If, indeed, there was any reason at all.
 
The assassin of Elizabeth of Austria killed her because he didn't have
the train fare to get close to anyone else whose death would make the news.
 
If that rally had been held elsewhere, the would-be assassin might now
be in the news for shooting the local mayor.

Donald Trump has sworn to hold another rally
at the same venue.  I wonder if he will, because
I gather that most places he's gone to be
celebrated, he hasn't paid the bill for the event.
That gets you not asked back.

Asked? Who says Trump will wait to be /asked/? He will /demand/!

Apparently, at least two places are insisting he pay for his 2020
rallies before he holds another.

IIRC, it isn't always the fee for the use of the space. It's the fee
for the police overtime and/or property damage caused by his fans that
he is stiffing them for.

Some places even insist on being paid for the security up front! The
audacity of some people.

I am excited that the Secret Service are going
to seal Mr Trump in a bulletproof and airtight
box for any such occasion henceforth, but part
of this may be my wishful thinking.

The "airtight" certainly is. But they /might/ be able to get him into
a bulletproof box. I wouldn't bet on it, though.

Sadly, he would still be visible and audible, I presume.
