Addressing the bipartisan crowd on the White House lawn, Trump seemed to allude to a recent dust-up between himself and Paul, who has vocally opposed the GOP’s budget and the $45 million military parade for the Army’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, which is also Trump’s 79th birthday.

President Trump posted on social media to invite Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul to the Congressional Picnic. The post came after Sen. Paul claimed the White House revoked his invitation following disputes over the Republican budget bill.
