So, if Trump is using $500 million taxpayer dollars

[JPK]

To build his balling room, what has happened to the hundreds of millions donated by corporations and individuals?

[Bettie]

1. Where do you think?

Into his personal accounts.

I suspect tht if he leaves office, we'll find that he's stolen so much more than we can even imagine.

2. I think you are probably correct.

He never turns loose of a dollar he gets his hands on.

8. I understand his PAC is still refusing to donate money to help Republicans in the 2026 elections.

Supposedly, that is because he considers the campaign donations to be "his" money and he won't give up a dime of it.

3. Ever play Three Card Monte?

Follow the money card.

6. "Private donations will pay for the Ballroom" is Trump's latest version of "Mexico will pay for the Wall."

7. I dunno!

I mean, Don know.



The Conjuror by Hieronymus Bosch or his studio. Steve Bannon is on the right. Trump is seen at farthest left.

9. Missed where Congress funded it.

But donations for the thing went to the Trust for the National Mall, which has been around for a while and was set up specifically to allow donations for public projects that other entities had reviewed and approved.
