This “tent” is more posh than your house.

Well, it's definitely not more posh than my house. But the point is, it's outside. It's frickin' cold here. It's raining. And the guests have to use portapotties. This is absurd. We have the White House to do this in; we have the State Department's Diplomatic Reception Rooms; we have other venues, if those aren't big enough. Doing it outside in November is nuts.

Flush de luxe portapotties, modular walkways under awnings, hot air blowers... they’ll all be very comfy.

Maybe the White House embarrasses them? And Michelle would have to cut way back on her Hollywood invites.

I'm sure this "tent" is more posh than my home at the moment. At a half a million dollar or more event, this thing is more than cozy warm. Picture giant indoor firepits, huge floral displays and I'm sure the porta-potties the author mentions are hardly what comes to mind for us commoners. That was mentioned to make 0 sound, well, more humble which we know is BS.

I'm sure the servers are in tux and tie delivering food I could only dream of on our budget. 0 will impress his big bundlers, no doubt about it, and on our dime. :(
