaker as Trump called him 'beautiful' and Rand Paul said this is the only thing about which he agrees with Donald Trump. Amid the ongoing clash, Rand Paul said his family got disinvited from the annual congressional picnic at the White House that was held yesterday. Paul called it very petty and said he had planned to bring his wife, son, daughter-in-law and 6-month-old grandson to the event. "I think I'm the first senator in the history of the United States to be uninvited to the White House picnic," the Kentucky senator told reporters. "Every Democrat will be invited, every Republican will be invited, but I will be the only one disallowed to come on the grounds of the White House." "I just find this incredibly petty," Paul said. "The level of immaturity is beyond words." "They've decided they want to declare war on my family and exclude us from the White House," he added, saying he was given no explanation. "We're just not welcome." Trump responded to the grievance and said the family 'of course' invited. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo "Of course Senator Rand Paul and his beautiful wife and family are invited to the BIG White House Party tonight.
