FYI
We Do have an East Room Ballroom that is in the Whitehouse residence and can seat 290 guests for dinner and 500 for other seating events. And also another huge State Dining Room
On average, depending on presidents socializing preference, there are 2-3 white house dinners a year where a Pavilion outside is needed. All other official dinners fit inside and are held inside the East Room or State Room.
We are $39 trillion in debt, citizens can't afford food and gas and rents, and their healthcare benefits or rural health clinics have been cut or removed... For 3 events a year where there are more guests that the inside rooms can hold, you really think Trump's priority should have been spending his time and $400 million on a ballroom that large for 3 events a year, (or spend a billion on retrofitting his Qatar palace in the sky airplane gift, or the $1.5 billion a day on his ill planned war of choice in Iran, or on his birthday parades, or on his Arch he's building for himself, or the money for his putting himself on our passports and coins....)
YES, Republicans have introduced a bill for us tax payer's to foot the$400 million, and not pay for it with donations as Trump claimed initially.
