President Donald Trump is considering using the White House as the backdrop in a made-for-TV campaign moment later this month, accepting his party's nomination in a speech from the heights of the building's Truman Balcony to a throng of fellow Republicans on the South Lawn below.
It's one of several scenarios arising from the current brainstorming sessions, according to Trump aides who described the thinking to CNN. Other possible backdrops range from the grandiosity of a US naval ship to the intimacy of the White House's private residence.With the coronavirus crushing the President's hopes of a conventional convention, Trump now wants to keep the event close to home -- literally.
This would be a blatant violation of the Hatch Act, and puts all federal employees forced to participate at risk for prosecution. For them to act in any capacity other than as a federal employee is to force participation in an event they may not personally support. U
Whitehouse should be used solely for political purposes and not election campaigning, irrespective if your the sitting president!! Whitehouse needs to be seen as always separate from campaigning, otherwise where does the precedent end...allowing fund raising on the front lawn!!
My vote for Trump only.
Why doesn’t he do it from that fricken golf course he goes to each weekend, like now? Cheap ass wants it for free at the WH.
Obama did a political speech and bashed Trump at a funeral. Fake news CNN and the cry baby Democrats didn’t seem to get their panties in a bunch over that one But then again, Democrats are hypocrites
I want him to do it. Great optics.

Use the White House
REPUBLICAN SENATORS NEED TO GET A HANDLE ON TRUMP NOW BEFORE YOU'RE TO LATE. HE'S KILLING YOUR PARTY!
Do they realize they are going to lose and Biden can do the same? Such bad people
It’s simple, these are norm breaking circumstances. Get over it.
President Trump must face various problems due to lack of proper administration.
CNN what are you trying to hide or run from?
IT'S TIME WE ALL COME TO THE REALIZATION that Trump's only interest is his re-election & that Trump couldn't care less about anything or anyone else. TRUMP WILL SAY and 'DO' ANYTHING he thinks will secure his re-election, even endangering other people's lives. Trump's no leader.
Traitor
American public is tired of this game show host. We need someone who has governing abilities and intelligence. Not an incompetent boob.
He can't tie his own shoes and he's younger then me-
Stupid, fake 'mail fraud' conspiracy nonsense. Who fed him this garbage? Russians forging signatures? His base that dumb?
It’s fine. Heck Biden hides in his basement and has a ghostwriter doing his tweets!!!
He should not be permitted to campaign from the people's house. It IS unethical and in very bad taste.
Trump's 'administration and campaign officials' are not exactly great arbiters of ethical matters
realDonaldTrump can’t wait to vote you out of office. Keep sending money to your rich friends. Tick tock November 3rd is coming.
What is the big deal this arrogant child has been campaigning from our WHITEHOUSE since day 2 of his administration.
