Investigate Trump's Corporate Ballroom Donors

Demand Progress.org

Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House to build his gold-plated ballroom.
Giant corporations like Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Comcast, Google, Palantir, and Meta have ponied up millions to fund Trump's grotesque ballroom.

These companies have profitable contracts with the government or key deals under review by the Trump Administration.
So, Senator Elizabeth Warren is calling out the corruption at the center of these donations to Trump's pet project.
"Americans shouldn't have to wonder whether President Trump is building a ballroom to facilitate a pay-to-play scheme for political favors," she said.

Sen. Warren is demanding an investigation into the corporate donors giving to Trump's ballroom - and so are we.

Sign the petition: Investigate Trump's ballroom donors like Palantir, Amazon, and Lockheed Martin for corruption!

going in underneath the "ballroom" that appears to be full of tables and chairs. The construction companies hired to build this thing, build data centers and impenetrable underground bunkers.
