TACO wants his White House Ballroom [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Trump has said that he would spend $100 million of his own money to build a new ballroom at the White House. He's still saying it when we know that Trump only spends other people's money.

What has never been clear is if we are talking about a totally separate building or if the White House is going to be ripped apart for it, with the likely East Room, which is already a ballroom.

This is what the Mar-a-Lago ballroom looks like when it's empty.

Mar-a-Lago Grand Ballroom.

Trump thinks he's an expert in ballrooms and how they're built. If he's the architect, we're in trouble.

"Just inspected the site of the new Ballroom that will be built, compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House."

Thus is confusing. "Site" implies a new building. It would ruin the symmetrical nature of the White House and the grounds. He's had 4 complete years to waltz around the property and the inside of the White House, and the last 8 months, so, why does he need to inspect the site at all?

Then he goes off into the wild third person of being built "by a man known as." I would love to see him with hammers and nails or a saw like Jimmy Carter did with Habitats for Humanity. No, we're not going to see that. And when it's finished he'll refuse to pay the workers. He's done that with his buildings his whole life, why should he stop now?

"... it never got built because nobody previously had any knowledge or experience in doing such things --- But I do, like nobody else..."

He just loves taking credit whenever he can, whenever he is undeserving of it. Credit for the good, the bad is somebody else's fault. Trump bought Mar-a-Lago in 1985 and the Grand Ballroom was finished in 2005. All he could have done was approve plans. I can't find out how long it actually took to build.

"... it will go up very quickly, and be a wonderful addition, very much in keeping with the magnificent White House itself."

"Go up quickly." Still sounding like a separate building entirely. "Very much in keeping." Still sounds like a separate building.

"These are the 'fun' projects I do while thinking about the World Economy, the United States, China, Russia, and lots of other Countries, places, and events."

You know, I wish that these "fun" projects kept him from doing anything else. He claims that he can think. I'm not going to give that to him. There are simply dehydrated brainworms that roll around in his head like marbles.

"It will all be good, maybe even GREAT, depending on who is the President of the U.S.A.!"

It's confusing again. He's talking like it won't be done by the time he finishes this presidential term. Either that, or he's saying that the ballroom is never going to be great unless he's president. He already went third person earlier, he might be doing it again.

TACO has already turned the Oval Office into a white and gold, tacky room in bad taste, just like the Qatar 747 brothel. You can depend on that the new ballroom, wherever it is, is going to be the same all gold as his ballroom at Mar-a-Lago.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for TACO to write that $100 million check. MAGA faithful are going to be way too happy to give their money to Trump, instead of eating, paying the rent, and living a miserable life. All depends on whether the news that the Big Ugly Bill is going to bankrupt them gets into their echo chamber, and they understand it's going to happen to them, not just Democrats and undocumented immigrants.

The ballroom is unnecessary and ostentatious. As the effects of the tariffs are felt completely, maybe people will understand they're being robbed. If the Big Ugly Bill passes, they will understand they're not only being robbed again, but without healthcare, they may not live long enough to spend what little money they have.

Donald Trump doesn't need a ballroom. He needs a padded cell

Oh, by the way, it's National Ocean Month.
