    Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

      It’s actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you’re talking millions you’re being distracted.

    The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn’t be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He’d be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

    He is planning on never leaving. Or he wouldn’t bother. He doesnt do things with foresight unless FOR himself.

      We should. It would be less painful to somehow coordinate everyone to DC than it would be to just live these next three and a half years. I dont want to know what we will be by then at this pace.

    One of the new episodes of Gumball has the answer to this. I never thought I’d see a kids show so blatantly just say it… EAT. THE. RICH.

    No, no, no. He and his buddies are going to pay for it! They all just came into an unexpected windfall when a bunch of poors decided they didn’t need their healthcare anymore!

      It’s not like they’d get Healthcare if this project wasn’t greenlit. It’s <$12 per person. He’s wasted far more money on things equally as stupid.

    Noo, Trump. You forgot that your palace seat of government needs to be outside of the city so you can have even more control over the royalty totally democratically elected politicans by making them kiss your rancid rear while being out of their offices. You already have the make-up part & ridiculous hair-do down so well.

      I hope it doesn’t…

      I’d rather see it burn to the ground deliberately.
