The whole ballroom narrative is both disingenuous and bizarre. MAGA is over the top about it.
The WHCD wouldn’t be held in Trumps new bunker, it’s a private group and .gov doesn’t sponsor it. It’s also not big enough
It also doesn’t solve NFL, WFC, Rallies, and other events.
It’s a red herring and it’s weird
See here:
DOJ just turned a shooting into a sales pitch.
Not evidence. Not analysis. A pitch.“Drop your lawsuit or you’re endangering Trump.”
That’s the argument.
They’re selling a false binary (Hilton vs. ballroom), ignoring real security options,and using fear to bulldoze legal scrutiny.
A security failure becomes proof the plan was right all along?That’s not logic. That’s narrative control.
The dumbest thing about using the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting as an excuse to build Trump's ballroom is that it couldn't have been held there.
2600 journalists and guests attended.
The Washington Hilton ballroom has a capacity of 4150.
Proposed ballroom seats 650 people.
