    Isn’t the government shutdown? Why are they wasting money on this useless luxury shit?

      All that “government shutdown” means in this context is that certain parts of the government have no money, so can’t operate. The ballroom is largely funded by the President shaking down private companies and forcing them to fund it, so they have plenty of money for this.

    This building could be used for actual work and historically was. It is history. But they want to replace it with a giant party room

    All paid for by bribes and backdoor deals to make Americans suffer more.

    Remember next year when your insurance premiums increase by 20-400%. You can thank Donald Trump personally.

      It’s paid for by our taxes. The bribes and backdoor deals go straight into his pocket.

    Now everyone who looks at a picture of the wh will be reminded of trump’s smell. Every time.

    Source: my country’s former prime minister embezzled state funds to the tune of billions. He built an ugly ass megascraper visible from most parts of the city capital. I hate it.

    The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

    As if he would know or care…
