He announced wanting a ballroom months ago and the Dems announced today they want to know what's going on. WTF too late. It's always late. Every Dem should be shouting "HE IS BUILDING A BALLROOM WHILE CHILDREN STARVE". Where are they?

All The Donors Financing Trump’s Ballroom As He Demolishes The White House — HuffPost

Trump may have destroyed American history by razing the East Wing, but at least these corporations and rich people get to buy access to the president.

US Supreme Court does not uphold Constitution.
House of Representatives refuses to swear in elected Representative.
President violates the Constitution daily.

It's over folks. The USA does not exist.

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing.

Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.
