The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget, ahead of schedule, being built at no cost to the Taxpayer, and will be the finest Building of its kind anywhere in the World. I then get sued by them over the renovation of the dilapidated and structurally unsound former Kennedy Center, now, The Trump Kennedy Center (A show of Bipartisan Unity, a Republican and Democrat President!), where all I am doing is fixing, cleaning, running, and “sprucing up” a terribly maintained, for many years, Building, but a Building of potentially great importance. Yet, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005, is not suing the Federal Reserve for a Building which has been decimated and destroyed, inside and out, by an incompetent and possibly corrupt Fed Chairman. The once magnificent Building is BILLIONS over budget, may never be completed, and may never open. All of the beautiful walls inside have been ripped down, never to be built again, but the National “Trust” for Historic Preservation never did anything about it! Or, have they sued on Governor Gavin Newscum’s “RAILROAD TO NOWHERE” in California that is BILLIONS over Budget and, probably, will never open or be used. So, the White House Ballroom, and The Trump Kennedy Center, which are under budget, ahead of schedule, and will be among the most magnificent Buildings of their kind anywhere in the World, gets sued by a group that was cut off by Government years ago, but all of the many DISASTERS in our Country are left alone to die. Doesn’t make much sense, does it? President DONALD J. TRUMP
The claim of the Ballroom being underbudget is ridiculous. Based on the size and the cost estimate of between $300 million to $400 million, the cost per square foot is over $3000. Comparable constructions costs in DC are between $500 and $800 per sq. ft. So, using a similar calculus, I could budget $1 million for a double-wide, complete the job for the typical $250K, and presto, I am underbudget!
Given that the Ballroom is so expensive and funded by "private donations," it is safe to assume that there are kickbacks and serious money laundering going on.
The drumpf ballroom is headed for the same fate as his casino. It was vacant from 2014 until it went POOF! in 2021.
You didn't answer my question, squirmy wormy. Why haven't you volunteered? You say it's kill or be killed time. So go sign up! What's the hold up?
Oh, you want other people to go die to satisfy your idiotic bloodlust? How convenient! American soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain, as you watch clips of the violence on your phone like a movie and post bravely about how much you support it. THIS defines who you are: a chickenhawk, chickensh*t coward.
it's the boss party paradox. i think the powers that be of the boss party remain as neocon as ever. they get off on the violence.
however, as the electorate has reconfigured, their voters are mostly poor white people aka the sort of people who join the military. this scares mom and dad. mom and dad are fairly anti-war.
as with about 20 other things republican, such as social programs and tariffs, they have to convince poor people to vote for them with whom they should actually disagree.
Trump's was at 0 cost to taxpayers. A random preservation trust should not be able to halt it.
Only problem is that, while the much needed renovation took place during Obama's Administration, the funding for renovation was approved by Congress in 2008, during the Bush Administration.

A new Financial Times report reveals that Hegseth's broker tried to steer millions into major defense contractors just weeks before the Iran war escalated.
According to the report, the broker at Morgan Stanley reached out to BlackRock in February about investing heavily in its iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF. That fund is packed with weapons giants like RTX Corp, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, companies that profit directly from war.
The deal reportedly never went through because the fund was not yet available to Morgan Stanley clients. It is still unclear whether another defense investment was pursued instead.
The Pentagon is scrambling to shut this story down -- Hegseth sent an underling to deny it. But it's too late. The story's out there, and the Financial Times is standing by their three sources.
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I are working on fixing the absolutely filthy Reflecting Pool between the Trump Lincoln Memorial and the Trump Washington Monument. This work was supposed to be done by the Biden Administration, but Sleepy Joe doesn’t know what “CLEAN” or proper maintenance is — The President and Secretary do!
(I added 1 word twice here...will their names be changed as well?)
we're running DOGE and having wars, and you're babbling about interior decorating. it's like when we're mid war and he's discussing his ballroom.
He's the same guy who yesterday was criticizing Lindsay Graham for going to DisneyLand during a war, and yet here he is posting about interior decorating during a war.
Thanks biden's handlers and california, what a disgrace! Shame.

Trump has the same open border policy as Biden. Where is the border wall he promised to build 10 years ago? A country without a border wall is open border no matter the enforcement.
I disagree on this...the ones we don't want are destitute illegals having a kid on American soil who somehow becomes a citizen. I don't think that it's a great thing that these get citizenship but am fine with it – it's a far smaller amount and they can economically benefit the country (greatly).
Birthright Citizenship has to do with the babies of slaves, not Chinese Billionaires who have 56 kids, all of whom “become” American Citizens. One of the many Great Scams of our time! President DONALD J. TRUMP
These are the photos that allegedly show Kristi Noem’s husband Bryon wearing comically oversized, lopsided breasts – complete with fake protruding nipples – to female members of a fetish community.…
The old stand by. When things are going wrong for Trump and MAGA, and the walls are caving in, immediately go to illegal immigration. Of course, illegal immigrants never committed crimes in the USA when Trump was President.
In the Ballroom case, the Judge said we have to get Congressional approval. He is WRONG! Congressional approval has never been given on anything, in these circumstances, big or small, having to do with construction at the White House. In this case, even less so, because the Ballroom is being built with Private Donations, no Federal Taxpayer Money!

Everyone knows that Trump knows more than the judges on matters of law.

When a judge is stricken with tremendous amounts of TDS, he doesn't understand the law, nor will he rule fairly – at all!

It looks like Trump is doing that thing he likes to do where his tweets and public statements sink his court cases. All along he was bragging about how he needed a big beautiful ballroom. Now that his construction has been stopped by a judge he is pivoting to saying this building project is about making the white house more secure.
What could go wrong! I see absolutely no historical parallels, nein!
Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn
The government’s effort to collect the names and phone numbers of Jewish people on campus as it investigates antisemitism has upset some people who worry about how the information will be used.

I didn't know universities kept lists of Jews on campus.

You understand that the precedent Trump is trying to set would mean that a Democratic President could walk in on day one and reduce Trump's ballroom to rubble, right? In fact, they could raze the entire White House and rebuild something more to their liking, if done with contributions.
Is that the world you want to live in?
Or do you just bank that a Democrat would never do that because Democrats aren't nuts, like Trump is?

The American people own the land, so Congress decides. Trump has no more right to bulldoze and build a Whie House ballroom than he has to bulldoze the Many Glacier Hotel to build a Trump resort.
"Together, the Property Clause, the Appropriations Clause, and the District Clause establish Congress's primacy over federal property, spending, and the District of Columbia."
3 USC 105 - Trump's primary argument - "the list of authorized actions-which includes words like "care, maintenance, repair" and "air-conditioning, heating, and lighting"-bring to mind things like replacing the lightbulbs, fixing broken furniture, and changing the wallpaper, not wholesale demolition of entire buildings and construction of new ones."
"Congress has affirmatively prohibited the "erect[ion]" of "[a] building or structure" "on any reservation, park, or public grounds of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia without express authority of Congress." 40 U.S.C. § 8106."
