After he bulldozed the East Wing without consulting anyone, and then insisted the Ballroom would be paid for 100% from donations. Nope. He can used his own $$$$$. The Trump family has grifted enough off the American people.

he will pocket most of that.... corrupt as f*ck

Great. We can defund two monstrosities at once!

Well, maybe if someone happens to tumble into wet cement and disappear...

So promises made, promises not kept yet again. I don’t want ANY monies going towards his UFC fight night for the 250th.

NO! I do NOT want my taxes going for this. He broke it. He should buy the replacement.

Where’d this money go that was donated to pay for it? www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

GOP doesn't need any room for their balls

Private explosive drones should become a thing to stop construction.

No. Stop spending our money on war and gaudy ballrooms!

Every Republican who has the gall to proclaim this as “a good thing” and “necessary” forfeits their citizenship. Congrats, y’all can now call yourselves Traitors.

Read the fine print: the proposed billion does NOT include the $400 million donated. The $200 million ballroom is now a $1.4 billion ballroom - a $1.2 billion overrun on a $200 million project. They tried to prosecute Powell for an overrun half that size. Some real estate genius...

So which of his offshore bank accounts did the "ballroom donations" end up in?

nope. Quit carrying water for the Gop NPR.

I say "let the Republicans pay for it then." #VoteBlue

How to steal from the people. That money should feed the hungry and house the homeless.

N.O. No more $$$$$$$$$$$$ to these lying weasels.

Another waste of time snd money. Hopefully more time than money.

Obscene.

The People had a ballroom in the White House - In the East Wing. Trump demolished it. Republicans have abandoned the Constitution and we the people

Speaking of partisan… NPR, Why did you stop posting on X? Nobody buys what you’re selling over there?

No!

What Madness! I do hope #Collins Just Says NO!

Doesn't seem like these "Conservatives" are really that serious about controlling the National Debt After all. Vote for change in November. Pull the plug on the real swamp for a chamge.

Wow! $1Billion left over for a ballroom? That’s fantastic! Glad to know we now have affordable healthcare, all the potholes and bridges have been repaired, our lead water pipes have been replaced and our national parks are all caught up on their maintenance. We MUST be living in a "golden age"!

The bigger story should be where the private donations went. Did everyone just move on from that??? Some that have been reported as contributors: Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, HP Inc., Palantir Coinbase, Ripple, Tether America. Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Booz Allen Hamilton

Let them pay for it! We can't afford them or this president.

Amazing how this country survived 250 years without a ballroom until this schmuck came along!

What does a White House ballroom have to do with I.C.E.?!

Good reason to not pass it

Every tired “how will we pay for it” attack on social programs and worker/consumer/environmental protection was in bad faith. They’ve never cared about the debt or deficit or “fiscal responsibility,” only about protecting the wealthy and exploiting the poor.

Double it, then give it to teachers instead.

Because Fascist Kings need videoed sex/torture dungeons underneath their ballrooms, of course.

NO!!! IF THERE'S NO MONEY FOR HELPING FUND CHILD CARE,MEDICAID,,FOOD ASSISTANCE, VETERAN'S AND MANY OTHER NECESSARY SERVICES THEN HE SHOULDN'T GET ONE DIME!! #IMPEACH #THEM #ALL

And bitching about how no one’s stopping him 🤦🏻‍♀️

No

so the google money is a saudi bank now huh

The Incredible Growing Ballroom! #Trump'sBallroom #GOPDoormats #F👑ckCakeEatTheRich #FauxGoldGildedSwine #BallroomRepublicans

NO. Democrats better get loud. #VOTE

No way no way

Fuck these people. What about our healthcare?

Ha, this is just the first touch. Wait till he starts making the remaining part of the building match.

While we’re facing a potential hantavirus spread. What a great administration to have in office dealing with this. Bumbled the covid pandemic!

Of course they do! Anything that orangutan says, they do… except make America great. They’re doing poorly at that. How’s that day one Ukraine war ending? How about those gas prices? How’s that war with Iran that’s not a war & those peace talks with Iran that happened, then didn’t, again?

Eat a big ole bag

What security was provided for the tents? That should be sufficient. If they need more for certain events get stronger tents.
