The renderings are complete, the architects and contractors have been hired. After at least 15 years of talking about it, President Trump is building a ballroom at the White House. According to the White House, the work will begin this September, with a price tag of $200 million.
“President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail,” said White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in a statement on Thursday. “The President and the Trump White House are fully committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserving the special history of the White House while building a beautiful ballroom that can be enjoyed by future Administrations and generations of Americans to come.”
According to the article the president offhandedly suggested that a ballroom be built by his company around 15 years ago, and whoever he suggested it to correctly ignored this idiotic idea. So basically he’s going to spend $200 million dollars of tax payer money building a ballroom where one already exists as an act of exceedingly petty revenge because someone hurt his precious delicate feelings over a decade ago.
Seems pretty on brand
Jesus fucking christ $200 million for a fucking room to dance in?
He’ll also hold teen pageants with change rooms he can barge into.
Probably more like $90 mil to build the room. &110 for the _privilege _ to build it.
That’s the total after accounting for all of the graft.
And the fucker can’t even dance!

Petty revenge and siphoning off taxpayer money. Two birds, one stone.
