NOTUS famous that the White Home is pressuring Senators to vote for the ballroom cash, “The White Home’s strain marketing campaign is accelerating earlier than the Senate presents its price range reconciliation invoice as early as subsequent week — whilst Republicans work to patch the opposite provisions that obtained “Byrd bathed” final evening.”
The White Home is continuous arm-twisting to attempt to get Republicans to take a doubtlessly politically suicidal vote to provide him a billion {dollars} for a ballroom that was presupposed to be privately funded, and comprise no funding from the taxpayers.
Earlier within the week, Senate Majority Chief John Thune informed reporters, “20% of that’s going to safe the modernization of the East Wing. Most of it is going for use for different functions.”
Solely 20% of the cash that Trump claims is all going for safety within the ballroom is definitely going for use by the Secret Service for safety within the ballroom.
What precisely are the taxpayers paying for with the opposite 80%?
The opposite query is what would occur to all the personal donations that Trump supposedly raised to pay for the ballroom. The place would that cash go?
The issue is that Republicans understand that voting for Trump’s ballroom will spawn one million marketing campaign adverts in opposition to them, and they’re reluctant to open up that door.
