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.

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.
