🇺🇸 Trump's ballroom got a quiet half-billion-dollar deal
The White House handed Clark Construction up to $500 million to build the new East Wing ballroom, and never let anyone else bid for it.
The trick was simple. They ran it through the Executive Residence, the small office that usually just buys the White House furniture and art. It does not have to ask for competing bids or say what it spends, so the deal stayed in the dark.
Trump worked out some of the costs himself, and Clark walks away with tens of millions. The ballroom's price tag has nearly tripled along the way, from about $200 million to close to $600 million.
Half a billion in public money, one company, no one watching. This is the exact deal those bidding rules were written to stop.

A Nazi eagle at the White House. 88 foot flagpoles. Nazi salutes. Third Reich slogans such as “One Homeland, One People, One Heritage” & “One of ours, all of yours.” These aren’t parallels or coincidences. They’re turning America into Nazi Germany 2.0 and rubbing our faces in it.
Trump has spent $1.3 million in taxpayer dollars to pave the path to the Oval Office with polished granite carved in Italy.
The money for this project came out of the National Parks budget.
Mitch McConnell trolled RBG on her death bed by releasing the list of nominees he intended to replace her with. He and Trump did that after she had ask McConnell as a personal favor, to wait until after the 2020 election had passed. I just thought you people should know that.

Shakinah, In a room full of immigrants one being ur own husband, and now we kno the real reason why the franchise cancelled u 😂 🤦♂️
Your reminder that this sonofabitch Mitch McConnell, stole not 1 but 2 SCOTUS seats and packed the lower court with right-wing fanatics and refused to persuade Republican Senator's to convict Trump in both impeachment trials. He's responsible for this fucking nightmare.
Trump has been allegedly selling pardons for up to $6 million each.
Now he may sell another 250 and pretend his open call for bribes and corruption is in celebration of our nation.
Most corrupt president ever — and it’s not even close.
Can I just say Dick Harpootlian is the worst!

Alex Murdaugh looks like he became more ☠️ in prison, in my opinion! Thank God he’s shackled!
