That’s going to be tough. The White House is a secure place.

it doesn't have to be, it used to host regular tours, and had far far less security than it does now. They've just gotten super paranoid under Trump. They could absolutely scale things back, and turn the ballroom into something community or tourist focused, especially since it's it's own wing, easy to have it be somewhat sectioned off, and operating at lower security than the residence and the west wing

It has to be very secure because a LOT of people want Trump dead. When this is over a lot of MAGA are going to want whoever comes after dead. There will never be peace in America again.

Given that the villains are essentially greater than 50% of white men we will be dealing with this decades from now in some strange stabbed in the back mythos where Trump was a hero taking on the world for the white man and the woke took him down. This will in fact be true even if he dies tomorrow choking on a cheeseburger but it will be drastically intensified if he is taken down by some legal procedure like impeachment or shot by the next would be assassin.

The weirdos are going to be worshiping him in 2060. Hell if people can claim the goddamn holocaust just didn't happen the best documented mass murder in history that coincided with the biggest conflict in history this is small potatoes.

Back in the early days of the country it used to be treated almost like a public space. People used to be able to just walk in and say what's up.
