It's Friday, May 1st.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, a show that finds it strange that this is why President Donald Trump
does n't want to wear a bulletproof vest after three assassination attempts.
I don't know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier.
Look, I get it.
But also, I don't think that would be the vest, Mr. President.
On today's show, the Department of Homeland Security's longest shutdown ever finally comes to an end.
And somehow we missed Alina Habba joining The View for a cage match.
I mean, interview.
But let's start with Trump's very strange week.
On Saturday night, the president survived an attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
And in response, the president appears to have one singular thought.
We gotta build that White House ballroom.
He even got the GOP on board.
Here's South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham earlier this week.
We 're going to introduce legislation that would authorize $400 million to be spent to secure,
to build the presidential ballroom.
Private donations can be used, but I think they should be used for buying China and stuff like that.
Yes, those private donations that we're supposed to be paying for the entire ballroom.
This is nuts, right?
