Trump thanks Secret Service, renews call for ballroom after White House shooting
by Max Rego 05/24/26 07:45 AM ET
President Trump early Sunday thanked the Secret Service for their actions in neutralizing an armed man who exchanged shots with officers outside the White House on Saturday and argued that the incident shows the importance of the under-construction White House ballroom.

The latest shooting on Saturday goes to show how important it is, for all future Presidents, to get, what will be, the most safe and secure space of its kind ever built in Washington, D.C., Trump said.
The National Security of our Country demands it! Trump added, referring to the ballroom.

However, he DOES OWE US for the East Wing and the Rose Garden which were perfectly fine for all of our previous Presidents. They now must be restored because Chump destroyed them for no good reason ... except that he's an asshole.

(2,760 posts)of a magnet for malcontented shooters is not a good idea. A resorts clubhouse would be much safer and much less costly. The ballroom as planned is a bad idea.

(260 posts)On the condition that he loads himself, his entire family, his administration and all the criminals he has pardoned into that big assed bribe airplane and flies to somewhere far far away where we would never have to see or hear from him ever again. I think it would be money well spent.

The donOLD doesnt realize that most people in the US and around the world arent ~ how do I put this delicately? ~ arent worried too much about his safety. The only person who cares is the Donald himself.

Expect to see continuing, "assassination attempts," until trump gets what he wants.

(12,788 posts)Niccolò Machiavellis quote that's frequently repeated.
And one of the most efficacious remedies that a prince can have against conspiracies is not to be hated and despised by the people, for he who conspires against a prince always expects to please them by his removal.
He also said,
Therefore the best fortress is to be found in the love of the people, for although you may have fortresses they will not save you if you are hated by the people.
And pedo Trump is the most hated US president in history of this country.
Everyone is plotting against him. Even the average mentally unstable person, kicked out of a psychiatric facility, who admired and loved the East Wing of the old White House wants to attack the pedo.
