Lindsey is introducing legislation to make taxpayers pay for the ballroom

[senseandsensibility]

He says there will be some kind of "customs tax" to help cover the cost. That's after the taxpayers shell out 400 million. No word about all the private donations that have ballyhooed for months. Guess those went elsewhere or never existed?

1. Republicans are so out of touch.

Hey Lindsey, where are you broadcasting from?

4. Dumbs**t tRUMP went ahead and started this whole thing by himself, w/o any taxpayer input or anything of the

like. Since the idiot in the WH started this whole mess by himself w/ no input, make him pay 100% of the cost, donate all of the proceeds that tRUMP raised under false pretenses ... taxpayers should not pay a thin dime, period.

6. Then he had the nerve to say that we're not a third world country

(so basically we should have a state of the art ballroom), but he's okay with third world healthcare, etc.
Okay, editing to add that apparently the third world country comment was about "changing hands" by ballots not bullets, not the ballroom. Still, a BS comment when he is okay with trump pardoning violent Jan.. 6 rioters.

8. He's vile.

7. The $400,000,000.00 was loaded on to Air Force One and flown down to the Cayman Islands for,..

... for deposit to a secret bank account with djt's name on it. That will be his spending and travel money when djt absconds to the United Arab Emirates to live out his old age in the lap of incomprehensible luxury.

9. We all know the donor money wasn't going to pay for it
