I like that he can really focus on the minutia of government.
More and more he is coming across as a petulant child.

That’s funny. That’s why we love him so much. The left REMOVES statues. We at least rebuild them after the left lets them rot.

Yep. But the only thing saving him and the GOP is the fact that the Dems have gone batschit crazy and are now full DSA

Sadly to a large swath of voters “bat shit crazy” is their own default position.

They are paying for the Ballroom, which is under budget.

If you have an itemized bill you’d like to file some complain about, feel free. Did you expect the donors to fix the DoW command center beneath the White House too?

Trump pledged to raise $100M over and above what has been appropriated by congress to perform the renovations. Yes, if they are going to insult donors, eff em. just shut it down.

Quit worrying about naming things and stay busy fixing things. That’s what we elected you for.

Donors pledged another $200 million, too.

Combined with Trump’s $100 million, it’s more than 1/2 of the money for the renovation. The renovation cannot be accomplished without the private money.

Bylaws and terms of pledges require money to be returned without the name change.

This is not Trump being petty. They just don’t have enough money without the name change.
