President Donald Trump reportedly ordered his motorcade to stop at a Florida strip mall Friday morning so he could purchase supplies for his $400 million White House ballroom.

White House pool reports said the presidential motorcade “arrived at a shopping center in Lake Worth, Florida at 9:46 AM” so Trump could go “shopping at Arc Stone & Tile,” an importer of Italian marble.

When pressed, a White House official said that the president “is purchasing lake and onyx, at his own expense, for the White House ballroom.”

Although he may pay for the materials himself, conservative publication The New Republic pointed out that the president was shopping for his construction project “on the taxpayer’s dime.”

1. Likely Biden's fault

[popsdenver]

8. LOL

OR Hillary's fault,
OR Obama's Fault
OR Bill Clinton's Fault

OR all of them acting as a conspiracy..........and operating out of the basement of a neighborhood pizza place's basement that didn't even have a basement.......

(OH, and if Trump ordered it, the owner better get the money in advance, before even ordering it.......)

[Haggard Celine]

30. It all comes back to the Clenis.

The Clenis is the root of all American evil.

[PATRICK]

43. At least on scale

He easily surpasses Nero. Can he outdo the fantastic ending?

[hlthe2b]

2. He is essentially clinically insane at this point imo. His delusions of grandeur know no bounds...

Everyone should be frightened about what he will do (and we will only know about it after the fact on this and so many things--too late to do anything about it).

[Justice matters.]

24. pedo assumes nobody will hold him accountable like always

lifelong habits.

[Katcat]

29. Well

The gop won’t stop him and neither will the corrupted UnSupreme court. Seems like the pedo conman grifter thief wife beater etc is getting by with everything.
I wish I believed in Heaven and Hell so 8 could at least imagine him in the flames of hell.

[SalamanderSleeps]

42. Top of the world!

[Coldwater]

3. Let me guess

he's not buying Iranian marble

[Botany]

4. How about buying American marble from Georgia or New England instead of Italy?

And while he is at it he can buy a some new marble to replace that exquisite piece
that was @ least 100 years old around the fireplace in the Oval Office where he drilled
into it to hang that ugly phony gold crap?

Btw this was on America’s dime too. Because who was paying for his motorcade?

[Norrrm]

27. BINGO! What happened to 'buy American' and putting Americans to work?

[Botany]

44. Trump is an idiot, with zero taste,* or ...

.. patriotism. If it is going into the White House it should be American stone. We
produce some of the finest stone in the world there is no reason to be buying Italian Marble from a strip mall in Florida outside of the old school mob style kickback. The man doesn't give a shit about the American working man or woman. How many stone workers voted
for Trump?69'


* He can have any cut of meat that there is
but he likes a N.Y. strip, well done, and with ketchup. No bone in rib eye, no prime rib,
no filet Minogue, or pork tenderloin.

[sheshe2]

5. A 'Strip ' Mall?!!!!! 🤣

Figures.

[gab13by13]

6. Nothing is random with Krasnov,

[SergeStorms]

12. You took the words right out of my mouth.

The only thing "random" about The Big Orange Fascist Pig was which underage girl he chose to play "hide the mushroom" with during his Epstein days.
Absolutely nothing is left to chance in Trumpworld.

[LudwigPastorius]

7. This further confirms that Stephen Miller and JD Vance are basically running the country at this point.

They let Trump tweet and bluster in front of the cameras, let him tear down things and have "concepts" of plans about building things, but that's about it.

[PatSeg]

9. I hope Arc Stone & Tile gets paid upfront

before they deliver any marble. We all know how Trump likes to stiff suppliers and contractors.

[maxrandb]

17. I hope they're run out of business

Have no idea of the owners politics, but at this point in history, if you even fucking sell something to this nazi, you're complicit

[PatSeg]

19. Yes, I thought of that

The company who tore down the East Wing seem to have suffered because they took the job. I believe others wisely turned the job down.

[ToxMarz]

45. Arc Stone & Tile paid something upfront to get him there

Bought some Trump crypto or Melania meme coin. Maybe a Trump gold watch. Maybe they smeared some feces at the capitol Jan 6.

[Skittles]

10. I'm sure the people who can no longer afford health insurance can appreciate this

[Haggard Celine]

32. If they can't see by now how little the Republicans care

about them, I'm afraid there's no hope for them. He has demonstrated over and over how much he despises the common man. If the common man can't see who his enemy is, somebody needs to show him.

[Skittles]

35. I could never truly understand it

country folk worshiping a rich, entitled city boy - it makes no fucking sense except for the racism / misogyny factor

[Haggard Celine]

37. That's all it can be.

When you subtract out everything else, that's all that's left. Racism and misogyny. That's a poor foundation for a country.

