Ballroom Donors Have $279 Billion in Federal Contracts

[Crepitus]

That was a rhetorical question. The point being, I doubt new contracts were given as a result of their donations

Feel free to prove your assumptions.

Trump isnt getting the money, the government is. What benefit does trump get out of this that all future presidents wont?

tRump wants to do something he thinks will outlive him, overshadow the disaster his abomination of an *administration has been. He gets money for his pet project, they get ten times as much back in government contracts.

This is clearly "pay to play" in the most obvious way possible.

 

[Crepitus]

Of course they are... why are you against them getting this long overdue job?...

Feel free to prove they are, and what "long overdue job"?

Yes, a recent report from the watchdog group
Public Citizen found that two-thirds of the known corporate donors to the Trump White House ballroom project hold substantial existing or recent government contracts.


While there isn't a direct record of new contracts being awarded as an explicit quid pro quo for the donations, many donors are major federal contractors or have regulatory issues pending before the Trump administration, leading to significant conflict of interest concerns.

AI search is a great tool, easy to aggregate information. So, there is no evidence of any NEW contracts being issued to those people since the donations.

Ok, but what financial gain does trump get? A little notoriety for building the ballroom? How long will that last? Will anyone care after a year?

Thanks for making my point.

What was the assertion? That no NEW contracts were awarded since the donations. I was proven correct.

Again, if you want to remove ALL of the money out of Washington, im all for it, but many MANY politicians have likely had their pockets padded for some of that sweet government juice!

"direct record of". It doesn't say "no new contracts". It also doesn't talk about promised extensions or new business.

Again, thanks for making my point for me. Your assistance has been invaluable.

Poor people do not donate in amounts large enough to achieve much.

Other presidents have had to lease rooms at an exorbanate price or set up multi million dollar tents for dignitaries to come to...it was embarrassing.... grow up...

But, I didn't make your point, I mean, if you want to claim victory over something that isnt there...well...ok..I guess... seems kinda strange to do so, but you be you!

That ballroom will be used every night when a Prog President comes to power. In fact, there will be fights and damage to it from you guys.

 

[sartre play]

Democrats donors only fund anti American things

Why would you lie about something so easy to prove wrong?
Why cant we join together & Fight for honest government from BOTH political party's?
