The National Capital Planning Commission just gave FINAL, FULL APPROVAL to President Trump's White House ballroom, after a judge halted construction

[Augustine_]

You hicks want the US to stuff dignitaries from around the world into a tent.

Gomer.

By "dignitaries" you mean authoritarians from the gulf states that Trump wants to look cool in front of.

Crazy how MAGA is all in a twitter about the oligarchy building a ballroom of all things for itself. In the middle of a war and an affordability crisis.

The dirty Sliwdown Obiden judge should be chained and dragged to the foundation and tied to the re-bar. People are fed up with this one-way Judicial BS.

 

[Concerned American]

What an insane comment to type as you cheer on elitist billionaires building themselves a ballroom as if it's a personal win for you

So you'd rather have a millionaires tax so you could feed, clothe and house illegal immigrants with their taxes instead of building something that promotes the general welfare, eh? STFU and run along junior. You're ignorant.

Stuff it Stain.

The Trump administration faced over 15 injunctions in its first months, more than Biden faced in his entire term,

Judicial Activism 101

Sure, a modern, secure central military command and control center for Americans. It is also proper for an 84 year old formal meeting area to greet foreign dignitaries to the country be replaced with something 21st century. Just shut up, I'm tired of educating you. Run along.

Actually, No!
What impressed my was that Trump got the big money to pony up to build the East Wing Ballroom.
It's not costing the taxpayer and that's fine.

Wow! you sound like a Trotskyite.
Would you rather take the Oligarchs out behind the ballroom and shoot them?
Eh Tovarich?
Remember it's must all be for the Rodina!

That was already paid for 100% with private funds, not taxpayers. I know, being democrats, you can't contemplate something being done by a politician and taxpayers not having to pay for it, but Trump is different. He's got money and connections. And had them BEFORE becoming president.

Who’s paying for Trump’s $300 million ballroom?

The president has maintained that the multi-million-dollar project will be paid by private donations — and not by taxpayers.

What is the problem? My neighbor just bought a brand new car, in the middle of a war and an affordability crisis. Should I attack him for that?

That's how bribes work....

You really have to learn 101 corruption

Yeah, and he only had to resort to very immoral means to do it.

In fact, it looks just the same as Putin getting money for his war.

Who is paying for Donald Trump's new White House ballroom?

A former White House chief ethics lawyer described the ballroom donations as an ethical "nightmare".

www.bbc.co.uk

"Court documents show that YouTube will pay $22m towards the project as part of a settlement with Trump regarding a lawsuit over the suspension of his account following the 6 January 2021 riot at the US Capitol."

YouTube to pay $24.5m to settle Trump lawsuit over Capitol riot

The streaming giant is the last company to settle with the president after suspending his account in the wake of the 6 January attack in 2021.

www.bbc.co.uk

"YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5m (£18.6m) to settle a lawsuit brought by Donald Trump, filed after the video platform suspended his account in the wake of the 6 January attack on US Capitol."

Not the first time Trump has gone after people for things that, quite frankly, are ridiculous, and then got a settlement because he's threatened them with other things.

"In January, Facebook's parent company Meta agreed to a $25m settlement - with $22m earmarked for Trump's presidential library."

Facebook too.

"The social media giants have also taken measures to loosen content moderation on their platforms which Republicans had claimed amounted to a violation of free speech."

Funny, as I got kicked off Facebook for.... I don't know what. There were a few reasons given, none of them make any sense. I can't sue these people... but Trump does and then uses his power to win without ever having to go to court (where he'd lose big time).

Trump is as corrupt as they come.

He lets people buy influence from him, he attacks those he doesn't like.

Well, they haven't gotten mass deportations, convictions of Democrats, infrastructure, a wall, DOGE checks, stimulus checks, lower grocery prices, lower home prices, affordable healthcare, respect around the world, or an economy that serves them. Or PEACE.

So they're having to crow about stuff like this. Lots of gold plating. Subconsciously, they know they've been had. By a con man.
