“It’s nice to be at a party I didn’t have to plan,” said Rickie Niceta, President Donald Trump’s social secretary, to other social secretaries and guests at a party in her honor July 17 at Meridian International Center, due north of the White House on 16th Street. There were social secretaries from 50 embassies here and those who worked for presidents. For years, Niceta worked for Design Cuisine — so, yes, the food was top-flight.
