The renderings are complete, the architects and contractors have been hired. After at least 15 years of talking about it, President Trump is building a ballroom at the White House. According to the White House, the work will begin this September, with a price tag of $200 million.

"President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail," said White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in a statement on Thursday. "The President and the Trump White House are fully committed to working with the appropriate organizations to preserving the special history of the White House while building a beautiful ballroom that can be enjoyed by future Administrations and generations of Americans to come."

What contractor would even consider doing anything for this shitty tasteless moneypit of a sub human? He never posts his bills.

Even when he has access to public funds to pay for his horrible ideas, nobody gets paid but he and his chronies.

I bet there will be Russian and China backed contractors offering the cheapest.

Contractors with ties to foreign governments, so they can sneak in certain listening devices.
