Roads Near Lincoln Memorial Closed Sunday for Fox News Town Hall With Trump

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/roads-near-lincoln-memorial-closed-sunday-for-fox-news-town-hall-with-trump/2291531/

Roads near the west end of the National Mall and three memorials will be closed Sunday for a virtual town hall with President Trump airing on Fox News Channel.

The Lincoln Memorial will be closed starting at 6 a.m. Then, at noon, the Vietnam and Korean War Veterans memorials will close to the public, along with major arteries in the area such as the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

Everything will reopen at midnight.

So, DOLT45 wants to have another chance to shit on the Lincoln Memorial. The good news is, we're expecting thunderstorms tomorrow.

This needs closer review.

Using the assets that belong to the American people for a political event.

Who knows what he might say? We all know, however, he'll turn it into a campaign event as he spouts off at the mouth.

A virtual town hall would have no attendees, so why have it at the Lincoln Memorial. If it is for the optics, technology will allow a background of the Memorial to be shown behind him no matter where he is.

I have a feeling he will be disappointed when no one cheers his nonsense. In spite of this, it will be the the biggest, bestest, and bigly rated event known to modern man in his feeble mind.

There is more than a 50% chance of scattered thunderstorms during the event. Is it wrong to hope for a lightening strike to the comb over?
