if we ever pry back power from these bloated aristocrat seaslugs, then we need to dismantle every single state palace and temple. democracy can not exist when elected officials live and ‘work’ in opulence, that makes them royalty, not public servants.

90,000 square feet. To celebrate one man’s ego. How many americans will ever be invited to this ballroom?

Finding it hard to afford necessities like groceries, building materials, or housing? Don’t worry! Just think of all the rich people who’ll get to dine in Trump’s massive gold-plated ballroom!

I’d like to see our next D President either have this building torn down or turned into a disenfranchised group of choice history museum.

I am incensed about that stupid huge tacky ballroom. I despise everything that man does and stands for.

I really hope the major networks pick up this story. Show closed parks and then construction of this monstrosity unabated.

Are we doing Balls again? Didn’t know that.
Hmmm, guess I gotta build a second closet for the gowns and perhaps a chest for my tiaras? Gonna go with cedar for the gowns but does anyone know how to properly house many diamond tiaras?
Don’t want them to tarnish or peasants to get to them!
It’s like he’s living in 1891. lol.
Yes know the 1% have lavish parties for fund raising ‘*good causes*’ while they wine and dine on taxpayer monies. But what century is this man living in? It kind of reminds me of Louis XIV and how wanted his nobles close and made many live at Versailles.
Will there be quartets and extravagant food during the hardships of his citizens? Let’s see how this plays out… sounds familiar…hmmm.

Whenever we finally get out of this absolute nightmare we should ask the Canadians to burn it down.

Many people are saying it should be called the “Epstein Ballroom”

Anyone who thinks Trump is building this thing just to hand it over to the next President is fucking delusional.
