Trump’s Ballroom Story Blown Up by Jaw-Dropping Leak

The president insisted the costs of his tacky addendum to the White House would not be footed by taxpayers. That wasn’t true.

Just under $300 million was tagged as coming from “private sources,” the newspaper reported Tuesday. Taxpayers remain on the hook for the rest—with $155 million coming through the Secret Service, another $149 million through the White House Military Office, and $3 million through the Executive Residence.

    Besides the fact that it shouldn’t happen in the first place, I take issue with the fact that it isn’t 100% tax-payer funded. Corporations should not be directly funding (bribing) government projects. Tax them.
