    In July, the ballroom was going to cost 200 million.

    In September, he said 250 million.

    In October, the cost became 300 million.

    SNAP food benefits cost 100 billion for the entire fiscal year of 2024. However, due to the government shut down (because they cannot agree on health care btw; give you two guesses who want to take it away), SNAP benefits will not be paid out to hungry families for November.

    A small skyscraper can be built for 300 million. This is a ballroom.

    Americans, you’re not angry enough.

    Edited to add: Forgot to add! He has given the go ahead on this project without the proper permits being approved.

    He is also going to seek 250 million from DOJ for them investigating him. That’s taxpayer dollars, to be clear

    Edited to correct 100 million to 100 billion.

      But wouldn’t you rather have a ballroom that only elites will ever get to see? Hungry people are going to be hungry whether or not they get food. The Elites, though, how are they gonna get their ball without a room?

      He’s also probably digging up the FDR bunker and replacing it with a bigger one with guns, an elevator and a stripper pole.

      He’s also wanting to use the construction as a smokescreen to expand the Fuhrerbunker Presidential bunker.
