Description

Josh Johnson looks at how the GOP is scrambling to use the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner to hard-sell Trump's $400 million ballroom on the pretense of national security, with American taxpayers footing the bill. Plus, Jordan Klepper finds out if other countries have security ideas better than just "ballroom." #DailyShow #Trump #Ballroom #JoshJohnson Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA/?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Daily Show: Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDailyShow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailyshow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailyshow Stream full episodes of The Daily Show on Paramount+: http://www.paramountplus.com/thedailyshow Follow Comedy Central: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ComedyCentral Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ComedyCentral Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comedycentral About The Daily Show: Jon Stewart and The Best F**king News Team host The Daily Show, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning program analyzing the biggest stories in news, politics, and culture through a sharp, satirical lens.

45 out of 47 USA presidents were able to carry out their duties without a gilded dance hall/gaudily decorated bunker. No ballroom. No bunker.

A judge blocked the ballroom at least twice. That should be the end of it!
