Construction jobs pay very well. Plenty of opportunities for employment.
So now we need a Ballroom?

Except that it has created jobs, and without the taxpayers footing the bill.
What are you bitching about?

Trump is replacing a handful of office buildings with a ballroom.
That’s it. No more, and no less.
As a general matter, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with a president making changes to the White House.
Nor, for that matter, is there anything sinister about his approving complicated construction projects that involve the temporary removal of one of its walls.
Over the years, presidents of both parties and of all leadership styles have done precisely this, and nobody has cared one whit.
Some of those presidents, such as Harry Truman and Theodore Roosevelt, used public money to pay for their modifications. Some, such as John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, and Gerald Ford, raised private funds.
In all cases, they left the White House in a different state than they found it; in no cases did that decision imply incipient fascism, betray an inappropriate sense of permanent ownership, or justify tears and outrage from the president’s political critics.

A few construction jobs are not significant. Trump is tearing down the east wing, which he said he would not do. He is bulldozing part of the White House. The funding facts will come out later. We know Trump lies. Maintaining and protecting his gaudy ballroom will be a forever expense. Why do you back every damn thing that crook does?
Yeah, so is Popeye, but that don’t make it realstill winning everything.

Ah, no one knows how this idiotic ballroom is being paid for, so far all we have is “Trump says,” and he himself is claiming he will pay for the majority of it, like that is an answer
And on top of that, the plans haven’t even been submitted to the appropriate positions yet

First of all, you have no idea about 'Trump's world.' You've bought every libtard fantasy about Trump, his family, his company, and his friends. It was disgusting but at the same time amusing watching the left try to destroy Trump from day one. They started with the very old idea that came from Stalin's head of the secret police, 'Show me the man, and I'll show you the crime.' I could go on and inform you about the truth but I feel like I'd be wasting my time.
As for your brilliant comment 'why can't he get them to pay for something America actually needs.' Every person investing already pays something Americans really need every week, paychecks. You morons think that jobs are a right and just exist automatically like fairyland. In reality those millionaires and billionaires mostly got that way because they created wildly successful businesses that produce a product that free people voluntarily purchase among a sea of competition for those consumer dollars. They do such a good job providing that product they need lots of other people to fill all the orders. Believe it or not they have to negotiate with a free person for their time and skills coming to an agreeable fee for that exchange called a wage. Amazingly all of the players in this game are completely free people acting as they choose without coercion or any kind of force. So, your brainless comment ignores that everyone of those people provide much more for everyday Americans than you or any number of your libtard heroes every have or ever will. Libtards are terrible judges of character because of how low there own is. They are rightfully suspicious of everyone if they believe that everyone is like them. This is why you are so suspicious of your fellow man, you think everyone thinks like you do, well, let me tell you, they don't. You're a dying breed,
Apparently you think there’s some 'Libtard TDS Manual' demanding presidents need permission to touch the White House? A quick Google might jolt that delusional brain of yours. Presidents have been sprucing up the place forever, no permission needed then, and Trump sure doesn’t now. Still, your America-loving dealmaker made sure to clear it with the White House Historical Association, because he’s classy like that. Oh, and it’s not costing us a dime, bet that stings. I know, I've heard your dumbass buddies on CNN and MsNow suggesting that Trump will somehow use this space to profit, lol. While you’re seething, drowning in your radical libtard tears, Trump’s having the time of his life making America great again and now making the White House great again. LMFAO at your misery, it’s glorious and well deserved.

Why do we need a ballroom, the country has managed without one for over 200 years.
The poster claimed the rentals would cost more than the ballroom, which is why I asked the questions, and now that that is settled, show us where this would cost more than
That doesn’t make it right
Wrong, in fact, no one knows where the money is coming from, it’s all “Trump says”
I guess if you believe what a pathological liar says is true, no taxpayer money is involved, but keep in mind this same guy said he would never play golf is elected President along with over 20,000+ documented lies
Again. Paid for by private folks cost to the taxpayer $0. Renting tents, providing security (easily violated, if you remember the two crashers at the Obama's first outdoor event), etc. cost to the taxpayer $actualmoney...
I'll take 0 vs anything at all....
Regardless. renovating the WH to add a large event venue is something that has been needed for a long time. That it is getting finished now at no cost to me... I am good with that. And, yes, I would be good with it if a democrat paid for it without taking my money to pay for it too....

Is that so? Link up.
The fact is that cumulatively, the ongoing costs of reinstalling, installing tents and infrastructure and then dismantling all of it again will eventually cost the taxpayers more than the ballroom, which ain't hard to understand, because the ballroom isn't publicly funded.

You don't get to decide what's right or wrong.
