Donald Trump claims last night’s shooting would "never have happened" if a "large, safe and secure ballroom" was built on the grounds of the White House.
"It cannot be built fast enough," he said in a statement on Truth Social . "While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is, plus, there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in, and is inside the gates of the most secure building in the world, the White House."
It comes after a judge halted the construction of Trump’s White House ballroom earlier this month.
