Imperial Ballroom Costs Go Up By $100 Million

 

The mentally ill and unfit Malignant Fascist, with his dream of a gaudy, grand ballroom to mark his "golden age" of bribery and corruption, has just hiked the cost of the vulgar monstrosity (like his inflation-caused costs of goods in the economy).  Originally, the cost (to be borne by corporate entities and individuals seeking favors from the MF) was $250 million, then upped to $300 million.  Now, according to the MF himself, the new cost will be $400 million (for now, suckers):

“We’re donating a $400 million ballroom. Myself and donors are giving them, free of charge, for nothing, we’re donating a building that’s approximately 400 millions, I think I’ll do it for less, but it’s 400. I should do it for less. I will do it for less. But just in case, I say 400. Otherwise if I go $3 over, the press will say, ‘It cost more.’ I build under budget and ahead of schedule … always. I know how to build under budget. I build good.”

The MF has been trying to build a physical legacy to fortify his damaged ego in the past 11 months.  That includes the gaudy ballroom that required the destruction of the East Wing, a massive "arch de Trump" that will certainly have his name on it, renaming the U.S. Institute for Peace building, and his attempted extortion of the Washington Commanders owners to name the new stadium in Washington, D.C., after him.  You can be certain that more of this malignant narcissism is to come.  All this as the nation faces higher prices for food and health insurance, not to mention a new war for regime change and oil in Venezuela.

Here's the list of the "donors"  for the MF's imperial ballroom (as far as have been made public).  Remember them for their bribery, corruption and cowardice for when a reckoning comes, and it will.
