The White House Ballroom was supposed to be funded by private donations.
Below is a video montage of all the times Donald Trump said so.
Chalk up another in the pile of thousands of lies from the Liar in Chief, along with “Mexico will pay for the wall,” “I’ll have a health care plan out in a couple of weeks,” “They’re eatting the dogs,” “We’re only getting rid of the worst,” and “The war (with Iran) will be over in four to five weeks.”
While children are going hungry and without health insurance because Mr. Trump and his Plutocratic-Oligarchic-loving Republican allies in Congress robbed the poor and gave it to the wealthy through tax cuts and construction monies to private prision donors to build American Concentration Camps (please click here to watch Representative Adelita Grijalva’s visit to one such facilty in Texas) in the Big Billionaires First Act, these same examples of the politically tone deaf and shameless want to spend a billion dollars on the White House Ballroom, that the man who bankrupted a casino said he and his private donors would pay for.
The meme captures the mood of all those who supported Kamala Harris and tried to convince the American People to remember the record during the 2024 Presidential Elections.
Arizona Congressional District Three Representative Yassamin Ansari issued two posts on Trump-MAGA Republican misplaced priorities.
“Add the ballroom to the laundry list of things Trump said someone else would pay for. Ultimately, of course, it’s always the American people footing the bill for his outrageous pet projects.
A $1BN price tag while he rips away your healthcare. Sickening.”
Representative Ansari is right.
This is sickening, especially considering Trump regime officials like Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins are openly bragging about millions of people being kicked off food assistance SNAP rolls.
The money should go to funding healthcare and childcare.
It is also sadly predictable, given what Mr. Trump and his loyalists did in his first term and so far in his second.
Hopefully, the political tide that Democrats have fared well in since the Mad King’s return will continue in 2026, 2027, and 2028 with voters continuing to realize that Republicans do not support them.
The campaign slogans and ads should really write themselves.

And these “leaders” don’t seem to have a clue as to why the French and Russian revolutions happened. As an eighteenth century Man in Black may have sung:
I hear the tumbrels rolling
Rolling round the bend
We ain’t been free from hunger
Since I don’t know when…
