Hate Trump - Love Trump - Don't Hate Trump

I am not a fan of Trump even though I voted for him twice. After the insurrection, he lost me. I did not vote for him or Harris the last election, I did a write in knowing it was not going anywhere. I couldn't in good conscience vote for either one of them. Now getting back to Trump, I absolutely hate that he is using our tax money to use on his vanity projects. He says that he needs to build monuments for himself because nobody else will. Maybe he needs to take a step back and figure out why no one wants to build a monument to him. His gaudy gold makes me sick too. He thinks it looks rich, I think it looks cheap. It reminds me of something Dolly said. She said it took a lot of money to make her look that cheap. By comparison, it's taking a lot of taxpayer's money to make the White House and surrounding areas look cheap. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many other things Trump has said and done that makes me cringe.

What is looking cheap around the White House and is paid for by tax payer money?

For one, the Arch he's planning on building. The reflection pool that the no bid contractor he hired help clean and screwed it up. The unnecessary grand ballroom he's having built without congressional approval. That's just to mention a few. He's too much into cosmetics and not everyone has his gaudy tastes. With all of the billions of dollars he's racked up with this war in Iran, which is still going on, I think we the taxpayers are paying enough for it without having to pay for his vanity projects.
Also, I was upset over Trump threatening to demolish the JFK Performing Arts Center if his name didn't get put back up there. HIs name had no business up there. It's a memorial to JFK. That cost more taxpayer money to have his name put up there and then taken down (if it was ever taken down since no one's seen it as far as I know since the tarp is covering it).
Trump has not asked for permission to have any of his vanity projects (we're paying for) to be built. He just starts having them built and then lets the courts fight over it after the construction starts.

Good evening to all-

Truer words we never spoken- or written. WE are paying a great deal for the First Felon's "projects". And the financial cost is only the smallest part of what we are paying and will have to pay for his selfish, misguided, and destructive actions.

you all be safe and keep well- and confusion to the republicans

Until the Kennedy Center is structurally safe again I will not be seen there. How about the Kennedy Clan chipping in?
You may want to check on the financing of the ball room which is needed.
 
Good morning to all-

If you - or anyone else- really thinks that WE the people will not be paying for the First Felon's ballroom, then there's an ice-rink just off the beach here in south Alabama that I'd like to sell you...

Of course WE will be paying for his foolish construction.

Congress has already allocated 257 million dollars for the renovation of the Kennedy Center. Trump stated that the $257 million dollars allocated by Congress will not be used for renovations unless his name is added to the building. In other words, he sounds like he's holding the money hostage. According to Google,.. taxpayers are expected to pay roughly half of the total $600 million estimated cost-for the ballroom and associated security project.

Pretty much every president has made significant changes to the White House. It's only a problem when Trump does it.

That may be true, but in my opinion, he is going overboard. Plus...why does he have to put his name on everything when us taxpayers are paying for his extravagance? From what I've read, he wants to put drones and snipers in and around the arch. I just don't understand him wanting to use our tax money like it's monopoly money, like it has no value. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that's just my opinion.

That is kind of like saying youtube is the source. You need to research a lot more than just saying google.

You Tube is a very good source for DIY projects. I've learned a lot from them. Well, I read several sources. You asked me to name one and I did. We'll have to agree to disagree. You're entitled to your opinions and I'm entitled to mine. Having said that, I try to keep an open mind to other people's opinions even if I don't agree with them.

How Is the White House Ballroom Being Funded and What ...

Executive summary The White House ballroom project is officially being built primarily with private donations that the administration says cover above‑gro...
factually.co factually.co
And other sites.
Trump saw the need for a special facility with special protections during these turbulent times for large meetings and formal functions.
My opinion is that Biden (we) spent waaaaaaayyyyy more money bringing in WEF/UN mass migration. People came from all over the world, China. African countries, middle eastern...all coming through South America to cross the Rio Grande. He said he could not close the border that he threw open and advertised. Then the taxpayers paid to have them transported to sanctuary cities like NY putting them up in 5 star hotels and providing meals they threw away demanding different food etc., giving them medicare/medicaid and free schooling while many of our vets remained homeless.
MILLIONS of illegal aliens that out weight the cost of the ballroom which we did NOT pay for.
During covid more money went out, much was fraudulent, building on the fraud that was started by the above. And THEN Biden blanket pardoned everyone and his brother even before trials.
When was that ever done before?
