"Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement & every President for the last 150 years have been DEMANDING a ballroom" [View all]

Trump doubled down on his ballroom demands on Sunday morning, posting to Truth Social that “this event would never have happened” if the ballroom was already built.

“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,” he wrote. “It cannot be built fast enough!”
