Ballroom donors won $50B in contracts after giving to Trump project, watchdog group finds

[LeftofLeft]

He has several books written by ghost writers.

And? They all do. What are the sales records of those books from Trump? Or, maybe Trump should start a foundation so donors can influence him that way. Perhaps charging people -including foreign government representatives- to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom??

If you don’t have a problem with donors influencing and benefiting from indirect donations they have done with other Presidents, spare us the fake outrage on Trump Ballroom donors. Oh, by the way, future Presidents and Americans will benefit from a White House Ballroom. How did Americans benefit from indirect influencing donations to Obama, Clinton, and Biden?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I meant Amazon. The whole ballroom is nothing but blatant, right in our face, corruption.

Da Ballroom! Da Ballroom!

 

[Zincwarrior]

And? They all do.

And? I was just responding to your comment about books. He's been there done that.

I am sure its just a coincidence. Donor’s to Trump’s ballroom received $50Bn in sweet sweet government contracts. Totally coincidental.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly touted the gifts as a boon to taxpayers, but critics of the project say the administration’s refusal to release a full list of donors creates the potential for corruption.

It is only worth $13 million.

Trump should go to prison for bank fraud.

 

[Rawley]

Yep. The Swamp was drained and replaced by an ocean of grift, graft, and corruption. Donors to Trump’s ball room invested $400M into it and received $50B in contracts within just the first 6 months of gifting the money. That is a 12,400% return on the investment in real math. Trump math that might be a billion percent return, not sure.

All righties see is a God anointed hero doing his good works glorifying himself like God wants him to do and selling access like God wants Trump to do. Nothing to see.. just move on. Meanwhile the unprecedented and unaddressed by congress or the courts corruption and grift continue unabated.

Trump ballroom donors awarded $50B in federal contracts in last six months: report

More than half of corporate donors to president’s pet project have recently received new or improved government deals for their services, Public Citizen analysis reveals

More than half of the 27 publicly-identified donors to President Donald Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom have been awarded new or expanded federal contracts since construction work began, according to a watchdog’s report.

Fourteen of the donors to Trump’s pet project saw their government business grow in the first six months after he ordered the demolition of the East Wing, with the contract awards worth a combined $50 billion, new analysis from Public Citizen reveals.

Dupe

Boy are you stupid. Taxpayers aren't paying for the Ball Room.

 

[citygator]

Boy are you stupid. Taxpayers aren't paying for the Ball Room.

Wrong... Tax payers are paying $50B to companies that donated $400M to the ball room which was $1B short of what Trump needs.

I will love to see what you idiots do with Trump's Big Beautiful Ball Room after he leaves office. You can't tear it down because that would violate history. And, he's moving a Big Beautiful national security operations center underneath the ball room. Are you going to spend millions of dollars bulldozing the ball room down but leave the operations center? I hope there's a way he can build his name right into the load bearing walls so that you can't take his name down.

 

[ColonelAngus]

You commies do not actually care about the Ballroom. You just want to cry because it is Trump.

I have yet to see 1% of the concern about MANY BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER MONEY STOLEN THROUGH USAID AND AUTISM, HOSPICE, MEDICAL TRANSPORT SERVICES, AND CHILDCARE FRAUD.

STOP
BEING
FAKE

Psst. Do the math.

"Looking back further, 19 of the 27 corporations concerned have received a combined $338 billion in government contracts over the last five-and-a-half years, Public Citizen calculates."

It's the biggest extortion/protection racket in history. And where are the "God lover's" in Congress like Mike Johnson who posts the ten commandments outside his office door? Not a word. Crickets. Any cabinet appointees, aides, political appointees speaking out? Of course not! If they do, their share of the grift comes to an end, followed by a raaaaaaant on UntruthsSocial followed by an escort out the fu**ing door.

If this Country was actually sane, moral & not the shithole it's turning into Trump would have been impeached years ago, let alone now & given a one way ticket back to that MAL swamp that he owns. And he wouldn't be a free man either.

Which part?

The narrative is dishonest....

 

[Rambunctious]

Please cite support for your statement, not just your the crap coming out of your ass.

It's bullshit... the entire premise is bologna... just like other hate Trump stories... he is not a crook... your side owns the crooks....

What you say when you don’t want to hear facts.

Your beloved fuhrer is peddling the Presidency on a very large scale.

The corruption is out in the open,they don’t even bother to try and hide it!

LARGEST HEALTH CARE FRAUD CASE IN U.S. HISTORY SETTLED
HCA INVESTIGATION NETS RECORD TOTAL OF $1.7 BILLION


Do you know whose company that was?

Republican Senator Rick Scott.

Largest.

Health Care Fraud.

In.

US.

History.

Rick Scott: Wikipedia

During his tenure as chief executive, the company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal programs. The U.S. Department of Justice won 14 felony convictions against the company, which was fined $1.7 billion in what was at the time the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history.


.

SIX MONTHS LATER:

Donald Trump endorses Rick Scott for re-election

Birds of a feather:

Trump Organization found guilty on all counts of criminal tax fraud​

Not to be confused with:

Trump Foundation Will Dissolve, Accused of ‘Shocking Pattern of Illegality’​

A 23 year old link is all you have?

 

[g5000]

A 23 year old link is all you have?

Ah. Now I see why you support Trump. You think "old" fraud is washed away by time.

Why do tards keep re-electing this fraud?

He never even felt the cold steel of handcuffs.

Answer: Yes, a 23 year old link is all I got.

Ok, thanks for playing.

We just found 9 times that much fraud in child care alone in a very popular house democrats district, in one state, A DEMOCRAT STATE.

Oh but wait, while we're pretending to care about fraud:

Health care fraud in California is a multi-billion dollar epidemic, with federal and state authorities estimating that Los Angeles County alone accounts for approximately $3.5 billion in hospice fraud annually, representing roughly 18% of all hospice billing in the United States. [1]

The scale of this issue is enormous, driven by aggressive multi-agency enforcement targeting large-scale schemes: [1, 2, 3]

• Massive Recent Takedowns: State and federal agencies have uncovered massive fraud rings, including cases involving $267 million in a fraudulent hospice ring, $270 million in illegitimate medication billing, and another $50 million in sham Medicare/Medi-Cal hospice billings. [1, 2, 3]
• Widespread Schemes: Common tactics include using stolen identities to enroll unwitting seniors in unneeded hospice programs, kickback schemes, and billing for services that were never provided. [1, 2]
• Intensified Enforcement: The U.S. Department of Justice, the California Department of Justice, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have accelerated their focus on West Coast health care fraud, conducting sweeping arrests to disrupt transnational criminal networks. [1, 2, 3, 4]
