Yes. Those corporations are buying much more than a ballroom. They will also end up paying a lot more than $300 million. My guess is that this thing will cost at least $500 million.
@rbreich They can pay for the restoration of the east wing when the ball room is torn down after the orange Mussolini is gone.

@rbreich please call it Epstein Ballroom instead of Trump Ballroom.
Thank you.

@rbreich pretty sure that the word you're looking for is "bribe".
@rbreich But.. but.. that would be.. illegal..
Throne Room for the Pedo, worse than the Lannisters. Game of Thrown Against the Wall.
@rbreich It’s the Bribery Wing of the White House.
@rbreich I come from the eastern zone. There was also a lot of megalomania, overconfidence, and vanity there. But Trump's latest quirk surpasses many things.
It's unclear to me why anyone would vote for him or his gang. (But I ask myself the same question about the AfD in Germany. )
@rbreich
And none of those have got a ¢ from me for many, many years.

They're not just buying a ballroom.
They're buying Trump's favor to get massive federal
contracts, protect their power, and avoid
accountability when they harm the public.
@rbreich Will they have ads in the new wing?
