“Built privately”— Trump Says “Patriots” Are Funding White House Ballroom Project

“Built privately”— Trump Says “Patriots” Are Funding White House Ballroom Project Donald Trump is defending the White House ballroom project — and he says the money is coming from private “patriots,” not taxpayers. Trump said he and other supporters are putting up $400 million for what he called the ballroom section of the project. He argued that critics are still unhappy even though, in his telling, they are not being asked to pay for it. “We are putting that up privately,” Trump said. “I am doing it along with other patriots that love our country.” He also tied the project directly to safety, saying the new ballroom would be the “most beautiful” in the world and the “safest ballroom by far.” #DonaldTrump #WhiteHouse #WhiteHouseBallroom #TrumpNews #Patriots #USPolitics #TaxpayerMoney #WashingtonDC #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouseSecurity
