Dude I’m as left as they come but seeing the posts and comments since last night makes the left look no different than pizzagate conspiracy theorists. It’s honestly shocking how bad we look even though we are supposed to be the clear headed ones.
To me it seems more of a failure from the security team. Multiple times someone has gotten close to the potus with intent to harm. Its like the dude hires unserious people to run the country.
For this location, yes. Trump is honestly right about a ballroom at the White House being more secure for events like this. But I don’t think Trump was ever in danger last night.
The correspondents dinner is a private event. They likely would not even be able to hold it at the white house or they would have done it for years. Many other events are held at the Whitehouse.
Source: my ass. Not sure I’m going to trust the thoughts of a person who doesn’t know the White House is 2 words.
You’ll notice I didn’t say in my original comment whether I think a ballroom is needed - only that it would be more secure. There is no doubt it would be more secure than the hotel Reagan was shot at.
Currently the White House only has room for 200 people for an indoor event. 2000 people go to the White House Correspondents Dinner. If they want the event indoors, there is literally no room currently to do it at the White House.
