“Donald Trump’s administration has quietly redirected $352m in federal funds designated for the Secret Service toward the president’s controversial White House ballroom project, despite repeated promises by Trump that the construction would be financed by private donations
The funds were drawn from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Trump’s signature tax legislation passed last summer on Republican-only votes. The law stipulates the money may only be spent on Secret Service personnel, training facilities, technology and related costs, not construction. About $340.8m of the funding was placed into an account labeled “Procurement, Construction, and Improvements” on 12 June, according to the office of management and budget (OMB) database. Another account labeled “Operations and Support” was also approved the same day, adding another $10.75m to the budget. The move came after Congress explicitly refused to provide $1bn in funds for the “East Wing Modernization Project”. Joseph Gedeon, guardian |

The only person he wants a new bunker and ridiculous ballroom is himself. This isn't about future presidents and better security for anyone. He knows he sucks and no one likes him and like any cowardly dictator, he's scared pooping his pants because he knows he's hurting people. He's the bully running for cover and he wants us all to pay for his cover. |
