Correct.Was this the event at Ford Field in Detroit?
Did you vet all the donors who supplied funding for the source that reported that ?If I remember correctly that event was a 'private' event that was going to take place in a much smaller venue. The Secret Service moved it to Ford Field at the last minute because they felt that they could not provide security at the original site.
Or did you (for some odd reason, unbeknownst to us all here) just accept it at face value ?
In any event, your characterization appears to conflict with what was reported:
WaPo (and others) reported that the event was moved to Ford Field after two previous venues sold out and were judged as being too small to accommodate the number of people who wished to attend (and that number turned out to be around 1,200 apparently)
The security aspect came into play about where to hold within the Ford Field complex - the Atrium or the field itself - after the decision had already been made to move it to Ford Field.
