These are the 37 donors helping pay for Trump's $300 million White House ballroom

WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump says his $300 million White House ballroom will be paid for 100% by me and some friends of mine.
The White House released a list of 37 donors, including crypto billionaires, charitable organizations, sports team owners, powerful financiers, tech and tobacco giants, media companies, longtime supporters of Republican causes and several of the presidents neighbors in Palm Beach, Florida.
Its incomplete. Among others, the list doesnt include Carrier Group, which offered to donate an HVAC system for the ballroom, and artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia, whose CEO, Jensen Huang, publicly discussed its donation.
The White House hasnt said how much each donor is giving, and almost none was willing to divulge that. Very few commented on their contributions when contacted by The Associated Press.

What's after that? Probably the entire original White House.
Please Grim Reaper, finish him off NOW ...

(1,074 posts)Its the cost of doing business. At some point corruption becomes endemic, so you just factor in the additional cost of bribing whomever it is you need to get something done. Its like a tax. And of that means a couple million dollars for the presidents vanity project so be it, especially if its between that or shareholders bailing on you.
Welcome to the gangster run economy.

(4,398 posts)Rebuilding a school will take 30% for public administrator, 30% for the official above that, kickbacks for the contractor as well, eventually tripling the cost of a project that will be poorly constructed. Now we have grifter in chief demanding huge prices in advance of every agreement or project. This WH project will be piss poor design and construction. We need to get the costs to replace the destroyed East Wing defined and charge T to rebuild the structure. As it is .The design is to line the orange ones pockets with gold!
