This official said Republicans were not concerned about the ethics of staging convention events at the White House and thought the American public would understand,ub particularly because the president’s travel options are limited by the pandemic. Republicans already have moved the convention celebrations from both Jacksonville, Fla., and Charlotte.

“I will probably do mine live from the White House,” Trump said Wednesday morning. “If for some reason somebody had difficulty with it, I could go with someplace else.”

When asked about Republican concerns over the legality of using the White House for a political event, Trump was dismissive. “It is legal,” he said during a Wednesday evening news conference.

3. They're right-- most Americans don't understand that government property is not to be used...

for political ends.

Congresscritters are required to leave their offices and head for a "neutral" office when talking to supporters or donors.

Trump has no concept of "boundaries".
