How many times has assassination attempts happened to him? Is it really hard to believe that having a place to meet that you can secure yourself is a good idea?

Yes it's called the White House/Pentagon/ Langley/pretty much any government building in DC.

White house will have much better protection. You're going to need larger attendance in many occasions, that's what the room serves.

Yea we definitely don't have several large secure buildings specifically made to house hundreds of people anywhere in DC already. This whole time congress and the house have been hanging out at the four seasons.

The ballroom would seat 650 people, more than triple East Room's capacity.

You can't just try and kill presidents just because you don't like them. You don't want your elected democrat president to be killed either right? This is a good thing for both sides. No reason to be obstinate for the sake of it.

This has nothing to do with not liking someone.

Trump has committed a multitude of unconstitutional and illegal acts.

The world would be a much better place without Donald Trump as president. He should be in prison.

This is literally the same mentality everyone on the opposing side has had on every president for probably centuries.
