Trump Ballroom Unlikely To Be Built

[Marchimedes]

$800 million.

For what?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I disagree but tell you what. If you think it's important enough to do, it's important enough to pay for it.

I'll bet those who are going to come up short on their health insurance payments would love to have it.

The subsidies that cost $2 billion/year?

I'm going to let you take some time with that and turn it over in your head for a bit. Because it's a hilariously bad point and a specious appeal to emotion.

Including what we are giving Israel that's nearly 3/4 of it.

I'll note, you didn't address my second point.

Trump has a history of not delivering on his promises and screwing his partners, investors and contractors

How can you prove your remark?

Frankly, I can't think of a better metaphor for the whole Trump Regime. They are very good at tearing things down, but they suck at actually building anything.

The White House ballroom will never be built

Trump can't focus long enough, even on his $400 million passion project

www.salon.com

In October, Donald Trump traumatized all true patriots by tearing down the East Wing of the White House. The move, he claims, will clear the way for a ballroom for holding large events that are typically held in tents on the South Lawn. A debate immediately arose online over whether or not the next Democratic president should tear down the ballroom or keep it, albeit with the necessary extensive renovations to remove all the tackiness Trump brings to any project.

Two months later, it increasingly seems that such discussion was a wasted effort, as the chance this ballroom will actually be built is rapidly disappearing. Perhaps it could have if Trump had delegated the management of the project to someone competent, but that’s not what he did. Instead, the famously lazy and disorganized president decided to blow off his actual governance duties in favor of micromanaging a construction project he is incapable of handling. Finishing the ballroom in the next three years would be difficult for anyone, but it’s quickly becoming clear it will be nearly impossible for the famed real estate tycoon to pull it off.

For anyone who has dealt with any renovation project more complex than patching drywall, the ballroom’s construction is waving every red flag possible, signaling endless delays that will stretch for months — and, in all likelihood, for years. Despite announcing plans for the ballroom in July, it’s clear there’s no idea what it’s going to look like, how big it will be or how it will be laid out. Trump keeps changing things, driven by a short-sighted impulsiveness that keeps pushing him to expand the scope of the project. Initially, it was supposed to seat 650 people in 90,000 square feet, but he kept throwing tantrums about how he wanted it bigger. Earlier this month, he even ran off the initial architect, and odds are that will happen again.

Then there’s the red tape. Even though a judge ruled against the National Trust for Historic Preservation in their lawsuit to temporarily halt construction, he required the White House to avoid building anything foundational and demanded plans for the structure be submitted by the end of the year. But as the White House hasn’t even scheduled meetings with the National Capital Planning Commission to start the process, meeting that deadline appears unlikely.

That ballroom will most definitely be built and it will be a huge upgrade to what was there. Democrats will never admit it of course. They'd rather destroy it which is about the only thing they are good at.

Trump gets things done. Like deport American citizens instead of focusing on criminal illegal aliens.
He imposes tariffs on countries that don't even export to the United States.

He and Mike Johnson shut down the government, to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

You are largely off base

Native born American citizens cannot be deported

Not even by trump

But naturalized citizens are here only if they behave themselves

I dont know if we have revoked anyones citizenship

But I can think of some who should get canceled

You could have a point where tariffs are concerned

They should have been focused on our enemies like china instead of our allies

Wasn't what was claimed.

I'll note, you didn't address my second point.

I sure did. I directly compared the numbers. Ukraine is not why subsidies are going away, and we can afford both.

Nah, trump will be out before it is finished. And the next president will stop the vanity project immediately.

How can you prove your remark?

From Federal and State court records.
Like the paint supplier Trump stiffed out of $32,000, and then fought the lawsuit to the tune of about $380,000 final judgement.

If the guys lawyer wasn't working on a contingency basis, the small paint company would never have been able to afford all the groundless appeals Trump put them through.

That's how we know.

If it's so important, pay for it.

None of it is being paid for under either party.

Actually those are the one's Trump is now fighting to deport. People born in this country.

I am. See? Here i am , telling them to pay for it.

And you're shilling for the fat charity thief trying to delete that rule and deport them.

You people have the self awareness of a turnip.

I sure do miss when Democrats condemned stupid useless wars.

Proof would be you posting court records. See you don't like Trump at all and your every sentence shows how biased and bigoted you actually are. You are also not a we.

Today, the Supreme Court announced that it will hear oral argument in our birthright citizenship case.

The case blocks President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to take away the right to birthright citizenship for many native-born American children,

You're right that Trump can't do that.

You're wrong, about Trump doing it
Only a federal restraining order prevented it.

Let us all pray you never are on any Jury. You are so biased and bigoted.

I was just paraphrasing the case I previously posted here a number of times.

Example:

Plaintiff: Juan Carlos Enriquez, owner of the Miami-based paint business "The Paint Spot".
Defendant: Trump Endeavor, a Trump Organization company that owns the Trump National Doral Miami resort.
The Claim: Enriquez's company supplied over $142,000 worth of paint to a subcontractor for the resort's $200 million renovation, but the final payment of approximately $32,000 was withheld. Trump's company argued that the work was unsatisfactory or that procedures for billing were not followed correctly.
The Outcome: A Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge ruled in Enriquez's favor in 2016, ordering the resort to pay the outstanding balance. Trump's company appealed the decision, but an appeals court upheld the original ruling in April 2017.
Total Award: The final amount the Trump company was ordered to pay swelled to over $315,000, which included the original $32,000 bill plus significant legal fees awarded to Enriquez's lawyer for taking the case on contingency. The judge in the initial case had even filed paperwork for the potential foreclosure sale of the resort if the debt wasn't paid.
This case was one of hundreds of lawsuits and liens filed against Donald Trump's businesses over allegations of unpaid bills from contractors and workers over the decades.
