Trump turns the WHCD shooting into a pitch for the White House ballroom
""This event would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom," he wrote on Truth Social."
""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.""
""It's actually a larger room and it's much more secure," Trump stated about the proposed ballroom during a press conference."
Following an armed gunman's attempt to enter the White House Correspondents Dinner, President Trump leveraged the incident to promote his ballroom project. He criticized the security of the Washington Hilton, stating it was not secure enough. During a press conference, he emphasized the need for a larger and more secure ballroom at the White House. The next day, he reiterated his demands on Truth Social, claiming that the incident underscored the necessity for a safe venue on White House grounds.
