Trump will-hold his election night party inside the White House with up to 400 invitees.

President Trump’s election night party will be held in the East Room of the White House, and aides are discussing inviting roughly 400 people, according to two officials familiar with the discussions.

The party had been moved from the Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, the original venue chosen by the campaign, in part because of rules in Washington prohibiting gatherings of more than 50 people indoors to try to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Now, what had initially been expected to be a small gathering in the East Room has ballooned into a large indoor party with several hundred people expected.

The event is certain to raise questions about safety, given that the coronavirus spreads more easily in indoor spaces. An event on Sept. 26 for Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court, at which people were bunched together both indoors and outside in the Rose Garden, was widely seen by health experts as a point of spread of the virus.

A Super-Duper spreader event is a fitting epitaph for MF45's presidency

[pwb]

1. Our White House wasn't built for that many people at once.

Rent a stadium you cheap fucks.

[Lock him up.]

23. In his demented mind, he owns it now. Never mind the details.

Same as his pal Putin owns the Kremlin:

LOCK.HIM.UP

[NonPC]

42. Keep an Eye on the Punch

Depending on the outcome, the punch will either have some rufie juice or arsenic in it. Let's do a Jamestown!

[GeorgeGist]

2. He enjoys the dying too much.

[JustAnotherGen]

3. Self Inflicted wounds

Rarely end well.

[RockRaven]

4. As long as they all promise to stay inside until people stop dying, I don't care how many

Masque of the Orange Death attendees there are.

What makes it unacceptable is that they won't stay put -- they'll come out here and spread it around the rest of us too.

[Pachamama]

62. Masque of the Orange Death....

Poe would definitely approve....

[Grasswire2]

5. putting WH staff at risk again, and on the taxpayer dime again!

Plus, now he can book more guests at the hotel.

[forgotmylogin]

39. "And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."

The red death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the madness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress, and termination of the disease, were incidents of half an hour.

But Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his crenellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts. ....

63. Phooey, you beat me to posting The Masque of the Red Death!

[DENVERPOPS]

56. You know

that there is a major grift in the process somewhere..........

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Is the Orange A-Hole fearing

something might or a Alien threat to his Glorious Self? My guess is,we are about to see another episode of Apprentice White House complete with all the trimmings.

Sure looking like Captain Puss Bag is scared and like Obama said,he is buying a 400 person birthday party audience.

[AnnaLee]

7. Please someone, clean the turds off the walls! ntp

[NurseJackie]

8. Oooh, goody! (Funeral directors are smiling with delight!)

[rickford66]

9. Count the silverware

[bucolic_frolic]

10. Yeah, a Herd Mentality Bunker Boy Festival

A Hoaxer is going to do what a Hoaxer is going to do!

Breathe deep. Make it total ventilation.

[young_at_heart]

11. Is this unprecedented?

In my lifetime (81 years) I don't believe any election eve parties have been held in the White House.....very inappropriate!

[nsd]

12. Who is paying for this?

[GemDigger]

13. My guess is the Post Office Hotel will be in charge of catering and drinks.

He will still make money off of it.

[yardwork]

27. We are paying for it, and we're paying inflated charges to the Trump hotels.

[dalton99a]

14. A 95% mortality of invitees would be phenomenal

[machoneman]

28. 100% would be better.......far, far better!

[blueinredohio]

15. Hope they don't tear it up when they announce Biden won.

[Cha]

51. Really.

[Texin]

16. Won't surprise me if they have and *accidental* 5-alarm fire.

[George II]

17. This would make a great poll: At what time will he head down to the bunker?

[Marie Marie]

18. Hopefully, no one will be in the mood to party and they

will all get to see this lunatic throw a huge tantrum.

[warmfeet]

19. Yep.

A sample epitaph they can use - here lies a bunch of fucking idiots, liars, traitors and fools. Good fucking riddance!

[SunSeeker]

20. Disgusting. THIS IS THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE, not a campaign ballroom.

[pnwmom]

21. Why isn't he doing his stupid party at Mar a Lago? nt

[JohnnyRingo]

30. Because I don't think he plans on leaving

...ever.

