but Trump launched it anyway, he should be forced to pay for it personally. He is illegally enriching himself off the presidency, after all.

Same goes for the East Wing and the Reflecting Pool. Since they weren’t authorized or funded, Trump is simply stealing from the Treasury to build his vanity projects. He can damn well pay for them out of his own pocket.
