        This is the correct answer.

        FYI, it’s ~1100 miles (~1800 km) from where I am to DC. A flight would be around 300 per person round trip, or if we could afford to take a week off it would be two days of driving to spend a day there and two days back. We’re in the middle of the country, a third are closer and two thirds are further away.

        Even if we wanted to go to this shitshow, it would cost us about $3k in lodging and travel alone. Fuck all the way off with that.

        This is performative bullshit and an utter misappropriation of taxpayer dollars - par for the course, I guess.

      It’s hot and humid as fuck in DC right now and they won’t let you take anything into the event with you. On top of the travel limitations most of his base have, it would be a literal hell on earth hanging out there
