 President Donald Trump spent Saturday evening out in his new neighborhood. 

The president left the White House at mid-evening Saturday, his limousine covering the short distance to the luxury hotel bearing his name, the Trump International Hotel.

A photo captured Trump in mid-sentence, sitting around a table with his daughter Ivanka and her husband, senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, British politician Nigel Farage and Florida Governor Rick Scott.  

Farage was invited to the dinner last minute, Benny Johnson, creative director of online news outlet Independent Journal Review, posted on Twitter.

The former United Kingdom Independence party (Ukip) leader recently spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), saying that the Brexit vote and Trump's election had launched a 'great global revolution'.

'2016, we did it!' boomed the former head of Britain's UK Independence Party. We witnessed the beginning of a global political revolution.

'And it's one that is not going to stop, it's one that is going to roll out across the rest of the great world.' 

Farage told audience members that he's proud of having supported Trump in the election.

Since then, Farage has ingratiated himself with Trump, who suggested the UK make ambassador to the US. 

Farage also blasted US mainstream media for being 'in deep denial' about Trump's victory, but said Americans as a whole will grow to appreciate the new president.

'Just as Brexit becomes more popular by the day, President Trump will become more popular in America by the day,' he said.

Trump was cheered for his decision to forego tradition and skip the annual event on April 29.

He will be the first president not to attend in 36 years - in 1981 Ronald Reagan was recovering after being shot.

The annual dinner has only been cancelled or downsized before due to death or other major global events. 

His announcement comes amid growing tensions between his administration and media outlets. 

Trump attended the dinner in 2011 with his wife Melania where he was repeatedly mocked by then-president Barack Obama.

He skipped the dinner in 2016 during the presidential campaign where Obama again took aim at the then-candidate, saying: 'I'm a little hurt that he's not here tonight. It's surprising. You got a room full of reporters, celebrities, cameras, and he says no.'

The White House Correspondents' Association is an organization of journalists whose job it is to cover the acting president. 

Multiple major news networks such as CNN, the New Yorker, and Vanity Fair had already announced that they were thinking about not attending the annual dinner.

It comes as Trump has quickly made himself known as an 'anti-press' president, having criticized many major news networks as being 'fake news'.  

Trump's 35-year-old daughter Ivanka, on the other hand, has been a media darling.

As rumors continue to swirl that she and her husband are influencing Trump's legislation, the couple were all smiles Saturday afternoon as they left their Washington, DC, home with their three children. 

Ivanka wore a white button-down shirt, black leggings and white sneakers as she stood on the sidewalk with Jared and their children, Arabella, Joseph and Theodore outside their $5.5million home in DC's Kalorama neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Jared looked relaxed in a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a baseball cap before donning a suit and tie for the evening dinner with the president and other political leaders at Trump International Hotel.  

The New York Times called the husband-wife duo 'the two most influential social liberals in President Trump’s inner circle'.  

While Kushner, 36, is Trump's senior White House adviser, Ivanka doesn't hold an official role in her father's presidential cabinet.

She has, however, been an unofficial moderator for the president and has appeared at various meetings alongside her dad. 

Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about Ivanka’s role if any, that she has within the administration.

Spicer said: 'I think her role is to be helpful and provide input on a variety of areas that she has deep, passionate concerns about, especially in the area of women in the workforce and empowering women. 

'She is someone who has a lot of expertise and wants to offer that, especially in the area of trying to help women.'
