Here is a brief overview of the new ballroom being built by President Trump without using any taxpayer funds. It's being built with private donations and funds from President Trump himself. This will add to the overall uniqueness of the White House. It will join a long list of modifications many presidents have taken over the years such as the Truman Balcony, the indoor swimming pool, the bowling alley, etc. #GoTrump
This will need a name. The name for the Truman Balcony is simple and understated, but kinda ho-hum. So, I think “The Trump Ballroom” is a little too plain. How about “The Big, Beautiful, Magnificent, Grand, Shove-It-Up-Your-Ass-Liberals-You-Lost-And-I’m-The-President-Elections-Have-Consequences-Go-Scream-At-The-Sky-Your-Lawfare-Tactics-Backfired-And-You’ve-Been-Hoisted-On-Your-Own-Petard-Vote-Trump-In-2028 Ballroom? That has a nice ring to it!
I will second that!…… I have always said the man could eat beans and fart daisies and the left would scourge him for it. Every president has left his mark on the White House at taxpayer expense and nary an eyebrow gets lifted. The man has done more good for the nation in ten months than most have done in two terms. He is throwing criminals out of our nation and off our overtaxed welfare system. And somehow, he is the bad guy…… I think it is time to begin deporting liberals before they have half a chance to tear us as far apart as we were this time last year. They should be ashamed to call themselves American.
About that ballroom... Even if the money isn't explicitly for building it, it highlights it as an absurd boondoggle if peripheral security costs this much
I have admittedly been quite harried of late with the economy booming as it is in my area and I am woefully behind in my news. I have not heard this. Is there any meat behind this assertion or is this an internet meme?
Here's the article it's from. It's real, but it explicitly can't be used for non-security related construction. However, I'd still call that us paying for it, especially since the whole thing was originally only supposed to be $200m https://www.fox4news.com/news/repub...JFRpAqF4zg-hhoZvY2_aem_rXZc7EL9aO2Xz9ayQfXKTQ
Had Democrats not cheered on the assassin class there might have been no need to secure this ballroom any differently than the former East Wing.
I read the article. And given the terrifying repeated attempts at POTUS life, I can’t say that I disagree. It isn’t funding for the facility. It is funding for the security. And that makes sense given the lawlessness that is so prevalent in society these days. The ballroom needed to happen. I doubt that Trump will even have the opportunity to use the facility given the pace of construction. Virtually every POTUS has improved the White House and nary an eyebrow has ever been raised. It’s simply the weary day in day out knee jerk negative reaction to anything Trump does. It is tiresome and it is counterproductive to the national welfare…… But then the national welfare is unimportant in this “all about me” society we live in currently, isn’t it?
So you're both going with it's okay to spend a billion extra dollars on security because of assassination attempts? That implies: 1. They hadn't previously considered the threat of... a lone gunman running at them. 2. Protecting against said gunmen costs a billion dollars. A better question, how much was in the original budget for security? Also, if security costs so much more than regular construction, was it always the plan to stick it on the taxpayers?
Typical for a lib . . . It isn't only the lone gunman about which the Secret Service is concerned. It is the widespread liberal support for political assassination which has them feeling the need to bolster their measures. Never before have so many been so out of their minds, and willing to do the unthinkable . . . Un-American, downright uncivilized and just plain stupid!
The debt & deficit will be our downfall and I place the blame squarely on all of them... Having said that I am far more in favor of a billion for POTUS security than a billion for gay pride party balloons in Bolivia sorts of hullabaloo.
So, let me get this straight... Liberals hate the idea that President Trump is building a ballroom using no taxpayer funds. While I'm trying to figure out WHY they would hate it, they start complaining that securing the ballroom is going to cost money. Well, guess what idiots: It costs money to secure the White House and protect the President. Money that is allotted every year no matter if the President is at the White House, the ballroom, Martha's Vineyard, a foreign country or getting a BJ from Monica Lewinsky. Deal with it, you liberal morons.
Though the money they raised wasn't taxpayer funds, I believe democrats should have wisely invested their money into the security of the White House and protecting the President as opposed to blowing it trying to pass unconstitutional bullshit like their attempt to redistrict Virginia. Just sayin'. Social media erupts after Democrats 'burned $64M' on failed Virginia gerrymander Nearly $40M came from a super PAC aligned with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries May 8, 2026 The Virginia Supreme Court’s ruling striking down Democrats' costly redistricting push sparked an uproar on social media over the massive sum the party spent to pass the now-defunct congressional map. Virginians for Fair Elections, the main pro-redistricting group, raised north of $64 million in support of the Democratic-friendly gerrymander that could have netted the party four GOP-held seats in November’s midterm elections. Nearly $40 million of that came from a super PAC aligned with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who was heavily involved in the effort to redraw the state’s congressional map. The pro-redistricting campaign outspent the opposition 10 to 1 on television ads, according to analysis from The Washington Post. But the legal challenge that Republicans helped bankroll to get the map thrown out proved more decisive. Read more: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/so...ocrats-burned-64m-failed-virginia-gerrymander
Hadn't thought about her in years so I had to look her up. She is more of a babe now than she was in her cigar smoking years.
I gotta say she's definitely better looking now than when Clinton was diddling her. I never really understood what he saw in her, but then I realized that he was married to one of the ugliest women to ever disgrace the earth. So, actually, I kinda sympathize with him... Honestly, which would you rather enjoy a cigar with?
But, for my taste, I would rather have Melania I would even let her drive my 58 vette! and my 1000 cc Thundercat snowmobile. Also, the debt 43T, I would love to have the interest on that debt for 24 hr period.
24 hours worth of interest sounds high to me . . . I could take a very nice vacation on the interest accrued in just one second.
