On edit: Perhaps this is to avoid the event being a violation of the Hatch Act. Because it would be.

Can't use that space for nothing.

Actually, a campaign event there is disgusting.

the proceeds. This is just going to be another money making self-aggrandizing scam of his, and nobody will stop him. We are just going to have to suck it up again.

I am praying for the most vicious thunder and lightning storm that DC has ever seen. Biblical.

Wouldn't a small nuclear explosion over the Potomac really top off July 4th?
