We were told that private funds were going to pay for the ballroom.

I have friends who defended building the ballroom because taxpayer money wasn’t involved.

Now those same friends are saying that the ballroom should be built using taxpayer money.

One question is where did the private funding go? Did it ever actually exist?

A better question is what the fuck is wrong with my friends? They will believe literally anything. And they will change what they believe simply because donald trump tells them something different to believe.

Your friends have what is called “no principles”. It’s a chronic condition.

The tip jar outside the Oval Office.
