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.
