    A convicted felon is literally destroying the White House. And half this country approves.

      Yeah, but didja see how he owned the libz? I might not have clean air, clean water, health care, food, shelter, or a job with dignity, but I get to fly some Chinese junk with Taco’s name on it!

      I don’t approve of it, but I don’t really care if he tears it down. Actually, I think the whole White House should be torn down, preferably with Trump and all his friends inside it.

      What I oppose is him using tax dollars for this ballroom that none of his subjects will ever be allowed to use or get utility from. Plus the literally everything else he’s ever done 😆

        Honestly, I would like the peasantry to just tear through that ballroom and take all the valuables. After all, it is our money.

          You should go up to him on his gold throne, knock his gold crown off his badly weaved head, and tell him that.

          Until someone does that I don’t think king Donvict Drumpf will agree with you.

        To be fair, in the pursuit of accuracy, they have said it’s all private funding taking care of it with some coming from strongarm lawsuits. I think that’s easy to verify with receipts, no details released yet. The honourable thing to have done would be to fund government paychecks with that money, and that would probably be a good move politically, but obviously not happening.

          Yes, the $250 million is all private funding. Completely above board.

          Also, totally coincidentally and not at all related, Trump wants the DOJ to pay him $230 million of tax payers money. Totally unrelated. Don’t know why I brought it up.

          He’s said similar before with his salary, while going on to take bribes and use the government to pay for services at his businesses.

          Being fair does not mean swallowing lies if intentions from a known liar. Sure, if receipts are forthcoming, we change. They won’t come.

            No disagreement here, just want to make sure we get the nuance into the conversation where appropriate.
