Senate GOP drops $1 billion Trump ballroom security request
Senate Republicans removed a $1 billion proposal to fund Secret Service security upgrades for President Donald Trump’s planned White House East Wing ballroom from an immigration enforcement funding bill. Multiple Republican senators objected to sending taxpayer dollars to the East Wing revamp, and Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled against including the funding; President Trump then demanded MacDonough be fired. The cut is a direct setback for the ballroom project and highlights GOP disagreements over spending as lawmakers haggle over immigration and security funding.
NEW: The Senate just blocked funding for Trump's absurd ballroom. This is because of your voice, standing up against corruption. Keep staying loud!
It’s his stupid idea and as usual, he lied about who would foot the bill & started demolishing the White House without proper permission. He can pay for it with all of the money he is grifting on a daily basis.
He will find another way to steal the money.
Now rebuild the West Wing and charge his mobster a$$ for it.
WE THE PEOPLE have had it!
And it is not a ballroom. It is a bunker.
Now what? The White House grounds looks an eye sore now.
He won't stop. It will be on to the next grift.
Now they should do the same for the $2 billions in taxpayers looting to pay himself and his private army
I have no idea what the point was in the first place. He can't dance, he has no balls and if he wanted it for a 'safe place', he spends his life with his head up his ass. Probably plenty safe up there!
