This will end up costing $2bil and half of that will end up in Trump’s pocket.

It was 230 yesterday. I think? Am I going crazy?

You can build a skyscraper for $300 million.
There’s no conceivable way 1 ballroom should cost that much unless it’s literally covered in gold.

Anyone know of a gold plating company I can invest in?

It’s a fucking ballroom. What a ridiculous joke of a project by a hack developer and failed casino owner.

A lot of money for some ugly useless garbage, would be cool if we had other functional branches of government who could stop them from defiling public property.
Competitive_Yam7702 on
of course he will. So he can just divert the funds to his own pocket. Hes done it for years with the secret service.

I want to see the price get bigger.
At this point, trump needs to just screw more of the country over so the obvious corruption gets too big and uncomfortable to ignore. Once most conservatives start feeling the financial weight ipof his actions, struggle to buy food and lose healthcare, then we will see everyone turn on this administration.
This so far is the best “let them eat cake” move I’ve seen any American politician make. Keep making it Impossible for the republicans to sweep under the rug.

Those tariffs are really driving up costs. Damn. We should have elected better leaders.

I’m going to cut government spending so I can spend it on a ballroom and bailing a buddy business in Argentina.

What the **** kind of ballroom is this? You can build a whole new mansion for much less than that. Is he contracting out to his buddies that are giving him a kick-back?

But at least Americans won’t be able to feed their children cause their SNAP benefits are being cut from the shutdown.

This is starting to look like either money laundering or some type of kickback

Money laundering.

did someone check if one of his friends or family opened a “construction business”?

Of course he raised the price, he’s going to pocket that extra 100million

They keep saying its being “paid for with private donations” like its a good thing. I don’t want random secret rich people paying for construction on one of our countries most treasured landmarks. It makes me concerned about their motives and what they are gaining from this transaction.

He raised his bribe… fixed it.

This is going to go well for all of us. A multi-million dollar white house renovation on a whim while people’s SNAP benefits are cut just before the holidays. Even if he’s paying for it (supposedly), the optics are just bad.

And millions of Americans won’t be able to afford a Thanksgiving dinner. Who thought it was good strategy to rub in our faces how rich Trump and his brown-nosers are?

Who gave this ungrateful Republican unlimited control of the purse. There are real Americans in need of help. The republicans responsible for this arrogant abuse in spending need to be held accountable.

$350 million for the ballroom
$250 million for the lawsuit of the DOJ
$40 billion for Argentina
Is this correct in what I’ve been reading over the past week?

They are gonna pilfer over $1billion for this thing with crooked construction accounting just watch.

He did that with the cost of the wall in his first campaign.
There is a good chance the next president has a gaping hole in the white house. And yes, I do mean if Trump never leaves office.

“Look, we have always said it’s going to be 500 million, and with the current radical democrat obstruction it’s making costs go up. It shouldn’t be more than the 800 million we always said it would be. No one builds better than me, very classy. Shouldn’t be more than 900 million when all is said and done. I’m paying for this myself, by the way, very generous. They said ‘sir, let us pay for it, you do too much for us’ so I said ok. I’ll let the taxpayers pay the 1.2 billion for the expansion. It’s coming along so well, so much better and frankly faster and cheaper, than anyone would believe. Just under 1.4 billion. Tremendous work.”

He will add 100s of millions more, just because he can.
