Trump’s Ballroom Is a Gift for Democrats

Dan Pfeiffer: “After the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Trump went to the White House briefing room to address the press and the nation.”

“In that moment, Trump could have called for national unity or decried the disturbing rise in political violence. He could have talked about the need for everyone to ratchet down the political rhetoric. I know this is crazy, but he could have even called for changes to our gun laws.”

“He did none of those things.”

“Instead, Trump used the moment when he had the nation’s attention — and the sympathy and concern of many people who disagree with him — to push for the construction of the White House ballroom.”
