Of course, it will be much easier to secure the Capitol Rotunda

than any outdoor venue. Nobody has mentioned that, but I'm guessing Trump likes that idea a lot. Many people don't much like Donald J. Trump. He may well be a bit worried about standing on some podium to give a speech right now. The Secret Service may well be a little hinky about that idea, too.

So, he gets to stay warm indoors and avoid being an easier target. What's not to like, if you're Trump?

There's always more than meets the eye.

And, of course, there will be giant bullet-proof shields surrounding where he speaks....

I think he just doesn' t want to mess up his hair by having to wear one of these, even though he could cosplay his man Putin by doing so:

Outside…what a sniper? Never work. If you were going to take him out at the podium a drone attack would be better plus it still works if it’s held inside.
This would never happen of course just thought experiment.

Current Capital Police open the crowd barriers and let the crazies have their way with his traitorous ass? A little pay back?
