Every clip of that that’s been released looks like the security failed at an asylum.

No it’s actually a ballroom. The president is a demented old man and is obsessed with ballrooms because he thinks he’s some kind of great builder of hotels. There’s nothing deeper here.

He’s also obsessed with being fake royalty which is why he puts gold on everything like a tacky Versailles. But I think he’s also paranoid about being poisoned or shot so it probably does have a bunker and this helps him avoid going out in public. He didn’t even make it to his big prayer fest.

Can you imagine if you went back and told the Puritans any of this? They would be so irritated at what became of their shining city on a hill project. They definitely were not planning on gilt ballrooms.

It’s so telling this is by far the biggest thing on his mind. He does not give two sh!ts about the inflation he’s causing, the terrible economy, job losses, the dumb war he started, etc. he’s just obsessed with his dumb ballroom.

I think it is inefficient government spending to build another.

For real! What's the problem with this one? It's gilt, it's large, it's local. Looks adequate to me.

Why don't they just get Trump a bulletproof tutu? That way he can be safe no matter where he dances.

Sounds like the senate is pulling funding for this from the current bill on the table.

He will be remembered much as Nero and Commodus were remembered in Roman history. Not kindly.

Watch the criminal claim he's been victimized by government and file a claim to his new slush fund for it.

Good job Sen Whitehouse and to the Senate Parliamentarian for pointing out Trump’s billion dollar ballroom didn’t include proper reconciliation instructions and thus the funding is out.

So now what happens? Does the White House just sit looking like a wreck because Trump knocked it down illegally?

Ballroom won’t be funded after Senate GOP drops $1 billion Trump security request
Multiple Republican senators objected to sending taxpayer dollars to the president’s East Wing revamp.

The decision to omit the security funding came after twin blows: Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled over the weekend that the provision didn’t comply with the strict rules governing what Republicans can put in their filibuster-skirting bill because it funded activities outside of the Judiciary Committee’s jurisdiction.


And several GOP senators aired public concerns about including any ballroom funding in a bill otherwise dedicated to immigration enforcement. A larger swath of Republicans were privately opposed, with the mood souring further Tuesday amid anger over Trump’s decision to endorse Ken Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the upcoming GOP primary runoff in Texas.
