What a fucking circus. I hope he never gets funding for his stupid ballroom, and he has to spend his entire presidency looking at a giant fucking muddy hole of his own creation, like the Slumlord he knows he is at his core.

It would be a master stroke of engineering and carpentry to get it done before his presidency ends even with completely smooth sailing to the end starting today, and the next President, even if a Republican, would likely scrap it as the boondoggle it is.

It's not going to be properly engineered. It'll fall apart in just a few years, but sound, responsible engineering isn't Trump's style.

And then pocket the money! What? The last guy did it all the time? /s

I have been thinking about this and I don't know if he even needs funding. He just tells construction companies to do things without a worry about a budget and if the money never comes they can probably sue for damages anyway.

There is stupid, and there is trust Trump to pay you as a contractor with the backup plan to sue the federal government if it goes bad.

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Trump has never knowingly paid in full for any work he's commissioned. Anyone who takes on work he's offering should know that in advance.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Its actually the safest time to work for him because he isn't using his own money.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He already has funding to finish it. They can't continue construction because of the lawsuit.

[–] Unstoppable_Flop@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As if they ever cared about laws or lawsuits, they can't finish it cause he already spent the money

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, they literally can't continue because of the judges order.

[–] Unstoppable_Flop@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah cause that stopped him every other time

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I think this time he is just letting it play out. It looks bad on the Democrats just leaving it like it is.

[–] Unstoppable_Flop@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago

That is possible, didn't consider that
