It's their event, not Trump's. Trump is hijacking it. The president is just invited and typically attends out of respect
Id agree with Acosta. Go, but walk out if Trump makes a scene. 2 can play his game

I think he hijacked it to have a false flag in order to get the ballroom built.

Yeah, he wants to not go out in public. Even if we were to believe it's not a false flag, gone are the days where a president literally gets shot and finishes his speech. Instead, we have this coward

The first thing he spoke about after 9/11 was his tower being tallest. He didn’t orchestrate that. He’s just a narcissist. He doesn’t need a reason for his ballroom, he’s already doing it. He knocked down the East Wing with zero permission.

He will never be able to live down the roasting he took from Barack Obama at that dinner in 2011. It is probably likely to be Trump’s villain origin story. I love to give it a watch again from time to time. See the man squirming and grimacing, waving back. It’s a beautiful thing.
