be paid for by his big money friends. No tax dollars would be used. Now it is estimated anywhere from $600 million to one billion dollars and it's being charged us taxpayers ??

How to say I’m a Liberal/Socialist/Communist without saying I’m a Liberal/Socialist/Communist ?

Again with this stupidity? The added costs are for something a bit different than the ballroom. You probably know that or at least you should.

Roof of the ballroom bouta be painted with a giant trans flag so landing aircraft can see it on approach to DC.

We all knew this. Thing is MAGA takes everything he says as gospel. Like it's just totally normal for a president to up and decide to tear down a third the white house for a ballroom. When the president has access to a grand ballroom already. Andrew Mellon ballroom .

When Trump wanted to build a simple ballroom for the $200 milllion, you leftists used judges and every trick in the book to stop it

What that led to was Trump then making it a national security concern that judges couldn't block, including adding a five-story-deep underground military and security complex beneath the ballroom

The cost overrun is literally the left's fault and now they bitch about it

Because people want to conflate the ballroom with whats also being built UNDER the ballroom. Trump pays for what is above ground. The security bunker below is not paid for by trump and that isn't a ballroom.

So to get back at the Democrats for blocking $400m ballroom, Trump added the underground structure that will cost tax payers?

The SS and military have wanted a capable operations and security structure at the WH for years so this was a perfect opportunity to build one

It's a win-win. Trump gets to stop you leftists and the structure gets built

We can pay for the overrun by shutting down a few more scamming "Learing Centers" from the trash immigrants you leftists support

I suspect we will hear a lot more about that ballroom. If the democrats get enough soundbites out of that, they may not tear it up when they come into office.

I'm pissed off thinking if the Illegitimate Jotato Regime had simply stopped one MinneSomalia criminal organization from stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from US taxpayers, that money could have paid for a new ballroom.

If we could round up 500,000 more of the twenty million illegals your friends let in, the savings from that would pay for twentv ballrooms quickly. But we all know you would fight that tooth and nail, so kindly STFU!

Trump started with a ballroom; you tards used activist judges to block it around the same time the SS and the military went to him about the addition, so he was able to use the military addition to make it impossible for you tards to block it again.

As I said, it's a win-win

The other win is seeing leftists like you suddenly become conservative and concerned with taxpayers' money

So was the military addition necessary? And if it was, why not just use that in the first place? Otherwise it looks like he just fleeced the tax payers by making a vanity project more expensive than it needed to be.