[Skittles]

38. yup

when Obama was elected it's like they all emerged from under their rocks, then Trump allowed them to be loud and proud with their irrational hatred......sickening to see but I keep this in mind: they ARE outnumbered.....we have to GOTV and keep and eye on the repuke penchant for CHEATING

[Haggard Celine]

39. That's why he wants to stop mail-in voting.

If they make everybody go to the polls on election day, it's easier for them to control. Put twice as many voting booths in the wealthy and middle-class areas as the working class and poor areas. Problem solved. And that kind of shit is going on all over the country. They just don't want us voting. And the arrogant bastards think they have the right to do that to us.

[Skittles]

40. absolutely correct

I live in a metroplex and I have seen it for myself. Repukes know they cannot campaign on their real agenda so cheating has become part of the norm. Dems and We the People must be vigilant.

[JoseBalow]

13. As with all things drumpf, follow the money

He doesn't do anything that isn't in furtherance of his own self-enrichment.

We will eventually learn that he's getting some kind of kickback, or personal favors, or it's a relative of some donor. Sure as rain.

[calimary]

31. THIS.

Yes. Sure as ANY actual weather event of ANY kind.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. He's obsessed with glitz and that's about it. Shallow sociopathic, narcissist imbecile.

[maxsolomon]

15. Probably picked up samples.

The Subcontractors, flooring or otherwise, will purchase the actual marble.

[Kid Berwyn]

16. Trump is a moron fixated by fabric swatches.

Trump, the billion-dollar loser — I was his ghostwriter and saw it happen

Charles Leerhson
Yahoo.com, May 9, 2019

EXCERPT...

I tend to see my time with him — the first part of it, anyway, before things started going bad in a hurry — as his “King Midas” period. I never said this to him; if I had, he probably would have thought I was suggesting he enter the muffler business. But there was a stretch of months when everything he touched turned into a deal. The banks seemed to accept the version of him depicted in his first book, “The Art of the Deal,” which we now know from his previous ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, was entirely invented. They believed it over what they saw on his balance sheets or heard coming out of his mouth, and they never said no to his requests for more money. Often they came up with things he could say yes to before he could think of them himself. As a result, a failing real estate developer who had little idea of what he was doing and less interest in doing it once he’d held the all-important press conference wound up owning three New Jersey hotel-casinos, the Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Airlines Shuttle and a 281-foot yacht.

A real go-getter, right? But Trump’s portfolio did not jibe with what I saw each day — which to a surprisingly large extent was him looking at fabric swatches. Indeed, flipping through fabric swatches seemed at times to be his main occupation. Some days he would do it for hours, then take me in what he always called his “French military helicopter” to Atlantic City — where he looked at more fabric swatches or sometimes small samples of wood paneling. It was true that the carpets and drapes at his properties needed to be refreshed frequently, and the seats on the renamed Trump Shuttle required occasional reupholstering. But the main thing about fabric swatches was that they were within his comfort zone — whereas, for example, the management of hotels and airlines clearly wasn’t. One of his aides once told me that every room at the Plaza could be filled at the “rack rate” (list price) every night, and the revenue still wouldn’t cover the monthly payment of the loan he’d taken out to buy the place. In other words, he’d made a ridiculous deal. Neither he nor the banks had done the math beforehand. Or perhaps Trump knew it because someone had told him, but didn’t want to think about it. The one thing he is above-average at is compartmentalization.

Idiot doesn't read, but knows how to shop.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

18. Faux News lost their "minds" on more than one occasion when Biden stopped at ice cream shops....

I guess they will do the same here.

[sakabatou]

20. OFFS...

[Strelnikov_]

21. The New Republic is conservative?

[Initech]

22. Can we please kick the screaming baby out of government now and put the adults back in charge?

I'd like to tell Asshole where he can go shove his stupid ballroom!

[AZ8theist]

23. "His own expense" BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Somebody may be paying for it, but it sure as shit ain't him.

[mdbl]

25. I'm glad he has such important business to attend to

Maybe he can match the toilet paper color to the marble.

[flvegan]

26. Bullshit. Shopping a Palm Beach store for "supplies" for a DC project? Yeah, right.

Sound like we're about to foot the bill for some Mar a Lago work that'll get tacked on to the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Pedo Ballroom at the White House.

[Wonder Why]

28. Not true. He stopped at a "Dollar" store to buy marbles for his head.

[Tasmanian Devil]

33. I give up ...

I wasted a lot of time trying to tell if this was parody or not. omg.

[Journeyman]

34. Why's he buying marble at retail when he could go to the source in Italy and get the best price? . . .

For a project as large as he claims this atrocity will be, and given who he is, it would only make sense to buy direct from the Italian quarry.

But then, it all comes back to reality. Why's he need ball room when he doesn't have any?

[marble falls]

36. What's wrong with American Marble. Or has he lost his marbles. I wondered why SS knocked on my door.

[Norbert]

41. I hope the proprietor makes sure the check clears before delivering the marble.

[truthisfreedom]

46. Ooh, that Florida marble! It's...

Swamp scented!
