Bwahahah. I am posting about our President's actions and results. That's it. If you cant handle that then you probably shouldnt be on a political message board. You make dozens/hundreds of pro-Trump posts a day without any data, links or factual support, just your emotional outbursts but lets be real... there are no pro-Trump threads cuz he's doing a shit job. If you had some good news of data and results Im sure you'd start a thread on it.

I havent had time to check your numbers but based on what you supplied:

$338B divided by eleven 6 month time periods is $30B per 6 months. Why eleven? That is the five-and-a-half years you provided.

The $50B is almost a 70% increase in investment rate. So let me revise my 14,500% return to a 9,700% return rate.

Thanks for supporting my point. Now what?

 

[TimFitz]

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

stupid is believing that!

And the evidence of the grift is growing, dispite the Trump regieme’s serious efforts to conceal everything about the ballroom’s donors, actual donation, whether the money has actually been paid.

 

[TimFitz]

The narrative is dishonest....

Says the unconditional Trump humper.

Always launching the most juvenile attacks on facts you don’t want to hear!

Psychologists call it "Identity Fusion".

People joke about living vicariously through others. This is real. They get a huge personal thrill when he rips people off, grifts a new fortune, punches down, rewards his buddies, gets revenge, trolls people, threatens people and insults people.

As if they did it themselves.

100%

By the same token, when one criticizes Trump, they take it personally, as if you criticized them.

When someone violent idiot tries to get to Trump, they run around like little.parrots, talking about how the violent left is coming for all of them.

I want to hear one of these squealing cultists try to say, with a straight face, that the corporations were donating out of the goodness of their hearts, to gift a lovely ballroom to the American people.

So we can laugh our asses off.

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



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

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...er-giving-trump-ballroom-project-report-says/



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.



More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months, according to a report released Thursday by a government watchdog group.



Fourteen of the 27 known corporate donors to the $400 million project, which would replace the East Wing that Trump demolished in October, have seen their government business grow in that window, according to the report from Public Citizen, a nonprofit. Most of those same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing or have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term, the nonprofit found.



The donors have sprawling interests that touch nearly every aspect of American life, including defense contracting, technology and energy. 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.



“These giant corporations aren’t funding the Trump ballroom fiasco out of the goodness of their hearts,” said Jon Golinger, a public policy advocate at Public Citizen and an author of the report. “They have massive interests before the federal government, and they hope to curry favor with, and receive favorable treatment from, the Trump administration.”



The analysis builds on a report from the group last fall that found the known donors held $279 billion in government contracts over the previous five years and had spent $1.6 billion on political contributions and lobbying during that time. The new report focuses on contracts awarded in most of the seven months since the East Wing’s demolition, which Trump’s critics have argued created new urgency around potential conflicts of interest.



Of the known donors, no single contributor received more new business with the government since giving to the project than Lockheed Martin. The defense giant received roughly $43.8 billion in new or expanded contract funding since last fall, according to the report.



Booz Allen Hamilton followed, with more than $4.2 billion, and Palantir, with just over $1 billion. Other donors that received new or increased contracts include Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Caterpillar and T-Mobile. (Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.) Altogether, more than two-thirds of corporate ballroom donors — 19 of 27 — have received government contracts over the past five and a half years, totaling $338 billion, the report says.



Sixteen of the 27 donors are facing federal enforcement actions or have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration, the report found, including major antitrust reviews involving Amazon, Apple, Meta and Nvidia; labor rights cases involving Google, Lockheed and Meta; and securities matters involving Coinbase and Ripple, whose cases have been dropped or scaled back under Trump.

Sounds like every other president that had a "modernize the White House" or "build a new bunker" agenda.

Like I said I appreciate additional data showing they received an unusually large bag of cash immediately afterwards. 9,500% return on their investment.
