Asked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander about the fans, who stayed and chanted "OKC" until the final buzzer tonight:
"It's amazing to know that, no matter what, they have our backs. Oklahoma really feels like home for me and my family. There's no place in the country where I'd rather live and raise a child and build my family and things like that. The community is amazing. We'll them again next year and the year after that. Thank you to them for who they were all season long."
Trump has wanted it since 2010 when he approached Obama‘s advisor, Axelrod, and offered to build a “ beautiful ballroom on the White House grounds” after seeing them hold a state dinner under a tent on the south lawn.
I’m fascinated by how obsessed Trump is with his ballroom but still unsure why he wants it so bad. There is definitely an untold story there that goes beyond him just wanting a larger event space.
@Shige1304@atrupar Obama wrote in his book 6 years ago that his advisor was approached in 2010 by Trump offering to construct a “beautiful ballroom” on White House grounds after seeing Obama hold an event under a tent on the south lawn. He’s been obsessed.
