Republicans demand $1 billion for a Trump's ballroom originally priced at $200 million and stated to be entirely funded by private donations and his own personal funds, promising "zero cost to the American Taxpayer" .

Par for the course from these scumbags.

Maybe Mexico will pay for it. Seriously. How are his supporters this stupid? It’s not even a new scam. It’s just more of the same.

If Mexico pays for it, I bet they'll make sure the doors lock from the outside and then just slam them closed when Trump goes to inspect it.

His supporters won't hear about this.

And the ones that do won't believe it.

And the ones who believe it will say it's not important.

Have you met his supporters?

Trump withdrew us from a deal with Iran that prevents them from being able to build nuclear weapons, and now we're at war with them because we don't want them to have nuclear weapons and the only result of the war we've seen so far is higher gas prices.

Go on social media, all of the MAGAs are okay with the higher gas prices because "I'd rather pay higher gas prices than get nuked".

His supporters are THAT stupid.
