Donald Trump went out to dinner Tuesday night in Washington. It was the first time he had done so since his return to the White House last January and one of the rare occasions he has gone out since eight years ago, when he first became president of the United States and often went to Trump Tower, the hotel he owned in the city and sold in 2022.
Peter Kafka: My operating theory for all of the seating decisions is that the people closest to Trump are both 1) the most powerful people in tech, but also 2) people Trump recognizes. Like, I'm pretty sure he couldn't pick Alexandr Wang of Scale AI (now Meta) or Mark Pincus of Zynga out of any lineups. So to the end of the table they go!
