That's a horseshit "I don't want to deal with this" response.

The pilot will probably end up on some ICE list if they contact the White House.

They'd find a way to blame Democrats, and their base would eat it up

Hopefully if it does happen the plane crashes straight onto Trump's head.

Space moths. He's going to attract space moths and they will swarm the Whitehouse.

Do they not make you file permits anymore for shining lights into the sky?
I know when I was doing festivals we had to file permits for all of our light shows noting the exact time it would start and end. They would put a TFR in place surrounding our festival until it was over so planes and helicopters wouldn’t get blinded by the lights.

This operation is being run by people who fucking bulldozed a whole wing of the White House itself without permit nor permission. They DGAF if an airplane crashes because of their piddling wrestling match to make themselves feel all grown up.

It's not needed, if the man-child king wants it

They're the White House. Even during 'liberal' control they're the ultimate authority in the executive branch. Any and all executive branch agencies report to them. Who would they file for permits with? They're ultimately the ones in charge of the people issuing permits.
And since that's the case there's no real reason for a permit if you don't care about the material consequences and there are no possible legal consequences. If anyone crashes due to this, the White House will just blame the pilots, which will cause the NTSB to just blame the pilots, which will cause Congress to wag their finger and make a commitee no one attends or ever mentions again, which will cause a few news stories about how ineffective congress is, and by that time Donald Trump will be beheading brown children on live TV via a comically large fan and no one will care about the lighting at this stupid arena most Americans don't even know exists.

The city of Washington DC.
I'd love to see a single scrap of evidence that liberal administrations do not bother with permits, please.

Small price to pay for such a phenomenal event.
