BREAKING: ARE YOU KIDDING!? Trump gets caught funneling your tax dollars into a pricey vanity project inside the White House — after promising to pay for it himself.
He keeps pulling this con and MAGA keeps falling for it...
According to a new report in The Atlantic, Trump replaced the paved walkway that connects the White House Residence to the Oval Office, swapping out Tennessee flagstone for incredibly expensive African granite that was carved in Italy. When he was asked in March who would shoulder the bill, Trump said "Paid for me."
As it turns out, he was lying through his dentures.
Budget documents from the National Park Service reviewed by The Atlantic reveal that the walkway project cost taxpayers $689,232 and is just one piece of a $1.3 million project that also included repairing stone and masonry and upgrading doors. Meanwhile, average Americans can barely afford groceries.
But it gets even worse....
Documents marked as a “rush project at request of POTUS" reveal that the Park Service also wasted $347,503 to "remove and replace the stucco on the colonnade wall" so that Trump could "affix gold frames and plaques mocking some of his predecessors." In other words, he took money out of our pockets and used it to make the White House uglier while slinging partisan mud.
Spending on projects in parks outside of the Washington, D.C. area have been slashed by a jaw-dropping $854 million, or 68%. Meanwhile, spending in the capital spiked by $100 million. As Trump's presidency collapses into failure, he's desperately trying to build a physical legacy for himself outside of his window.
Every single one of those dollars should have gone towards their intended purpose, which is maintaining and upgrading our beloved National Parks. But of course Trump doesn't care about our parks because they belong to everyone. It doesn't matter to him if American families are able to enjoy the natural splendor of our beautiful country like generations before have. All he cares about is slapping his tacky aesthetic on everything within reach.
"This previously undisclosed spending is part of an enormous shift of taxpayer cash away from national parks around the country and into the Washington area," writes Michael Scherer for The Atlantic. "In order to pay for the president’s projects, the parks have had to cancel needed repairs, slash their budgets, and operate with fewer employees."
Scherer adds that Park Service employees say that there's a "quiet crisis unfolding" as the Interior Department's budget shrinks and funds are moved away from the usual priorities.
Projects that got stiffed include a much-needed "$1.5 million roof-replacement project at the Yellowstone Center for Resources to halt pest invasions and water leaks, more than $3 million to continue operating the free-bus system in Acadia National Park, and a roughly $424,000 guardrail replacement on the cliff edge of Black Canyon in Colorado’s Gunnison National Park, a project needed to rectify a 'significant safety hazard for visitors.'"
This is what happens when you elect the very worst that America has to offer. Everything of value gets reduced to ash.
Please ❤️ and share to demand a full forensic investigation into this scandal!
In an interview, Democratic candidate for Florida Governor David Jolly points out Trump's attack on the Democrats. He called ALL Democrats "Godless communists"! At the same time, he says he's without sin, so he doesn't have to ask for forgiveness. He's the antithesis of Jesus! 👿
Mike Johnson ADMITS MAGA cronies are corrupt and there’s reason to investigate them! These guys can’t stop saying the quiet part out loud.
They know we have the power to win the midterms and they are afraid.
President Trump has slashed programs to lower the cost of health insurance, rolled back grants for communities, but he’s giving out tens of millions of our tax dollars in no-bid contracts to companies that clearly are not capable of delivering.

Jon Ossoff: “They worked harder burying the Epstein Files than they ever worked to lower your grocery bill. And while you pay more for everything, the Trumps are raking in billions. Illegal tariffs, failed war, healthcare cuts, and unmatched corruption. 34% approval and a presidential legacy cemented in disgrace”
Talarico: Every bar has that one guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking.
That’s Ken Paxton.
And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.
BILL MAHER: "Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes: either we win, or they cheated. That shit has to stop."
JD VANCE: “Here’s where I’m probably gonna lose you…”
BILL MAHER: “That happened 8 minutes ago.”
JD VANCE: *Forced laughter*
🚨TRUMP SUFFERS A HUMILIATING CONTRAST:
Donald Trump is STUNNED after REFUSING to sign Congress’ historic housing bill…
As Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker unveils the LARGEST affordable housing plan in HISTORY to lower housing costs for working families.
“I think it may be the number one issue across the country…”
This plan cuts red tape, invests $250 million to build more homes, and helps first-time buyers finally get their foot in the door.
This is what REAL action on affordability from a REAL leader looks like. Every American should see this.

🚨 WTF?! Prominent political analyst Kimberly Atkins Stohr exposes Donald Trump's illegal plot to commandeer the US Postal Service!
She confirms he tried to unconstitutionally ban mail-in ballots and punish states that defied him.
The White House is attacking democracy!
Burgum on the reflecting pool: "When people are using boxcutters to do vandalism on this thing it's the same as if they were throwing paint on Lincoln's statue in the eyes of the law. We've had seven arrests."
Restaurant refuses to pay workers in full—threaten to call ICE when they demand payment.
"I will call ICE because you don’t have papers," manager says.
Workers accept job at wage of $20/hour.
But on payday—they are only paid half.
"Just to avoid paying they call ICE on you," said man filming. "That's just how things are now."
Incident occurred in Brooklyn, New York.
He doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting credited video here first to raise awareness.
This is Trump watching Kamala Harris speak at the DNC which he swore he never watched.If you look next to him it’s none other than his Executive Assistant & the woman that supposedly will never leave him Natalie Harp typing out all his posts just like we thought.Lies Lies Lies
Imagine if, instead of Trump, it were Joe Biden who was trying to collect information from the states to build a national voter list.
“Republicans would lose their minds,” Marc Elias said. “Conservatives would be decrying this.”

🚨 BOMBSHELL! CNN confirms a massive Pentagon disaster.
Analyst reveals Iran successfully struck the US 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain and a major base in Saudi Arabia!
Washington's deterrence has collapsed. Trump is terrified as Tehran brilliantly exposes US vulnerability.
George Conway on Trump: “I hear a long-standingly mentally ill man, a narcissistic sociopath, who is cognitively declining in his elder years, becoming increasingly disinhibited. He is somebody becoming more and more self-destructive. The question is how big is the blast radius?”
FFS! So now Trump has his cabinet on Fox inventing vandals to protect his feelings.
“So when people are using box cutters to do vandalism on this thing, it’s the same as if they were throwing paint on Lincoln’s statue in the eyes of the law.
President Trump came to D.C. to drain the swamp, and some of these folks are trying to bring it back. It’s crazy.”
— Interior Secretary Doug Burgum
Six years later and Trump hasn't learned a damn thing.
He is out there again threatening Lisa Murkowski saying she will never win another election again.
The first time he said this about Murkowaski was in 2020 when he lost the presidential election.
Murkowaski's fellow Republicans supported her and she won again in 2022 to continue to be Alaska's senator.
Now he is saying the same thing and crowds are booing her.
Hope history repeats itself and he (you know he wants to) or whoever he picks to run for president in 2026 loses.
Trump is a bully and incompetent as fuck.
