Donald Trump's White House Ballroom Price Tag Suddenly Massively Jumps Again

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump delivered an update on the cost of building his much-hyped White House ballroom on Tuesday.

The venue, which the president controversially razed the East Wing to make way for, will now cost $400 million, he revealed during his speech at a White House Hanukkah reception.

Previously, Trump had talked about the construction project price being $250 million, and then $300 million.

“We’re donating a $400 million ballroom,” Trump said, adding another $100 million to the cost.

Piggy says it's part of National Security. Hence the high cost.

1. The extra $100 million is just the "kick up" to Trump.

[Klarkashton]

2. That abomination will never be built.

6. Exactly

As long as it stays unfinished he can keep raising the price and soliciting "donations" that are actually bribes. He and his family and his cronies will just pocket the entire amount, and then Trump will pardon everyone including himself.

7. Yep. It's been a scam from the start to solicit "donations"

which Trump will then personally steal for himself.

3. $400 million dollar ballroom. Was first $200m, then $250m, $300m, $350m. Private donations. Very little accountability.

How much is being taken in as 'donations'?
How much is actually spent?
What happens to the excess?

Very little accountability.

5. Nothing is ever going to be built

It's all a grift to raise money which he will then steal for himself.

[Klarkashton]

8. No accountability. It's a "national security" program now.

The rational will morph into some classified top secret shit as things get worse.

[Wiz Imp]

4. It's clear at this point that even Trump has never had any intention of building a ballroom

This has all been a grift to get money "donated", and he will simply steal all that money. That's why the price tag keeps going up. Once he reaches a level, he knows he can scam more - so the price is now $100 million more.

9. By the end of next year, the "cost" will have jumped up to $600 million.

The East Wing will still be rubble, and the ballroom will just be a hole in the ground.
Grifters gotta grift, and Trump is a world class grifter.

10. $100K ought to get him a nice Double-Wide. As a plus, he could pull it to Florida when he leaves office.

11. Perish the thought of living like a commoner!

[Karch]

12. Make It Make Sense

Food for thought:

13. When he's gone, we're gonna have to spend a lot of money and time "Debugging" the White House

A lot of construction going on, etc. etc…. This may be for more than just his vanity….. beware

[uncle ray]

14. Billion Dollar Ballroom just kinda rolls off the tongue.

[Lonestarblue]

15. It probably also grew so large that the White House will need to be torn down.

Trump is totally untrustworthy.

16. The price of gold continues to rise....

as a hedge against his shitty economy.
