In an odd twist, President Donald Trump made an argument for his ballroom after a shooting broke out at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD). The event at the Washington Hilton Hotel was alleged by many reporters in attendance to have lax security measures.
Trump posted on his social media, “What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.”
