About these 400 people trump* supposedly has invited to his 'victory party' at the White House

Where, in the White House, is there a room big enough to accommodate that big of a crowd? And if there is one, is he also trying to hold a super spreader that also takes out the whole household staff?

I'm picturing a lot of invitees having sudden 'conflicting plans' leaving the event to resemble more of a 'last night with Hitler in the bunker' kind of gathering.

Perhaps my imagination is working overtime.

of those whom I most despise, e.g., ALL of his rotten spawn and their spouses/partners, Barr, Clarence Thomas, Amy Covid Basterisk, Betsy DeVos ... the list is literally endless.

People who might possibly keep Trump and his progeny's fat asses out of prison after January 20, 2021.

Don't know whether that's on account of space or a scaling down of a party that might not be much of a party.

few hundred people in there would definitely make it a super spreader event.

I'd love to know the REAL reason for him relocating it from the trump* plaza. My suspicion is he didn't want to have to face the press when he departed the event.

The sonic boom of white privilege times 250 will be a disharmonic mess as they first-hand witness the moment Trump descended into hyper-sore loser mode.

with a max seating capacity of 140. It's the largest room in the white house. I suspect the permanent staff and Natl Park police enforce the rules since this is a treasured historical site.

As usual Trump is lying.
