In the Trump White House, normality is the new scandal. Or rather, it feels almost unnerving when the president and his ilk throw a relatively low-key state dinner, particularly in the midst of an unfurling scandal with Ukraine. Friday night in the Rose Garden at least, the Trumps played host to Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and spouse Jennifer Morrison, alongside a diverse and oddball guest list that included Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, Stephen Miller and reported girlfriend Katie Waldman, and Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy.

The event—only the second state dinner for the Trump White House after hosting French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife in 2018 —took place in a Rose Garden adorned with gold and green colors to symbolize the bond between the U.S. and Australia. Even first lady Melania Trump’s off-season muted seafoam green J. Mendel dress seemed to understate the importance of the evening affair. Earlier on Friday Melania donned an ice blue dress by Australian designer Scanlan Theodore to welcome Morrison and his wife.

Also among the evening’s eclectic patchwork of political figures, celebrities and guests were Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Fox News personality Lou Dobbs; Marvel CEO and Trump donor Ike Perlmutter, Attorney General William Barr, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, presidential counsel Kellyanne Conway (sans husband George, a notable Trump critic), and more. Golfer Greg Norman was also in attendance, joking off reporter questions of the president’s golf habit with a quip, “Nobody can golf too much.”

Perhaps in spite of a CNN slip-up admitting Trump’s role in pressing Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden’s son, Rudy Giuliani joined the festivities with date Maria Ryan. Asked about the infamous interview (once again) implicating his boss in less-than-reputable foreign policy, Giuliani reportedly chuckled off the question.

For the most part, the evening continued apace. Both President Trump and Prime Minister Morrison gave dueling toasts to the 101-year relationship between the two countries, with Trump remarking, “This evening, we honor every Aussie and American hero who has paid the supreme sacrifice so that we might live in safety and in peace.” Morrison compared Trump with former president Teddy Roosevelt—both unconventional New Yorkers—noting “He was no captive of the establishment. He was also accomplished; indeed some might say a maverick. He was his own man, he was a doer.”

The flattery was otherwise peppered by a menu of sunchoke ravioli, dover sole with parsley crisps, zucchini squash blossoms and lady apple tart. No McDonald’s spread or Chick-fil-A for this crowd, it seems.
