Trump Uses WHCD Shooting To Promote His Planned $400 Million BallroomPresident Donald Trump used Saturday's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to promote his planned ballroom.While giving details about the shooting at a late-night White House press briefing, Trump — dressed in a tuxedo — made the argument for a $400 million ballroom he plans to construct on the site of the former East Wing that he tore down."We looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight, and I will say that it’s not a particularly secure building," Trump said about the Washington Hilton, where a gunman was captured after firing shots during the event."And uh, I didn’t want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we’re planning at the White House," he continued.Trump said the new ballroom will be "drone proof." "It’s actually a larger room and it’s much more secure," Trump said. "It's got — it’s drone proof, it’s bulletproof glass. That’s why the Secret Service, the military, are demanding it."See All UpdatesClose