He'll call on his Trumpies to surround the White House with a ring of firepower to prevent his eviction. He probably has a years worth of Doritos and diet Cokes stockpiled.

[KentuckyWoman]

48. I have a tin foil hat theory on this.

I have almost nothing to base it on, but I think the shenanigans with new SCOTUS justices is specifically to

Subvert the elections
Get rid of Presidential term limits.

Ya'll can poke fun at me, alert me, I deserve it. There's no real basis for my fear. I am an old lady, still tired from caregiving a husband who took 5 years to die, and worked up about what kind of world we are leaving the newest generation. But if anything keeps me up at night these days, that is it. Can't get it out of my head - full well knowing that I am being ridiculous.

[BigmanPigman]

66. You can't rule out anything with team tRump.

He has broken all the norms and has the SCOTUS in his pocket. I put nothing past him, his family, enablers, GOP and Putin. They will do ANYTHING to stay in power and grift us further into debt.

[marie999]

22. I hope Biden has another place to stay for the months it is going to take to clean up the WH.

[NYC Liberal]

33. Disinfect AND sweep for bugs too.

[BlueMTexpat]

24. PLEASE let the guests include

McConnell, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Covid Barrett!

[My Pet Orangutan]

31. McConnell can stand under a mistletoe

but I don't think he would get any takers.

[BlueMTexpat]

32. ...

[TexasBushwhacker]

47. Not even his wife! n/t

[keithbvadu2]

53. Lindsey Graham at the ready.

[C Moon]

25. Are some of them going to put bugs around the White House?

I don't know how Biden is going to have a team make sure the WH doesn't have any bugs and cameras hidden. They've had years to hide things.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Another super spreader event Cult 45? Have fun and hope you're all mad/sad/infected in the morning.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. I wish I were invited. I'd enjoy that

Just so I could console the president in his hour of need.

Sir, don't worry, sir. The West Coast hasn't reported yet sir. I'm sure you'll pick up a landslide there...uh sir. hahaha

He's going to be foaming at the mouth.

[Harker]

34. 400 camouflaged, armed invitees? n/t

[LiberalLovinLug]

[Brainfodder]

37. PARTY huh? Sour Grapes available at midnight?

[cstanleytech]

40. He can always hold his conviction and sentencing parties at Trump Tower.

[My Pet Orangutan]

45. Yeah. On the roof.

[Progressive Jones]

41. Time to start counting the White House silver ware. nt

[greenjar_01]

43. They know they're going to lose

The empty hotel ballroom with deflated balloons blowing like tumbleweeds across the parquet floor is not a great look.

[Miigwech]

44. Gonna be the best party in the world, for losers!!!!!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, breath, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, fucking brat loser wants to hold a party .... so what happens if no one shows? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, cough, Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[KentuckyWoman]

46. I predict less than half come AND they get stiffed when Trumpy doesn't show.

[keithbvadu2]

49. Make sure that Moscow Mitch attends.

Before the night is done.

[machoneman]

60. My questions is, how much will he charge to get in? Then, any refunds when he loses? I doubt it.

[keithbvadu2]

61. Does Donald get to keep unspent campaign funds?

Does Donald get to keep unspent campaign funds?

Maybe he is trying to save 'his' money and let taxpayers foot the bill?

[My Pet Orangutan]

65. Jr. gets to snort them :)

[jb5150]

64. And will they be asked to sign a coronavirus waiver?

Just curious.

[Nitram]

67. I can't wait to see the morbidity results of this super-spreader event. Such poetic justice

the everybody who get sick will be a Trumpist Covid denier.

[DesertRat]

68. Has any other incumbent held an election night party at the White House?

Having the party at the White House just means that taxpayers will be forced to foot the bill.

[Aussie105]

69. Warning to the 400 attendees:

You will be photographed and identified on your way in.

There may be some comeback after the election.

[UCmeNdc]

70. Trump makes the White House his fortress. Ready for his last stand.

Dictatorship!
