Trump stops motorcade at shopping center to buy marble, onyx for ballroom

President Donald Trump halted his motorcade at a Florida shopping center Friday morning to buy marble and onyx “at his own expense” for the new White House ballroom, according to the pool report.

The out-of-town press pool remained in vans parked near railroad tracks while Trump was inside Arc Stone & Tile in an industrial area of Lake Worth, Florida , located off of I-95., according to the report.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House via email Friday morning for comment.

Why It Matters

Trump said he recently refurbished parts of the White House with marble floors and is adding marble armrests for the Kennedy Center.

What To Know

Trump has long floated the idea of a White House ballroom, even before entering politics. In July, the White House said a 90,000-square-foot space would be built on the east side of the complex to seat 650 guests at an estimated cost of $200 million, funded by private donations, including from Trump.

And helping a small business and saving money at the same time.

Can’t wait to see our new ballroom!

When Trump shops, he shops big. Last time, he had both Canada and Greenland placed into his Cart. Puerto Rico was placed back on the shelf.
Neither item is prepared for shipping just yet.
All in good time.... Or your money back!

Finally a beautiful, and classy ballroom and dinning building fit for America’s home of our first family. No more walking through mud into a tent to host important events. Libtards don’t like it because they didn’t think of it. Good thing too, because it would probably resemble something ridiculous painted with rainbows, unicorns, snowflakes and buttercups. Or they might just be happy to watch the old building fall down in decay.

Why is “at his own expense” in quotes? Oh, Newsweak. Standard TDS.

“Libtards don’t like it because they didn’t think of it.”

Yup. And also because Trump did it. TDS. President Trump could fund curing cancer - oh wait he actually did - and Libtards would find something to complain about - oh wait they did.

President Donald Trump halted his motorcade at a Florida shopping center Friday morning to buy marble and onyx “at his own expense” for the new White House ballroom...

"Arc Stone & Tile"

I expected something to pop up in the Megillah, but there's only 1 verse in the KJV with marble and onyx. It jumped out because last night I was looking at this same verse. It had been pointed out in a new video 'oxensibly' having nothing to do with President Trump, although the teacher had recently relocated to the Miami area.

1 Chronicles 29

1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

Torah Chemistry

The relevant section starts at 1:07:00, which is the last 5 minute of the class. The above verses are displayed on the vid.

1:06:53
to restore to heal it you have to rebalance it so it's naturally all about balance in the body homeost stasis
1:07:00
balance in the in the human body. That's now going back to where it says that
1:07:05
King David left a lot of gold and silver and copper for
1:07:11
King Solomon. And it says there he it lists a bunch of things that he left him. King David says, "I wanted to build
1:07:18
the temple, but Hashem said, you're not going to be the one to build it. Your son will build it." But King David
1:07:23
amassed all the resources necessary. And he says, "I prepared for the house of
1:07:28
God."

Continuing in the context of the periodic table, he then describes a gematria sum that had been going all around the Jewish sites at the time of the 2016 election, although as I said, this video was not about President Trump.

(דונלד טראמפ Donald Trump = 424)

iron: 55.85
copper: 63.55
silver: 107.86
gold: 196.97

(424.23)

The reason the 424 was going around was that 424 = Mashiach ben David (משיח בן דוד)

Lest anyone cruising by might be inclined to jump to conclusions, I'm merely pointing out the sum in its coordinated timing and context, of President Trump stopping to purchase marble and onyx for the White House ballroom.

1:09:10
was entirely peaceful during his reign. He built the temple. All of Israel was united in their ancestral lands,
1:09:16
everything. Basically, it was all set for Gula. They almost brought Guula, but then it
1:09:22
didn't happen. But King Solomon was the potential Messiah of his generation. And he was literally an anointed king of
1:09:28
Israel, the Mashiach Benavid. And King David leaves for him, he says, these four elements with which to build the
1:09:34
temple and bring the Gulah. And what is the sum? What is the sum of these four atomic masses? 424
1:09:43
Immatria Mashiach Bendavid. Oh wow. 424 Mashiach Ben Davidid.
1:09:50
It's pretty cool, right? The four elements that King David leaves him add up to 424 of Mashia.
1:09:58
Because everything was in place. Yes. I think since then, today is the
1:10:03
closest we've ever gone. Right. This is now we're at another chance. Exactly. It's another auspicious time.

Speedgoat is a pronghorn. Like a trash panda )racoon). Like a thunder chicken (wild turkey).

They are fast, and you ought to be as well. Hard with a bow.

They are quoting the White House official who shared that information.

OK.

This isn’t a moral issue so I don’t see why it’s a big deal.

Democrats are really desperate for SOMETHING to vilify Trump over if this is the best/worst they can come up with to criticize him.

He was spotted by Florida DemonRATS who had stopped their motorcades to by fentanyl from Venezuelans off the streets of Florida before the drug supplies dry up.

Oh, TDS on steroids. Not only opposing the ballroom, but everything else that he has done that’s been good for the country, including capturing Maduro and wife. You have to be a sick, delusional, freak to oppose taking out a monster.

TDS is such a terrible condition that it shapes the entire day/life of anyone that suffers from it.

I cannot imagine hating anyone so much that they occupy my very being.

I truly hated obama and big mike, but they did not control my being and rarely gave them any thought.

I confess that I now include TDS sufferers in my daily prayers as I have no hate, only pity, for these poor bastards.

May God have mercy on their souls.
