Government shutdown, employees aren’t getting paid, but Trump has plenty of money to build a tacky ballroom.

50k in materials. 500 Million in bribes.

He’ll just sue the FBI specifically for 200 million and Cashapp will hand it right over with bulging eyes.

The old, worth the fine and cost of doing business, is the new, naked corruption.

Of course. The cheap labor is being deported..

Well Trump is famous for not paying his contractors. Refuse to pay, they sue you, they settle for 50%-75% of what you owe them to avoid legal fees and a long court case.

I’m pretty sure “ballroom” is code for the new Trump House. He started griping the day he moved in 2016. The showers! the toilets! The lack of gold plated accents.

Can’t go over budget if you continuously use a different budget number like it was ALWAYS the budget number you were using.

When Truman completely gutted the entire White House to be rebuilt from inside out it only cost the equivalent of $69 million. What the fuck is Trump building?

Who cares? Private sector paying for it. We’re paying attention to the wrong things

Hot hot take – I don’t think it will be finished by 2028.

This is egregious but it’s also a distraction from what’s happening with Trump **normalizing trade with Russia**
Steve Witkoff, Trump’s real estate ally and “financial conduit”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, positioned to act as a public-facing bridge to legitimize Russian-American trade,
Jared Kushner
This is not diplomacy.
This is reintegration.
The “Alaska meeting” and the fake sanctions rollout. These sanctions were never about stopping Putin. *They were about normalizing him.*

Don’t worry y’all Teump said he’s paying for it along with donors. We can ALWAYS count on his word. /s

We build multi-story high tech lab buildings at universities for 100m.
300m can get 7-9 stories with multiple clean room labs and high cost spaces.
He’s building a bunker or secret hideaway under this or just pocketing 250m

I think he is going to pull a “The Producers”.
He says it needs $300MM to build this thing. He will raise $800MM. He will actually pay $50MM, and keep the difference.
Everyone doing work and providing supplies will do so as a favor to the administration.
He raised millions for his inauguration, and spent almost none of it.

But not a single contractor will get paid

Mark my words, this will be the largest money laundering operation in history. The cost will be over 1 billion.

$100m ballroom on top of $200m situation room to rival War Games /Dr. Strangelove. $200m to murder the contractors, $100m to murder those operatives to give plausible denial.

Hard to go over budget when there is no budget. Also when you dont pay the workers.

The Epstein Ballroom?

Fiscal Conservatives always vote GOP bc they care about the financial aspect of the government. They ignore the fact since 1980 no GOP president has left office with a sound economy. Since then, every Dem president fixes the economy as best they can.

Already has. $200 million to 300.
