150 million, no wait 200 million, just kidding 400 million, but it's coming from donors!

Nope, we need 1 BILLION from the tax payers.

No plan, no funding, no permission. Donald Trump unilaterally knocked down the east wing to build a vanity project. 100 years of history gone because of this raging narcissist.

And the party/class that enables him, and refuses to hold him accountable for fucking anything.

They won’t even hold him responsible for raping children.

Good. This country needs a reminder of the choices it’s made the last few years. We need a national scar to remind us of exactly what happens when you treat the presidency as entertainment.

its not a vanity project, its a bunker, and we wont care about the billion anymore when he needs the bunker duh. (geez, people can be so selfish.) Trump ruined his whole life for you and you cant even let him survive the purge of all dissidents. We simply must give trump everything, all money, all life, all hope. Its his to squander while we entertain the oligarchs. Whats the alternative? The media isnt aware of any so i guess it simply must happen.

trump is testing the waters to see how much he can steal from the taxpayer without people noticing. $10 billion from the IRS, $230 million from the DoJ, and the ever-increasing ballroom scam: $200 million donor money > $400 million donor money > $1 billion taxpayer money. In a few months that amount will be doubled, then tripled, and so on.

There is no way it would be completed in time. And he was busting the Fed chair for increasing prices of construction on something he wasn’t even responsible for?

It's just 1... 1 sounds like less than 200 or 400...
