[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so funny - and typical - that none of you acknowledge this is being built using private funds.  It will also benefit all the presidents to come.  Not taxpayer funded at all.  Idiots.

"Leavitt characterized the new construction — which she said will be funded by Trump and other private donors"

Are you actually stupid enough to believe these donors aren’t getting paid back and then some with special favors?[/quote]

So, you'd say the same about any donor to any presidential project?  Do you hear yourself?  [/quote]

There are not supposed to be donors for presidential projects. There are not supposed to be presidential projects. Get it?[/quote]

Gosh, are you sure about that?  Remember Jackie Kennedy's renovation of the WH?  How do you think that was funded?  Private donations.  Educate yourself.

Adviser Clark Clifford helped Kennedy find a solution: the Fine Arts Committee for the White House. The committee was formed in February 1961 with a goal of locating "authentic furniture of the date of the building of the White House and the raising of funds to purchase this furniture as gifts for the White House." Not only was seeking "authentic furniture" deemed acceptable, [b]being able to get financing from outside sources would avert complaints about misspent taxpayer resources [/b](refurbishment of the Kennedys' private quarters had already used up the $50,000 allocated by Congress for White House alterations).
