    I’m surprised it’ll be in the white house and not in mar-a-lago

      You didn’t read the article I guess. There is already one at Mar a Lago.

      It also says he and donors will pay for it. Does anyone believe that I wonder.

        Well, of course. Just like Mexico paid for the wall.

    It’s privately funded, so no tax dollars will be used. That’s a good thing.

      Privately funded projects like this still come from exploited surplus value, there aren’t any working class folks decking out a ballroom for 200 million. Whether it be directly through taxation or indirectly through capitalist appropriation, it’s still coming from the working class.

    Trump’s version of “Let them eat cake.”

    A real opposition party would be screaming “class divide” from the rooftops, but we all know the Democrats are no more interested in raising class consciousness than the Republicans.

    Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

      It’s actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you’re talking millions you’re being distracted.

    The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn’t be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He’d be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

    What? Americans were supposed to be getting healthcare from the government? Since when?

      Since day 1:

      certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

      Can’t survive, let alone pursue happiness, without healthcare and can’t have liberty without either.

      mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

      But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government
