Russia went through destalinization in the 1950s. We shall go through detrumpification in 2029.

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.

Yes.
DC looks awful.

Why isn’t trump paying for this personally? He’s the one who tore it down. He’s certainly got the cash from running crypto scams. He can fund it.

Hahahahahahaha in his first couple of announcements about this he did make it sound like he was going to pay for it. Take a guess why he won’t.

Because he lies about everything.

This new Epstein Wing is his pride and joy.

The Republicans will chicken out and fall in line. This is to make people think they cared just a little bit about the American people, the deficit, and the economy before they all fall in line, sans Massie, and vote for this one-billion-dollar aberration of a Marie Antoinette ballroom.

Trump once again struggling with basic math.

I’m pretty sure the originally stated budget for this ballroom was $200M and now we’re up to $1.4B before any actual construction has begun. That’s a lot more than 2x.

It's not that he necessarily thinks the White House needs a massive ballroom, it's that he thinks he personally deserves it.

The ballroom is under budget you dumb person.

All that money is for grift. It's a classic grift. They'll build some shoddy ballroom for a hundred million and pocket the rest of the money.
