GOP now plans for taxpayers to cover Trump’s $400 million ‘privately funded’ ballroom

Republicans have outlined multiple proposals to advance President Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project, some of which call for taxpayer funding

www.the-independent.com

In the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, top Republicans want to use $400 million in taxpayer funds on President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project, arguing the new building is vital for national security. This comes despite past promises from the president the ballroom would be entirely funded by private donations.

“It’s very difficult to have a bunch of important people in the same place unless it’s really, really secure,” Sen. Lindsey Graham told reporters on Monday. “The times in which we live are unusual. I’ve been up here for a while now. I’ve never felt the sense of threat that exists today.”

Graham and his GOP colleagues Sen. Eric Schmitt and Sen. Katie Britt are pushing a bill to fund the ballroom and offset costs by using customs and national parks user fees. The proposal includes building new military and Secret Service infrastructure within the ballroom complex.

Graham said the White House supports his effort, despite the president’s frequent claims that he and private donors were personally funding the entire ballroom project. The White House has previously said major tech corporations, including those that do business with the federal government and donated to Trump’s inauguration, have committed millions to funding the ballroom.

The other regimes were "willing" to blindly spend $300M to fix the reflecting pool.

President Trump got it done (quickly) by calling contractors. He found $2M repair vs. Rebuild.

Paid out his own money. Also the fountains (he paid it).

This will be handled. STAIN gotta holler. That's all this is.

Bub, that is chump change. It is no big deal. It puts the USA in the hole another 45 minutes or so.

Here...

As of early 2026, the U.S. national debt is increasing by an average of over $6 billion to $7.5 billion per day. This rapid accumulation is driven by federal spending exceeding revenue, which includes spending roughly $2.6 billion per day just on interest payments for existing debt.

Daily Increase: Recent data indicates a rate of approximately $7.58 billion per day.

Hourly Rate: The debt rises by roughly $315 million per hour.

Total Debt: The total gross national debt exceeded $38.9 trillion by April 2026.Context: This means the debt is increasing by more than $1 trillion every ~93 days.

The interest on the debt is growing so rapidly it has become the second-largest federal expenditure, surpassing national defense and Medicare spending.

You have a little bit of an argument, but, private donors were supposed to be financing the ballroom itself, not the underground military complex.

Had it covered easily coming in on tariff revenue but stalled out in Obiden courts. Take it out of congress slush funds. They do nothing 90% of every year.

Of course, that is about 1/1000th of the Dim fraud that happens every year. So STFU.

“Republicans now plan for taxpayers to cover Trump’s $400 million ‘privately funded’ ballroom”

So much for Republicans being the party of ‘small government.’

So much for Republicans being the party of ‘fiscal responsibility’ and ‘restraint.’

Republicans are infamous for their hypocrisy.

I know. I understand your sudden outrage. I feel it too. Republicans don't exist. We have deep state and a few patriots. That is all.

President Trump os so far removed he is Patriot 5-star level.

Hope thst helps to cool your rage.

Well yes if it’s going to have a state of the art bunker then why would it be privately funded?

They suddenly need a $500MM bunker upgrade? Please cite something not from Trump.

[Old Rocks]

Pretend the money is going to Ukraine instead.

That money would be much better spent going to the Ukraine. Russia's attempt to re-establish the old Soviet Union must be stopped right there. Those that support Russia and Putin are traitors to this nation. Ukraine is the equivalent of Sudetenland.

 

[Old Rocks]

It's peanuts compared to what you laundered through Zelensky's and Biden's "war" with Russia.

So another kisser of Putin's ass chimes in. Nice to see what nation you want the US modeled after.

 

[Old Rocks]

Congress: worst of the worst. This peanut head got lambasted. Didnt know two cases yet argued both like Boatd Stain do? Congress is a huge problem.

DeLauro had no clue what Zeldin was talking about and went berserk:

“You do not, excuse, you don’t have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it’s a hoax!” she yelled at the EPA Administrato

"You Don't Have the Right to Say Climate Change is a Hoax!"- Purple-Haired Democrat LOSES IT as Lee Zeldin Schools Her on Two Landmark Supreme Court Cases (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Cullen Linebarger

Congress's purple-haired congresswoman had a near-complete meltdown after EPA administrator Lee Zeldin completely embarrassed her during an an exchange on 'climate change' and the law.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Yes, Congress is a problem. Can be solved by voting out about 80 or a 100 or so MAGAts. Then start working on the problems affecting most Americans. Affordability of basics, a real health care system instead of a money making machine for billionaires, and addressing the very real crisis of climate change due to AGW.

Better than wasting $100 billion plus catering to illegal alien criminals.

Another fucked up dumb ass that is trying to change the subject. Don't worry, fellow, after 2027, things are going to radically change. The Iranian war has shown us how totally incompetent this admin is. The isolation of the US from our good allies to the north and south of us demonstrates how Trump is willingly playing Putin's ambition of isolating the US from the rest of the world. And this admin's destruction of science in the US demonstrates their hate of knowledge and science. Trump and the MAGAts are complete losers and trying to take the rest of us down to their filthy level.

Okay boomer. Why don’t you gear up and join up Zelensky’s rainbow brigade to fight the evil Russians.

Of course you support the Jewish theater kid who was installed in Kiev to start a war with Russia in order to kill off as many Ukrainian Christian as possible.
Now they are already starting to import Africans to take the jobs of the soldiers.

It’s amazing how you boomers are perfectly fine with this. Kill off the white Christian population and import African Muslims to replace them.

Pretend the money is for the Azov battalion in Ukraine or Hamas in Gaza, you'll feel better.
