A billion dollar ballroom in the people's house while working families cannot afford groceries. This cartoon says everything. Trump wants his ballroom and he wants YOU to pay for it. Remember this in November.
Trump’s VAIN GROTESQUE BALLROOM Defiles Our National Treasure, while real problems are made worse. Voters strongly disapprove. Hold Republicans responsible in November, along with all the other massive incompetence, neglect and corruption. #Kleptocracy #Corruption #Ballroom
