I only said that because somebody else did I do not know if that is true.

I mean it may be true but the article specifically states funding is unknown at this time.

Probably the same group of wealthy donors.

The BBC article I found had this in it:

quote:

At a dinner to unveil his plans for the ballroom, Trump said there were three versions of the arch - small, medium and large - but that he liked the largest one the best.

Trump said the ballroom project was "fully financed" and some of the leftover money would be used to fund the arch.

It's not yet clear when construction will begin or how much it will cost.

That seems like a pretty big assumption to me.

That is really beautiful. The statue reminds me of the old image of Lady Liberty on the Silver Dollar. How anyone can be against this is beyond me? It’s reminiscent of the Statue of Liberty in 1876 that was donated to the Nation by France. It’s fitting that private companies would donate this monument in honor of the 250th birthday of America.

I just can't wait for the melts from those that don't pay taxes but yet want to give every illegal in the US free everything.

This will surely make the left want to kill him and his supporters...

Oh wait, they already do and are actively trying to do that.

Like I said earlier, that’s what he’s said but I’ll believe it when the bill comes due. Especially with rising construction costs. It also has to pass Congressional approval, privately funded or not.

TDS is the go to term to label anyone that disagrees with Trump about anything. It's just like the libs screaming Nazi at everything.

How is he trolling? Seriously, I am surprised he didn't have something built his first term. Its on brand of him to leave his mark somewhere. I am not saying it as a good or bad thing, its a matter of fact.

What would he have to gain by just trolling people?

I guess you don't think the whole Gulf of America thing was a troll either.
