Trump of course took advantage on the
00:00:01
aftermath of the shooting. He was quick
00:00:03
to say the incident underscored the need
00:00:04
for his $400 million White House
00:00:06
ballroom. He argued that if the event
00:00:08
had been held in a military top secret
00:00:10
ballroom, whatever that is, the shooting
00:00:12
never would have happened. It's not just
00:00:14
Trump. Every single one of his lackeyis
00:00:16
messaged the same thing about the
00:00:18
ballroom. There's no question they need
00:00:20
a ballroom at the White House. I've gone
00:00:21
there a million times and it's really
00:00:23
underwhelming as a as a facility, but
00:00:26
it's not linked. Why link it suddenly
00:00:28
here? and and it just seemed like, oh,
00:00:30
any opportunity of a disaster or tragedy
00:00:33
to push for something that is
00:00:35
unreasonable to have a ballroom, it's
00:00:37
unreasonable how he did it and then use
00:00:40
this as an excuse to do so. Every
00:00:42
opportunity is an opportunity to either
00:00:45
shine up himself as this hero of some
00:00:47
sort or to get what he wants. And that
00:00:49
to me is not how America works.
