Where, or where to accept the nomination? The White House? Maybe Gettysburg?
quote:
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he is likely to give the acceptance speech for his party’s nomination at either the White House or 115 kilometers to the north at the Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Asked by a reporter at a briefing on Monday why he is considering Gettysburg, which Trump said he had visited numerous times, the president replied, “It’s the history. It’s incredible, actually to me. It was a very important place and is a very important place in our country.”
The White House location, however, would be easier in terms of expense and security, according to Trump.
The president did not clearly indicate whether he is planning to invite an audience for the event, but noted: “You have plenty of room at both locations.”
Other venues are also under consideration, according to Trump.
I hope he doesn't choose Gettysburg. I want that place to survive the current moment of iconoclasm unscathed and that's less likely if it gets Trump stink on it.
