      Look… it’s a ballroom. It’s definitely not a burial site for documents used to mix the concrete.

        It’s a very transparent corruption tool. When Trump was elected, he and his ghouls went around with the hat to get “donations” from all of the large companies. Especially the ones in big tech donated huge amounts for what turned out to be a very sad inauguration ceremony. After Trump gifted all of them huge tax benifits and removing restrictions and regulations, the time had come for the hat to go around again. But you can’t just donate directly to the president, then even the dumbest of the dumb would cry foul. So like the shitty landlord Trump has always been he destroyed part of the White House and announced plans for a huge new construction project. This allowed all of the assholes to once again “donate” to this project. A project that has caused a lot of damage to a monument in order to “own the libs” and had raked in millions in donations, but has done little else. All of this money is being pocketed by Trump and his goons.

        As with many terrible things, it’s all out in the open and yet America does nothing. Checks and balances indeed.

          It’s called “Money Laundering” and the Real Estate Developer version of it is one of the few things that Trump is actually an expert at. Because at his core, he’s a criminal.

            And what’s crazy is that he has crypto schemes that are even easier to use, but his Alzheimer’s addled brain can’t remember a time when he wasn’t swindling with real estate. So that’s what he’s fixating on.
