Trump: "We are going to make and build a ballroom at the White House."

And then he'll refuse to pay the contractors.

How exactly does building a ballroom in the White House directly help someone in say North Carolina who is still recovering from hurricane damage?

Or the price of groceries?

She's entering her Caligula phase.

Can't the East Room be used for dancing to 'YMCA'.......and pulling those testicles in a jig typical of TFG?

R3, I visited the Palazzo Massimo in Rome a few years ago, where the remains of Caligula's pleasure barge are on display, and I was shocked at how gorgeous everything was. We'd be lucky if Trump had Caligula-level taste, even if he made his horse a senator or whatever.

No-one in the Trump administration including Trump cares about that kind of shit R2!

Who the fuck cares?

He can pay for it with all the grift.

I'm sure it will be in exquisite taste.

What if he built a ballroom, and no-one came to dance?

There’s already a “ball room” in the WH it’s called the East Room: “The White House's East Room is a grand, multi-purpose space primarily used for large gatherings, ceremonies, and social events. It's the largest room in the Executive Residence and has hosted everything from press conferences and bill-signing ceremonies to state dinners, weddings, and funerals.”

Dump is spewing all this nonsense like Alcatraz being reopened to distract from the shit storm re the economy that’s about to happen. Rather than report what Dump said, every news organization should report he’s saying this shit as a distraction. It would not be inaccurate to report as such: Dump proposed this (whatever ludicrous idea) to perhaps distract citizens from his devastating economic policies.”

He's moving in PERMANENTLY.

THIS is the basis for all of the drivel coming from the WH.

And the bathrooms will have gold plaited toilets, just like Mar-A-Lago. And, just like Mar-A-Lago, the bathrooms will be used as storage rooms for top secret government documents.

Gold everywhere cause it’s classy.

One silver lining to Trump is now I know there is no God.

Gold braid, R14?

Pave the Rose Garden, build a Ballroom, build a Throne roomm ... er .... not yet

Well, the Oval Office now looks like a brothel in Bucharest, so... the damage is already done. The repair, if possible, will be difficult.

R11 is right - you think we've had the White House for 150 years and no place for state dinners, parties and dancing? WTF?

This is a grift - and he wants to put his developer stamp on it - will call it the Trump Ballroom I'm sure.

Then he will throw private parties there and charge stupid GOP and MAGAs $1000 or more per plate and pocket the money. Or use it as a legal bribe - foreign dignitaries will pay $500k or $1 million.

Which government? The Saudis? The Ukrainians? Oh just saw R21, so I don't need to say more.

He doesn’t plan to leave.

Big Macs and McNuggets

r23 are you also r12?

[quote]We are going to make and build a ballroom at the White House

Couldn't they build it without making it?

Bingo r13

The fascinating images @ R20 ensure I never now need to drop acid. The design choices are so inventively deplorable.

The White House was never that great. But it never looked like a casino.

Disgraceful. But what can you expect from a sleazy former reality TV star?

For thelife of me I can't understand why every published quote from him doesn't start and end, "Trump, who has lied over 30,000 times during his last presidency, says.... There is no evidence that this claim is any different.."

Every fucking day is an Etch A Sketch

Exactly r31. The ulterior motives for his rantings are never reported.
