A $300 million dollar ballroom for him. $230 million from the DOJ for him.

$ 172 million for new jets for Kristi Noem. $800 million from crypto for hm. A $1billion refurbished Qatari jet for him. But no healthcare or food assistance for those who need it.

That’s Trump’s America!

How much is being taken in as 'donations'?
How much is actually spent?
