And how did he check into the hotel with guns and knives?
How many hotels have you stayed in where they scan your luggage?

It will be hailed as a great, fantastic, success...you Betcha it will…the firm wouldn’t have it any other way…those of a more sensible disposition will see it as a complete waste of money.

None that are hosting the President of the US and his top team for a dinner. Shouldn't that make a difference?

But from what I have read there were metal detectors at the entrance(s) to the venue but by then he was already staying in the hotel.

Just another American cock up - they stopped him before he could get to Trump!!

Anyway if the rumours are to be believed it was all staged to deflect from the war with Iran, otherwise why would anyone say "I stayed around to see what was happening" when gunshots were being fired?
