5. It's Trump Math
Thu May 7, 2026, 10:27 AM

Trump said, after he demolished the White House East Wing, he would build a ballroom that would cost only $100 million.
He said all $200 million of that $100 million will come from private donations.

After construction started he told us we taxpayers would not pay one cent of the $300 million because all $400 million of that will come from private donations.

And now Republicans have put $1 BILLION into the federal budget to pay for the ballroom.

Trump's uncle taught math at MIT. Maybe that's the answer.
