Is $200M spent on a new ballroom for the White House a good use of taxpayer dollars?

When Nero was emperor of Rome, he built himself a Golden Palace (Domus Aurea) in the middle of Rome with gardens and vineyards and grounds that extended for hundreds of acres. Some sources say the building contained hundreds of rooms.

And when Nero was dead, his golden palace
was buried after his death to erase his legacy. His successors stripped the palace of valuables and filled it with earth to build over it with new structures, such as the Baths of Titus and the Baths of Trajan.
The Colosseum was built on Nero's lake.

When tRump is gone, I foresee a similar erasure of his golden ballroom and restoration of Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden.

Maga is good with it so long as it isn't an immigrant child getting health care. Undocumented immigrants don't get free healthcare but maga seems to care a lot about the small amount of money vs the money Trump is just giving away.

So as long as it's not an immigrant child, they're fine with it.

Last I heard it wasn't being funded by taxes but rather private donors

@BlueGreenGrey how about Obama spending 300m on a basketball court, now thats a waste
@Platinum you mean $7,000 to add lines and basketball goals to an existing tennis court ... get your facts straight ... they didn't demolish the tennis court either, they didn't lie about it three months beforehand, and they went through the conventional approval process that everyone but Trump has gone through

Why do you have hard time admitting Trump is a serial liar when the whole world knows it? He's been doing since before he was ever POTUS (he lied about the property that Trump Tower now occupies too).

(Forbes is a right wing news source, you ought to like that.)

Why do you resort to projecting his habit onto anyone pointing it out to you?

Oh hell, you're not even in the US.
Your fellow MAGAts would tell you to butt out, if you were criticizing Trump LOL:

Being the commoner that I am...the idea of a $200 million or $300 million ballroom is about as big a fucking waste of money that I can fathom. Regardless of who's paying for it.

Another classic ludicrous example of a leftist trying to make a case against Trump that doesn’t know what their talking about. 🤣😂
