Fortune magazine admits to 37 donors so every donor must be wealthy. This has now become their business and not JoeB131's nor any of the folks posting who never donated.

The list, reviewed by Fortune, did not mention specific dollar amounts offered by each contributor.

I am an Independent. I explained my view , I don't think Democrats said anything like what I said.

I will keep that in mind. I commented on Democrats. Did you vote for republicans in your past?

Name me any independent that won a seat in congress. I mean the so-called independents are not a party.

But to discuss the ball room, given the very wealthy are paying for it, and the concept is very glamorous, why would you be against it?

That's more likely because you had a year of kids sitting at home, eating Cheetos, watching TV, and not exercising.

Destroying what he doesn't want or like.

Replacing outdated buildings with a new building that appears fantastic in photos.

Trump first proposed this when Obama was president. The east wing was not attached to the white house.

A building we really had no need for, other than to appease his ego.

Hey, kids, we're cutting your school lunches, but look at this new ballroom we are making.

Marie Antoinette wasn't this clueless.

Being paid for by donations. Typical libtard.

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.

So he’s going to leave a smoking hole on the ground

Like he did to the country last time he was in office

In fact like Bush the Lesser did when HE slunk out of DC

Kind of a trend

Looks pretty awesome to me.

I can only speak for myself but building monolithic structures that feign / embody nationalism are generally things despots and authoritarian leaders create. Maybe it helps them feel big. Whatever I view it as a negative to have anything like that in reference to a US President. Also theore grandiose it is that most likely reflects a psychological problem as well.

By definition leaders are authoritarians. However, you must know the Democrats pack more laws on our citizens than any Republican ever has.

Trump has killed many regulations. And will kill more of them.

The fabulous building is under construction. The so-called hole was a building not attached to the White house at all.

No Joe, you are right. You will never be in the ball room. Trump proposed it to Obama, but he snuck out.

Last week's release of the latest re-design doesn't look bad. I believe it is one of the lesser lame-brained ideas of Trump's. I just wonder where all the Tea Party folks have gone that would have been harping about the increased upkeep cost including that for the additionally required heating and cooling.

Really. You guys are having conniptions over the Kennedy Center. Progs rule a lot of property in D.C. The taxpayer be damned.

That fits right in with the White House.
