When asked about the ballroom Donald Trump is completely obsessed with, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has told reporters it’s one of his main priorities — and it’s necessary for national security. After the apprehension of an alleged shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, Trump has enlisted his allies to ramp up calls for his vanity project, like GOP Senator Lindsey Graham.
Susan J. Demas and Edwin Eisendrath look into this push for a project no ones asked for and the “let them eat cake” moment this is when Americans, especially our children, have to routinely do lockdown drills because of persistent threats of gun violence.
Plus, Donald Trump needs someone to blame for the attack against him, so naturally, Jimmy Kimmel is his go-to. Susan and Edwin discuss the irony of attacking a comedian’s First Amendment rights in the aftermath of an event meant to celebrate the First Amendment.
Get caught up with Edwin and Susan here on Lincoln Square and be sure to let us know your plans for May Day and how you plan to protest.
