Because he's a delusional narcissist that suffers from galloping dementia and is completely out of touch with reality. Plus he enjoys causing suffering for others.
his obsession with gold leafing or plating everything pretty much tells how shallow he is.
"In the middle of 1985, I got an invitation from Adnan Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian and a billionaire at the time, to come to his apartment in Olympic Tower. I went, and while I didn’t particularly go for the apartment, I was impressed by the huge size of its rooms. Specifically, it had the biggest living room I’d ever seen. I had plenty of space in my triplex, but I figured, What the hell? Why shouldn’t I have exactly the apartment I wanted—particularly when I built the whole building?
I decided to take over one of the other apartments on the top three floors and combine it with mine. It has taken almost two years to renovate, but I don’t believe there is any apartment anywhere in the world that can touch it. And while I can’t honestly say I need an eighty-foot living room, I do get a kick out of having one."
Guess who said that.
Not to worry, the ball room is 100% paid for by bribes!
Why isn't Trump using those bribes to feed Americans instead? Doesn't he care about Americans? Does Trump ballroom more than he wants Americans children to not go hungry?
So, in order. He doesn't want to, emphatically no, and he doesn't give two shits about either, but loves the bribes and stuffing construction companies.
(they were rhetorical)
he said early on his campaign, he only needed thier votes, he dint care about them.
And the majority of Americans:
A. Openly wanted this
B. Didn't care enough to view it happening as a problem
C. Didn't think it would happen?
FML
Because it’s paid for with ~~bribes~~ “donations”
This is also how he was able to skirt congressional oversight on it.
No, he moved forward without bothering to ask anyone for permission and then fired the oversight agency when they loudly complained about the complete destruction of the East Wing.
The design is very human.
This kills the king.
We will seize the means of production of Louisettes.
That motherfucker rationalizing a $230,000,000 grift to himself when he's trying to argue that he can't fund food for the poor is big time motherfuckery.
May the spirit of Player 2 be upon him.
He's not rationalizing it to himself but to anyone who's challenged enough to listen and take his words in earnest. 😔
To be fair, the old tiles would clash with the design esthetic of the Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom.
That is not a MINOR issue.
The JEMB
Silly for him to spend all that money on toilets when he shits his pants anyway
Ah yes, Marie Trumpoinette.
Viva la revulotion!
Let them have taco bowls.
