Yeah in case you haven’t realised he doesn’t give a fuck about you.

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

This is going to be news to some USAians.

Building an opulent ballroom while making sure millions will lose their homes, go without healthcare, and starve? This sounds like the last days of the French monarchy.

[-] MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca 62 points 3 days ago

It's actually just a distraction. The real corruption is the 5 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires and the 1 trillion in healthcare cuts for Medicaid to partially for it. If you're talking millions you're being distracted.

Even fucking billions don't count for much any more.

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

Serious question about his supporters: Are they cool with this? Like, hey a $200 mio. ballroom at the white house is exactly what I voted for.

[-] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

Who knows. I know there is a rift that has started within MAGA, over the Epstein stuff. I predict there will be no MAGA as it stands by the end of this reign of Trump, siting incidents like these with the ballroom, Zionist, pedos and more to come. Trump isn't worried about anyone, especially this term, as it is with all the presidents as they concentrate on their legacy (ego,) not their constituents, and campaign promises. The working class that voted for him will equally get a wake up call by terms-end, a come to Jesus moment.

Crony capitalism is just capitalism

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Unpopular thing to point out in libertarian spaces.

[-] Barking@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Hrm. Throne room under a different name.

[-] drdalek@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 3 days ago

He is planning on never leaving. Or he wouldn't bother. He doesnt do things with foresight unless FOR himself.

[-] urandom@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

This is just to distract you from him being a pedo

Pedo ballroom

[-] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 56 points 3 days ago

He's seriously going full force on the Midas Touch.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 49 points 3 days ago

always has been, you can see pictures of his properties, tacky as fuck

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 days ago

The Midas grab

So, I've been going through making profiles for everybody, starting with Jeffrey Epstein, and generating a new, connected note when I see new information (Obsidian). I'm running with the hypothesis and framework that "The Establishment" is a real criminal enterprise. What I've found seems to be five branches, ranging from finance to intelligence, all interconnected. Two prevalent philosophies beyond greed and power: Christen Zionism and Transhumanism. Basically, it is a big coherent effort by lots of individuals and agencies with like goals. Trump, I call the disruptor. Basically, Trump seems to be so full of himself that he thinks he can take on the system AND be a dictator, from what I've gathered (189 profiles, including individuals, agencies, events, timeline, doctrines)

Domus Aurea

They’re going to find some amazingly gaudy things when the people finally storm the palace in twenty years or so.

The scary part about the ballroom is that he wouldn't be building it at the WH if he expected to be out of there in 3 years. He'd be building it at Mar-a-Lago or something.

[-] rafoix@lemmy.zip 32 points 3 days ago
  • will be paid for by Trump and unidentified donors

lol like that fat ass will ever pay for anything with his money.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago

Unidentified donors, also known as taxpayers.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 16 points 3 days ago

I'm surprised it'll be in the white house and not in mar-a-lago

[-] CheezyWeezle@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

He doesn't plan on moving out

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

You didn't read the article I guess. There is already one at Mar a Lago.

It also says he and donors will pay for it. Does anyone believe that I wonder.

[-] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

donors

USA tax payers, probably.

[-] Entertainmeonly 1 points 1 day ago

Well, of course. Just like Mexico paid for the wall.

Better to get upset about a stupid ballroom than any other, more damning issue in the current news cycle that the current administration might prefer you forgot about...

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

"Crony" what a bullshit word. Lol

Is it to celebrate the release of the Epstein files?

[-] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 3 days ago

Need all that room to play hide and rape the kids.

[-] Kurious84@lemmings.world 16 points 3 days ago

Shocker. Russia 2.0 in America. Nice job voters.

I would think this guy was being so over-the-top cartoonishly evil on purpose just to get us to grow a spine and rise up to overthrow the corrupt government if we were actually growing a spine and rising up to overthrow the government.

[-] crankyrebel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It won't happen, under Capitalism, they have a large part of the working class, PMC class, walking on a salary vs debt thin edge, too afraid to change anything because their world would fall apart. It is a devious plan and it works, prevents them from grabbing pitchforks, and often even attacking those that are trying to rise up against the oligarchs.

One of the new episodes of Gumball has the answer to this. I never thought I'd see a kids show so blatantly just say it... EAT. THE. RICH.

Better cutting something else

( ^◡^)っ✄╰⋃╯

[-] AreaKode@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

No, no, no. He and his buddies are going to pay for it! They all just came into an unexpected windfall when a bunch of poors decided they didn't need their healthcare anymore!

Noo, Trump. You forgot that your ~~palace~~ seat of government needs to be outside of the city so you can have even more control over the ~~royalty~~ totally democratically elected politicans by making them kiss your rancid rear while being out of their offices. You already have the make-up part & ridiculous hair-do down so well.

[-] amda@feddit.nl 9 points 3 days ago

Will there be a plaque saying this ballroom brought to you by the death of sesame Street?
