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."

Wasn't he just bitching about the Fed wasting money on pointless crap like this? Typical Trump hypocrisy.

Who fucking cares, they do this constantly. Stop wasting time caring about their blatant hypocrisy. They literally could not care less.

I can assure you this barely registers as a blip on my Give-a-Shitometer. What's it to you if it did? What compelled you to reply to my comment?
