Trump adding "guest suites" to his ballroom opens up a new revenue stream for him that he's exploited in the past [View all]
"GUEST SUITES" mean GUESTS...and even if Trump can't get away with CHARGING "guests" at the White House, he had a little trick he played every time the Secret Service was required to stay at one of his properties to "protect" him...HE CHARGED THEM HIGHLY INFLATED ROOM RATES.
Never underestimate Trump's "creative accounting" practices, even if he's not allowed to charge. He'll find some way to cook the books and get away with it.
Trump’s ever-expanding ballroom will form part of a new two-story building that will dominate the White House and feature monumental stairs, guest suites, and a multi-level passageway connecting it to the president’s main residence.
As Trump let it slip on Tuesday that his Mar-a-Lago-style project would now cost $400 million—double the original price tag—government documents submitted in court this week revealed how much the plan has grown since it was announced.
