    I don’t approve of it, but I don’t really care if he tears it down. Actually, I think the whole White House should be torn down, preferably with Trump and all his friends inside it.

    What I oppose is him using tax dollars for this ballroom that none of his subjects will ever be allowed to use or get utility from. Plus the literally everything else he’s ever done 😆

      To be fair, in the pursuit of accuracy, they have said it’s all private funding taking care of it with some coming from strongarm lawsuits. I think that’s easy to verify with receipts, no details released yet. The honourable thing to have done would be to fund government paychecks with that money, and that would probably be a good move politically, but obviously not happening.

        Yes, the $250 million is all private funding. Completely above board.

        Also, totally coincidentally and not at all related, Trump wants the DOJ to pay him $230 million of tax payers money. Totally unrelated. Don’t know why I brought it up.

      I would like the peasantry to just tear through that ballroom and take all the valuables. After all, it is our money.
