"Trump calls for end of Senate filibuster to break funding stalemate"
Ah yes, end filibuster to end shutdown, and keep the buster ended for all the grifting and dictating to come. š¤

What the heck??
Surely there is a money trail here. Nothing else makes sense.
Who benefits and how much stock does Trump and his cronies have?

I don't know what y'all are complaining about. $230M is less than a dollar per person in USA; less than $2 per voter or tax filer.
How about y'all include $2 "injustice compensation" in annual tax filing for the next four years and we call it square? Deal? š¤

"Iām not looking for money. Iād give it to charity or something.ā
Yup, most of it will go to "something" and to "charities" which are actually "something". Plus the tax break from giving to "charities".
Daylight robbery.

List of donors for White House ballroom:
BTW the cost estimate went from $200M to $300M. I suppose it will keep going up as "more donors come forward".
